Ledger.com/start — Secure Your Crypto Journey from Day One

Welcome to Ledger.com/start, the official starting point for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet and taking full control of your digital assets. Whether you’re new to crypto or a seasoned investor, Ledger is designed to help you protect, manage, and grow your crypto securely—without compromising on ease of use.

Why Start with Ledger?

Cryptocurrency gives you financial freedom, but that freedom comes with responsibility. Unlike traditional banking, you are in charge of your private keys—the secret codes that prove ownership of your crypto. Ledger hardware wallets are built to keep those keys offline and protected from online threats such as hacking, phishing, and malware.

By starting at Ledger.com/start, you ensure that your device is set up correctly, securely, and using official Ledger software. This is the safest way to begin using your Ledger wallet.

Step-by-Step Setup Made Easy

  2. Set Up Your Device
    Turn on your Ledger device and follow the on-screen instructions to create a PIN code. This PIN helps protect your wallet if the device is ever lost or stolen.
  3. Write Down Your Recovery Phrase
    Your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This is the most important step. Write the words down exactly as shown and store them offline in a secure place. Never share this phrase with anyone—Ledger will never ask for it.
  4. Verify and Secure
    The setup process includes a verification step to ensure your recovery phrase was written down correctly. This confirms that you can recover your assets if needed.

Security You Can Trust

Ledger’s security model is built around a certified Secure Element chip, similar to the technology used in passports and credit cards. Your private keys never leave the device, even when connected to the internet. This means transactions must be physically approved on your Ledger device—adding a powerful layer of protection.

Starting at Ledger.com/start ensures you receive genuine security checks and guidance, helping you avoid counterfeit devices and scam software.
