Setup Process

Step 1: Access Ledger.com/start®

Open your browser and type ledger.com/start. Ensure the web address is correct and begins with https://. Avoid clicking suspicious links — always go directly to the official domain.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

If you have a Ledger hardware device, connect it via USB or supported means. The page will recognize your device and prompt you to authorize the connection. Follow on‑screen instructions precisely.

Once apps and accounts are set up, perform a test transaction with a small amount to verify everything is working properly.
