🔐 What is Ledger.com/Start?

Ledger.com/Start is the official onboarding portal for all hardware wallets from Ledger — including models like Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or Ledger Stax
It’s the only safe and verified starting point for downloading official software, initializing your hardware wallet, and minimizing all kinds of risks — from fake apps to seed‑phrase leaks.

✅ What Makes It Essential?

  1. Official Software Downloads — On this page, you get legitimate links to download the official companion app, Ledger Live, compatible with desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android).
  2. Secure, Guided Setup — Ledger.com/Start walks you through unboxing, connecting the device, initializing it, and generating your recovery phrase — all under trusted instructions.
  3. Phishing Protection — Because scam sites often mimic the real Ledger domain, visiting Ledger.com/Start directly (not via search results or ads) reduces the risk of fake wallets or stolen seed phrases.
  • You select your exact device model (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax, etc.).
  • Download and install Ledger Live from trusted source.
  • Unbox and connect your Ledger wallet (via USB, or Bluetooth if supported — e.g. Nano X).
  • Initialize the wallet: set up a PIN code and generate a 24‑word recovery phrase.
  • Verify and complete setup: Ledger Live will walk you through verifying the device, installing necessary blockchain apps, and setting up accounts.

🎯 Why This Matters for Crypto Security

Using Ledger.com/Start ensures that private keys never leave the hardware wallet. The hardware wallet keeps keys offline even when transactions or signing occur — only when you connect the device does it interact with your computer, but your sensitive info stays on the device.
This drastically reduces the risk of hacks, phishing, or malware attacks compared to storing keys on an internet‑connected device or exchange.

💡 Final Take

If you’ve bought a Ledger wallet (or plan to), always begin your journey at Ledger.com/Start. It’s not just a convenience — it’s a foundational security step. By using this portal, downloading official software, and following Ledger’s recommended setup flow, you maximize control over your crypto and minimize risk. For anyone serious about self‑custody and long‑term crypto security: start at Ledger.com/Start.
