🚀 Welcome to Ledger.com/Start – Your Crypto Journey Begins Here!

Whether you’re new to crypto or a seasoned investor, securing your digital assets is the first and most important step. At Ledger.com/Start, we guide you through the setup of your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring your crypto is protected by industry-leading security. 🛡️

Let’s walk through what you can expect and how to get started in just a few easy steps.

🧱 What Is Ledger?

Ledger is a global leader in crypto security. We build hardware wallets that keep your private keys offline—safe from hackers, malware, and scams. Combined with the Ledger Live app, you get a powerful, all-in-one solution to manage, buy, sell, stake, and grow your crypto securely. 💰📱

📦 Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger Device

When your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Ledger Stax arrives, make sure:

✅ The box is sealed properly
 ✅ All contents are included (device, USB cable, recovery sheets, and instructions)
 ✅ Nothing looks tampered with

If anything feels off, stop and contact Ledger Support immediately. 🔍

🔐 Step 2: Go to Ledger.com/Start

This is the official and only recommended starting point to set up your Ledger device. Avoid third-party websites or YouTube tutorials—many of them could lead to scams. 🚫

At Ledger.com/Start, you’ll:

➡️ Download the Ledger Live app (available on desktop and mobile)
 ➡️ Follow secure, step-by-step setup instructions
 ➡️ Learn how to create a PIN and write down your 24-word recovery phrase

Never share your recovery phrase with anyone—even Ledger. That phrase is the only backup to your crypto wallet. 🧠✍️

🔧 Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger Device

Using Ledger Live, follow the guided steps:

  1. Plug in your device via USB
  2. Choose “Set up as new device”
  3. Create a PIN code (between 4 and 8 digits)
  4. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase carefully on the provided recovery sheet

💡 Tip: Keep your recovery phrase offline, stored in a safe place like a fireproof box or safe.

🛑 If someone else gets access to your recovery phrase, they can control your crypto.

📲 Step 4: Pair with Ledger Live

Once your device is set up, connect it to Ledger Live, the official app that lets you:

💼 Manage over 5,500 coins and tokens
 📈 Track your portfolio in real-time
 🔄 Swap or send/receive crypto
 🪙 Stake coins and earn rewards
 🎨 View and manage your NFTs

Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Use only the version from Ledger.com or official app stores to stay safe. 🔒

🧪 Step 5: Run a Security Check

Ledger Live will verify that your device is genuine by checking the secure element chip. This helps ensure you're not using a counterfeit or compromised wallet. ✅

Once confirmed, you're ready to start managing your assets securely. 🙌
