How to Set Up Your Ledger Wallet

Step 1: Visit Ledger.com/Start

Open your favorite browser and type https://ledger.com/start directly into the address bar. Bookmark it for quick future access.

Step 2: Select Your Ledger Device

Choose your model — Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax — to get specific setup instructions.

Step 3: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official software to manage your wallet, buy/sell crypto, stake coins, and more. Download the version for your computer or mobile device.

Step 4: Connect Your Ledger Device

Plug your Ledger wallet into your computer or pair it via Bluetooth (for Nano X and Stax). Ledger Live will detect your device and guide you to:

  • Choose a secure PIN
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase carefully
  • Confirm your recovery phrase on the device

Your recovery phrase is the key to your funds — never lose it!

What Is the Recovery Phrase and Why Is It Important?

During setup, Ledger generates a 24-word recovery phrase that backs up your wallet. It’s the most critical piece of information you will get.

  • Write it down on the recovery sheet provided by Ledger
  • Store it somewhere safe and offline — never digitally
  • Do not share it with anyone, not even Ledger support
  • Losing it means losing access to your crypto forever

Treat your recovery phrase like your private vault key.
