Ledger.com/Start is the official starting point for configuring a Ledger hardware wallet. Begin by downloading the Ledger Wallet app, formerly known as Ledger Live, from Ledger’s official website. Connect your Ledger device and follow the setup instructions.

During initialization, create a PIN and record the 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase displayed by your Ledger device. Keep this phrase completely private and offline. Ledger explains that the recovery phrase is the backup for the wallet’s private keys and should never be entered on a computer or smartphone.

After setup, Ledger Wallet lets you install supported crypto applications, add accounts, view balances, and manage transactions. Always review transaction details on your Ledger device before confirming.

For safer wallet management, download Ledger software only from official sources and never share your PIN or Secret Recovery Phrase. Following the official Ledger.com/Start process helps you begin managing your digital assets with proper security practices.
