Ledger.com/start

A clearer route
to getting started.

Setting up a hardware wallet is easier when each stage is completed carefully. Use the official Ledger resources and follow the instructions shown for your specific device.

01 / PREPARE

Begin with the official setup environment

Ledger.com/start provides an organized entry point for device onboarding. Before continuing, make sure you have your Ledger device, a compatible computer or mobile device where applicable, and a secure place to keep important recovery information. Using official Ledger resources also helps reduce the risk of following misleading setup instructions found elsewhere online.

02 / CONNECT

Pair your device with the wallet application

The setup process connects your hardware device with Ledger's current wallet software. Follow the prompts displayed by the official application and on your Ledger device. Take time to read each screen rather than rushing through confirmation steps.

03 / CONFIGURE

Choose your security settings

Device security is a central part of onboarding. Create the requested access credentials and carefully follow the official recovery instructions supplied during setup.

04 / VERIFY

Review before you continue

Confirm that the information displayed on your physical Ledger device matches what you expect before approving sensitive actions.

05 / MANAGE

Explore your wallet

Once onboarding is complete, the Ledger wallet application can provide tools for viewing accounts and managing supported digital assets.

The setup,
at a glance.

Think of onboarding as a short sequence rather than one complicated task. Completing each stage deliberately can make the first experience easier to understand.

STEP 01

Prepare

Visit the official Ledger setup resource and make sure your device and required software are ready.

STEP 02

Initialize

Follow the instructions shown during device initialization and pay attention to every security-related prompt.

STEP 03

Secure

Protect recovery information carefully and never disclose secret credentials to another person or website.

STEP 04

Explore

After setup, learn the wallet interface and review supported assets before making transactions.

Security first

Slow down where it matters.

A secure setup is not only about completing the installation. It is also about protecting sensitive information throughout the process. Never enter a recovery phrase into an unfamiliar website, send it to another person, or share it through messages or email.

  • Use official Ledger resources whenever possible.
  • Read device prompts before confirming actions.
  • Keep recovery information private and protected.
  • Be cautious of unsolicited support messages and links.
Important: Ledger will not need your secret recovery information to provide ordinary support. Treat requests for sensitive recovery credentials as a serious warning sign.
