Just got your brand new Ledger® hardware wallet? 🎉 You’re about to enter a world of secure, self-custodied digital assets. Whether it’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, or hundreds of altcoins — your ultimate destination for safe setup is Ledger.com/Start. Let’s walk through every step to get your Ledger device up and running smoothly. 💼✨
Open your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax — inside, you’ll find your device, USB cable, recovery sheets, and instruction manual. Before you do anything else, inspect the packaging. If there are signs of tampering, don’t proceed. 🔍
Use a secure browser and head directly to Ledger.com/Start. This is the official, verified page that guides you to install Ledger Live — the essential companion app for managing your crypto safely. 🖥️🔒
Click the download link suited for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). After installation, open the Ledger Live app. It will be your secure hub for checking balances, sending/receiving crypto, and installing apps on your Ledger device. 🧩📊
Plug your Ledger device into your computer or mobile device using the USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X). Follow the on-screen instructions on the Ledger Live app to detect your device. Once recognized, you’re ready to begin the setup process. 🔗💡
Select this option to generate a brand-new private key that lives inside your Ledger. You’ll be prompted to create a unique PIN code. Make it strong and memorable — it's your first line of defense against unauthorized access. 🔢🛡️
Now the most important part: Your Ledger will show a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down on the provided sheet — in the exact order — and store it in a fireproof, offline location. 🔥🚫 No screenshots, no cloud storage. Whoever holds this phrase controls your crypto.
Ledger will ask you to re-enter your 24-word phrase to confirm it's recorded accurately. This step is crucial — one typo could cost you access later. 🧾✅
After confirmation, you’ll land on the dashboard in Ledger Live. From here, you can install apps for specific cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and many more. Think of these apps as bridges between your hardware wallet and the blockchain. 🌉🌐
Go ahead and add accounts for each crypto you own. Ledger Live gives you full control: receive addresses, transaction history, and balance info — all verified on your secure device screen. 📈📬
