Quick overview
Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding portal where users download Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live) and follow step-by-step instructions to initialise Ledger hardware wallets (Nano X, Nano S Plus, Stax and others).
Download Ledger Wallet
Start at ledger.com/start and pick your platform (desktop or mobile). This ensures you get the official app and avoid phishing sites.
Initialize your device
Connect your Ledger device and follow the on-screen steps: choose a PIN and write down your recovery phrase. Ledger never stores your recovery phrase online.
Install apps & manage assets
Install crypto apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) through the Ledger Wallet app and add accounts to start sending & receiving funds.
This is the official recommended place to get the Ledger Wallet app. Downloading from the official site reduces the risk of fake or malicious software.
A secret set of words (usually 24) that is the only backup for your wallet. Keep it offline and private—never give it to anyone.
