Start Your Secure Crypto Journey with Ledger
Welcome to Ledger.com/start—where your digital assets are protected by design. By choosing a Ledger hardware wallet, you’ve taken a powerful step toward true ownership of your crypto. Ledger gives you the tools to manage, grow, and secure your assets while keeping full control in your hands.
Crypto is about freedom, and security is what makes that freedom possible.
Why Start with Ledger?
Unlike exchanges or software wallets, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys offline. This means they’re isolated from online threats such as hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. Your keys never leave your device, and every transaction must be physically approved by you.
With Ledger, you don’t rely on third parties. You are the owner, custodian, and final authority over your digital assets.
Set Up Your Ledger Device
To begin, make sure you’re on the official setup page at ledger.com/start. This ensures you download authentic software and follow trusted instructions.
Step 1: Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official app that connects to your Ledger device. It allows you to manage your portfolio, send and receive crypto, install apps, and access Web3 services securely.
Step 2: Initialize Your Device
Turn on your Ledger device and follow the on-screen instructions to create a PIN code. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized access if the device is ever lost or stolen.
Step 3: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase
During setup, your Ledger will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your wallet. Write it down carefully and store it offline in a secure location. Anyone with this phrase can access your funds—keep it private and safe.
Powerful Security, Simple Experience
Ledger devices are built with Secure Element chips, the same technology used in passports and payment cards. This hardware-level protection ensures your private keys stay safe even if your computer or smartphone is compromised.
Ledger supports thousands of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and NFTs. Through Ledger Live, you can stake assets, explore decentralized applications, and track your portfolio—all without sacrificing security.
Important Safety Reminders
- Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.
- Never enter your recovery phrase on any website or app.
- Only use official Ledger software and websites.
- Always verify transaction details on your device screen.
Staying informed and cautious is part of protecting your digital assets.
