Begin Your Secure Crypto Journey at Ledgèr.com/start

Welcome to the starting line of your financial evolution. By acquiring a Ledgèr hardware wallet, you've chosen to take absolute ownership of your cryptocurrencies. This dedicated page, Ledgèr.com/start, is your comprehensive guide to a flawless and secure setup. Our goal is to make the process of initializing your Ledgèr Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledgèr Stax not just simple, but also an educational experience in personal digital security.

Pre-Setup Checklist: Laying the Groundwork

Let's ensure you have everything needed for a successful installation. Please locate your Ledgèr device, the original USB cable, and the pack of recovery sheets from your box. We strongly recommend performing this initial setup on a computer you trust, in a distraction-free environment. This proactive approach minimizes risks and sets the stage for a smooth process.

Step 1: Downloading Your Portfolio Manager – Ledgèr Live

Think of Ledgèr Live as the interactive dashboard for your crypto assets, while your Ledgèr device acts as the secure, offline vault. They work in tandem to give you both control and security.

Acquire the Official Software: Navigate to our official website, Ledgèr.com, to download the Ledgèr Live application for your desktop or mobile device. This is your guarantee against fraudulent software. Avoid third-party download sources.

Install and Launch: Follow the simple installation instructions for your operating system. Once complete, open the Ledgèr Live app. You will be guided through an initial setup wizard.

Step 2: Personalizing Your Physical Security Key

Your Ledgèr device is a tangible representation of your financial sovereignty. Let's activate it.

Power Up: Connect your device to your computer. The "Welcome" screen will appear. Use the side buttons to navigate all menus.

Set a Strong PIN Code: Your device will prompt you to create a PIN. This code is a local defense, preventing physical unauthorized access. Choose a unique combination and confirm it carefully. If you ever enter an incorrect PIN multiple times, the device will reset, protecting your assets.

Step 3: Safeguarding Your Recovery Phrase – The Foundation

This is the cornerstone of your security. Your 24-word recovery phrase is a human-readable representation of your private keys. Anyone with this phrase has complete control over your funds.

Document by Hand: Your device will now generate and display a unique list of 24 words. Write each word clearly and in the correct sequence on your provided recovery sheet. Double-check your spelling.

The Ironclad Security Protocols:

Zero Digital Trace: Under no circumstances should you ever store these words on a phone, computer, or in cloud storage. The risk of remote theft is too great.

Absolute Secrecy: This phrase is for your eyes only. No legitimate support agent will ever request it.

Physical Security: Store your completed sheet in a secure location, such as a safe. Consider a second copy in a separate, secure place as a backup against loss or disaster.

Step 4: Final Integration and Management

With your recovery phrase secured, let's bring everything together.

Authenticate and Connect: Ledgèr Live will guide you through a genuine check to confirm your device is authentic. Then, it will pair with your wallet.

Install Manager Apps: Your Ledgèr device operates on an app-based system. Visit the 'Manager' tab in Ledgèr Live to install the specific applications for the cryptocurrencies you wish to manage (e.g., Bitcoin App, Ethereum App). This does not move your coins; it simply gives your device the ability to manage them.

Start Transacting: Return to the 'Accounts' view and click 'Add Account' for your installed assets. To receive funds, use the 'Receive' feature, which will require you to verify the transaction address directly on your device's screen—a final, critical security measure.

You Have Arrived

You have now successfully completed the Ledgèr.com/start process. Your digital assets are no longer held by third parties but are secured by you, through the most advanced consumer security technology on the market. Welcome to true ownership. Welcome to peace of mind.
