🛠️ How to Set Up Your Ledger Wallet
Here’s a quick walkthrough of what happens at Ledger.com/start:
1. Choose Your Device
You’ll be asked to select your device (e.g., Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus). The guide will tailor the instructions based on your model.
2. Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official app that allows you to:
Create and manage accounts
View balances and transactions
Send and receive crypto

It’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
3. Initialize Your Device
When you connect your Ledger device:

Using Ledger Live, install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to use (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.). Each app lets your device understand how to manage that coin or token.
6. Start Managing Your Assets

Send crypto securely with on-device confirmation
Track your portfolio performance
Explore DeFi and Web3 apps through Ledger extensions
