Below is a full guide to help you through the setup process using Ledger.com/start.

✅ Step-by-Step Guide to Start with Ledger

1. Visit the Official Setup Page

Go to https://www.ledger.com/start

⚠️ Always double-check the URL to ensure you're not on a phishing site. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase online.

2. Select Your Device

Choose your Ledger model:

• Ledger Nano X
• Ledger Nano S Plus
• Ledger Stax

Each model has slightly different features, but the setup process is similar.

3. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official app to manage your crypto assets and interact with your hardware wallet.

• Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile (iOS & Android)
• Download it directly from ledger.com/start to avoid fake apps

2. Follow the device instructions to:

   • Generate your 24-word recovery phrase
   • Write down the recovery phrase carefully on the provided recovery sheet

⚠️ Do not take photos or store your recovery phrase digitally. Anyone with this phrase can access your crypto.

• Once confirmed, your wallet will be initialized and ready to use.
