Official Setup Guide & Onboarding
Welcome to the essential setup gateway for your new hardware wallet. Initializing through ledger.com/start protects your digital wealth with industry-leading cold storage protection. Follow this verified guide to configure your device, generate your private recovery phrase, and download Ledger Live.
01
Inspect packaging carefully before opening. A genuine cold storage wallet never arrives with pre-written PINs or existing seed phrases. Your device automatically verifies genuine cryptographic integrity via the Certified Secure Element chip directly upon connecting.
02
Always navigate to the authenticated ledger.com/start page to download the companion Ledger Live client for desktop or mobile. Avoid unverified third-party app stores. The official application synchronizes balances securely without revealing private keys.
03
Configure your 4 to 8 digit PIN code directly on the physical hardware. Write down your 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase on the provided sheet. Keep it completely offline—never take digital photos or enter words onto computer keyboards or cloud backups.
Securing crypto assets begins with safe initialization protocols. When configuring modern hardware devices like the Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax, verifying your starting point eliminates spoofing risks. Navigating directly to ledger.com/start ensures access to cryptographically validated firmware updates and certified Ledger Live downloads. The proprietary operating system, BOLOS, establishes an isolated computing environment that prevents malicious code execution while managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of alternative tokens.
Hardware-grade self-custody shifts ultimate control to you. Your 24-word recovery phrase serves as a universal master key conforming to BIP-39 cryptographic standards. If your physical hardware wallet is misplaced, stolen, or damaged, these 24 words restore full account balances on any compatible hardware device. Remember that official Ledger support staff will never request your PIN, password, or recovery phrase under any circumstance. Complete your initial synchronization today and explore Web3 with full peace of mind.
