One of the most trusted names in this space is Ledger®.

This guide, presented by LedgerOwO Support, walks you through everything you need to know about Ledger.com/Start®, the official onboarding platform for Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crypto user, this comprehensive guide will help you safely set up, manage, and protect your digital assets.

What Is Ledger.com/Start®?

Ledger.com/Start® is the official setup portal provided by Ledger. It acts as the starting point for configuring your Ledger hardware wallet, installing Ledger Live, and learning essential security practices.

When you purchase a Ledger device such as:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus
  • Ledger Nano X

You are instructed to visit Ledger.com/Start® to ensure you are downloading authentic software and following secure setup procedures.

⚠️ Using unofficial sources may expose you to counterfeit software or phishing risks.

Why Choose a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

Ledger wallets are designed to keep your private keys offline, away from hackers and malware. Unlike hot wallets or exchanges, Ledger devices give you full control and ownership of your crypto.

Key Advantages of Ledger Wallets

  • 🔐 Industry-leading security with Secure Element chips
  • 🌐 Support for 5,000+ cryptocurrencies and tokens
  • 🧠 Offline key storage (cold storage)
  • 📱 Mobile and desktop compatibility
  • 🛡 Protection against phishing and malware

LedgerOwO Support strongly recommends hardware wallets for long-term holders and users handling significant digital assets.

Getting Started with Ledger.com/Start®

Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Ledger Device

Before setup:

  • Ensure the package is sealed
  • Ledger devices never come pre-configured
  • No PIN or recovery phrase should be included in the box

If anything looks suspicious, stop immediately and contact LedgerOwO Support.

Step 2: Visit Ledger.com/Start®

Open a secure browser and navigate to:

Ledger.com/Start®

From here, you can:

  • Choose your Ledger device model
  • Download the official Ledger Live app
  • Follow guided setup instructions

Step 3: Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app used to:

  • Manage crypto accounts
  • Install apps on your Ledger device
  • Send and receive assets
  • Track your portfolio in real time

Ledger Live is available for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • Android
  • iOS

Always download Ledger Live only through Ledger.com/Start®.

Step 4: Set Up Your Ledger Device

Once Ledger Live is installed:

  1. Connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth
  2. Choose “Set up as new device”
  3. Create a secure PIN code
  4. Generate your 24-word recovery phrase

📝 Important:
Write the recovery phrase on paper and store it offline. Never:

  • Take photos
  • Store it digitally
  • Share it with anyone

LedgerOwO Support emphasizes: Your recovery phrase is your wallet.

Understanding the Recovery Phrase

The 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. If your device is lost, damaged, or stolen, this phrase allows you to restore access to your funds on a new Ledger device.

If someone gains access to your recovery phrase, they can steal your assets — even without the device.

Adding Cryptocurrency Accounts

After setup:

  • Open Ledger Live
  • Install the required crypto apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
  • Add accounts linked to each app

Ledger supports thousands of assets, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Polygon (MATIC)
  • XRP, ADA, DOT, and more

LedgerOwO Support recommends installing only the apps you actively use to optimize device storage.

Sending and Receiving Crypto Safely

Receiving Crypto

  1. Select the account in Ledger Live
  2. Click “Receive”
  3. Verify the address on the device screen
  4. Share the verified address

Sending Crypto

  1. Click “Send”
  2. Enter recipient address and amount
  3. Confirm transaction details on the Ledger device

✔ Always verify transaction details on the physical device screen, not just the computer.

Keeping Your Ledger Secure

LedgerOwO Support recommends the following best practices:

  • Never share your recovery phrase
  • Beware of fake Ledger emails or pop-ups
  • Bookmark Ledger.com/Start®
  • Keep Ledger Live updated
  • Use a strong PIN and keep it private

Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Ledger Live Updates and Maintenance

Ledger Live frequently releases updates that:

  • Improve security
  • Add new coin support
  • Fix bugs and performance issues

Check for updates regularly within the app or through Ledger.com/Start®.
