Introduction
Ledger® Start is the official onboarding process for new Ledger users. Whether you’ve just purchased your first Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, Ledger Start ensures that you can set up your wallet securely and start protecting your crypto assets without stress.
Why Ledger Start matters
Setting up a hardware wallet is a crucial step for crypto security. Ledger Start provides a guided process to generate a PIN code, write down your 24-word recovery phrase, and connect to Ledger Live — the management software that gives you complete control over your portfolio.
Setup steps
- Unbox your Ledger device and connect it via USB.
- Power on and choose “Set up as new device.”
- Create a secure PIN code on the device screen.
- Write down your 24-word recovery phrase safely.
- Download and install Ledger Live on your computer or phone.
- Pair your wallet with Ledger Live for asset management.
Tips for security
Always keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask for your recovery words. Avoid saving it digitally to reduce hacking risks. These steps are simple but crucial to protect your holdings.
