Secure Your Crypto Journey from Day One

Ledger.com/start is your official gateway to setting up, securing, and managing your digital assets with confidence. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, this page guides you step by step through the process of initializing your Ledger hardware wallet and protecting what matters most—your private keys.

Why Choose Ledger?

Ledger is trusted by millions of users worldwide for one simple reason: security without compromise. Unlike software wallets, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys offline, keeping them safe from online threats, malware, and phishing attacks.

Key Advantages

Offline key storage using Secure Element technology
Full ownership of your crypto assets
Support for 5,000+ coins and tokens
Regular firmware and security updates
Seamless integration with Ledger Live

Ledger.com/start ensures that your device is set up the right way—directly from the source.

Getting Started with Ledger.com/start

Setting up your Ledger device is simple and intuitive. Follow these steps carefully to ensure maximum security.

Step 1: Unbox and Verify

When you receive your Ledger device, make sure the box is sealed and untampered. Ledger devices never come pre-configured, and no recovery phrase is ever included in the box.

Step 2: Visit Ledger.com/start

Go directly to Ledger.com/start to download Ledger Live, the official companion app. This ensures you are using authentic software and not a counterfeit version.

Step 3: Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is available for:

Windows
macOS
Linux
iOS
Android

Once installed, Ledger Live will guide you through device setup, firmware updates, and account creation.

Setting Up Your Ledger Device

Create a New Wallet

Choose “Set up as new device” to generate your unique private keys. These keys never leave your Ledger device.

Secure Your PIN Code

Select a PIN code directly on the device. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized physical access.

Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the most important part of your wallet setup.

⚠️ Security Reminder:

Write it down on paper
Never store it digitally
Never share it with anyone

This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
