Welcome to Ledger.com/Start – your official guide to setting up your Ledger device. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X or a Ledger Nano S Plus, this step-by-step guide will ensure your cryptocurrency assets are secured using the latest technologies like Secure Element and BOLOS.
Before using your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, carefully unbox the device and ensure all components are present. Your Ledger device comes with essential accessories and instructions to help you start securely.
The first step in using your Ledger device is installing Ledger Live, the official app for managing cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live allows you to check your balances, receive and send crypto, and manage firmware updates easily. It’s compatible with both desktop and mobile devices.
Connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone. For Ledger Nano X users, Bluetooth Connectivity allows wireless setup. The Ledger Nano S Plus requires a USB connection. Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device securely.
During setup, you will generate a 24-word Recovery Phrase. This phrase is critical for restoring access to your assets if your device is lost or damaged. Always store it offline and never share it with anyone.
Your Ledger device runs on BOLOS (Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System) and is protected by a Secure Element. These technologies ensure that your private keys never leave the device, keeping your crypto safe from hacking attempts.
Ledger devices provide Multi-Currency Support, allowing you to store and manage hundreds of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. Using Ledger Live, you can easily add accounts for different cryptocurrencies.
Ledger integrates with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and supports NFT Support. With Ledger, you can securely access DeFi apps, stake crypto, or manage NFTs directly from your device, all while your private keys remain safe.
To keep your device secure and compatible with the latest features, always install Firmware Updates. Ledger Live will notify you of available updates, which enhance security and add support for new cryptocurrencies.
Ledger offers Ledger Recover to help you safely recover your assets if you ever lose your device. This service provides additional peace of mind for long-term crypto management.
Starting your Ledger device correctly ensures maximum security for your digital assets. By following this guide on Ledger.com/Start, you’ll be ready to securely manage cryptocurrencies with confidence using your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus.
