When you purchase a Ledger® Nano S Plus or Nano X, you’re not just buying hardware—you’re investing in a complete security ecosystem. The /start page is designed to ensure a seamless, foolproof initialization process. Never use unofficial sources or links from third parties to set up your device. Going directly to Ledger.com/start guarantees you’re accessing the genuine Ledger® Live software and firmware, protecting you from phishing scams.

Your Setup Journey:

  • Genuine Software Assurance®: Download Ledger Live, the official companion app, securely from this verified page.
  • Step-by-Step Visual Guide: From unboxing to creating your PIN, the process is broken down into simple, secure steps.
  • Your Recovery Phrase – The Golden Key™: This is the most critical step. You’ll generate a 24-word recovery phrase—a unique master key to your crypto. Never, ever digitize it. Write it on your included backup sheet and store it physically, offline.
