Setting up your Ledger device has never been easier. With Ledger.com/start, you can securely configure your Ledger Wallet, whether it is a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to ensure your cryptocurrency is protected.
Carefully unbox your Ledger device from its packaging. Ensure all components are present including the Ledger device, USB cable, recovery sheet, and instruction booklet.
Use the USB cable to connect your Ledger device to your computer. Visit Ledger.com/start to download the Ledger Live application for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Open Ledger Live and select “Initialize as new device”. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a secure PIN code. Remember, never share this PIN with anyone.
Ledger devices provide a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down carefully on the recovery sheet and store it securely offline. This is critical for recovering your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
Within Ledger Live, navigate to the Manager section to install cryptocurrency apps such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or others depending on your portfolio. Each app corresponds to a different cryptocurrency.
Use Ledger Live to generate wallet addresses for receiving cryptocurrency. Always double-check addresses to prevent mistakes. Sending crypto is equally secure through the Ledger Live interface.
Keep your Ledger device updated with the latest firmware through Ledger Live to ensure maximum security and feature support. Never update from unofficial sources.
Following these steps ensures your Ledger device setup via Ledger.com/start is secure, smooth, and ready to protect your digital assets.
