Official Site® | Ledgér.com/Start® | Gètting Startèd — Lèdgèr

In the evolving world of cryptocurrency, security and personal ownership are paramount. Lèdgèr® hardware wallets offer one of the most secure and user-controlled ways to manage and store digital assets. If you’re new to Lèdgèr®, getting started through the official Ledgér.com/Start® platform ensures a safe and seamless experience from the very first step.

Whether you’ve chosen the Ledger Nano S Plus or the more advanced Ledger Nano X, the process to initialize and use your device is similar. The goal is to help you take full control of your crypto, with private keys stored securely offline and accessible only by you.

What is a Lèdgèr® Hardware Wallet?

A Lèdgèr® hardware wallet is a compact, USB-compatible device designed to store the private keys for your cryptocurrency in a secure, offline environment. Unlike hot wallets (software wallets connected to the internet), a Lèdgèr® wallet keeps your keys isolated from online threats such as phishing attacks, viruses, and malware.

The physical confirmation required for every transaction ensures that no action can be performed without your approval. It’s a balance of convenience and maximum security.

What's in the Box?

When you unbox your Lèdgèr® device, you’ll find:

  • Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S Plus or Nano X)
  • USB-C cable
  • Welcome sheet
  • Recovery phrase cards
  • Keychain accessories
  • Instructions

Always make sure the packaging is sealed and untampered. This confirms your device is genuine and has not been compromised.

Getting Started: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Visit Ledgér.com/Start®

Before connecting your device, visit the official starting page. This site will walk you through every setup step and help you download the Ledger Live app—the essential companion for managing your crypto portfolio.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It’s the secure interface where you’ll install apps for each supported crypto asset, send and receive funds, check balances, and manage your wallet settings.

Step 3: Set Up as a New Device

Once Ledger Live is installed, select “Set up as new device.” Follow the on-screen instructions and connect your Ledger wallet using the USB cable (or Bluetooth, if using Nano X). The wallet will begin the secure initialization process.

Step 4: Choose and Confirm a PIN

You’ll be prompted to create a PIN code directly on your device. This PIN is used every time you connect your wallet and helps prevent unauthorized access if your device is lost or stolen.

Step 5: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

This is the most critical step. Your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase, which acts as the only backup of your wallet. Write it down on the provided recovery sheet. Never take a photo, store it digitally, or share it with anyone. If your device is lost or damaged, this phrase allows you to recover your crypto on a new Ledger device.

Step 6: Confirm Your Recovery Phrase

To ensure you've written it down correctly, the device will ask you to confirm certain words in the phrase. This double-check process is essential for accurate backup.

Step 7: Install Apps and Add Accounts

Through Ledger Live, install the necessary apps for your desired cryptocurrencies—such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana. Each app allows you to manage a specific coin or token. Then add accounts so you can send, receive, and view balances.

Key Features of Ledger Live + Hardware Wallet

  • Secure transaction signing: All transactions are confirmed on the device.
  • Portfolio tracking: Monitor your crypto value in real time.
  • Multi-asset support: Manage over 5,500 tokens and coins.
  • NFT management: View and send NFTs directly from Ledger Live.
  • Staking: Earn passive income on select assets like ETH or DOT.

Why Ledger Is Trusted Globally

Lèdgèr® is one of the most reputable names in crypto security. With an open-source operating system, rigorous security protocols, and certified secure elements (CC EAL5+), Ledger devices are trusted by millions of users worldwide.

No third-party or Ledger employee can access your funds—only you hold the keys.

Final Tips for Getting Started

  • Always use Ledger Live from the official Ledgér.com/Start® site to avoid scams.
  • Keep your recovery phrase secure, offline, and never shared.
  • Update firmware regularly to maintain security.
  • Be cautious of phishing attacks—Ledger will never ask for your seed phrase.
  • Store your Ledger device safely when not in use.

Conclusion

Setting up your Lèdgèr® hardware wallet through Ledgér.com/Start® is a simple yet powerful first step toward taking ownership of your digital wealth. From offline key storage to secure asset management, Ledger empowers users to move beyond exchanges and custodial wallets.

Once your wallet is activated, you gain true control over your crypto—secure, private, and 100% yours.
