Welcome to Ledger – Start Your Secure Crypto Journey
Ledger.com/start is your official starting point for setting up a Ledger hardware wallet and taking full control of your cryptocurrency. Whether you are new to digital assets or an experienced user, Ledger offers the tools and guidance you need to secure, manage, and grow your crypto safely.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, security is critical. Unlike online wallets or exchanges that remain connected to the internet, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys offline, protecting your assets from hacks and unauthorized access. With Ledger, you remain in full control of your digital wealth.
Easy Setup in a Few Steps
Starting with Ledger is simple. Once you receive your Ledger device, visit ledger.com/start to download the official Ledger Live app for desktop or mobile. Ledger Live guides you step by step through the setup process, from creating a PIN to generating your 24-word recovery phrase.
Your recovery phrase is the only backup for your wallet. Write it down carefully and store it offline in a secure location. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase, and you should never share it with anyone. This phrase ensures that if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore access to your funds securely.
Manage and Protect Your Crypto
Ledger supports thousands of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many popular tokens. With Ledger Live, you can:
Install apps for specific assets
Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely
Track portfolio performance in real time
Stake supported assets safely
Connect securely to Web3 applications
Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger device. This ensures that your crypto cannot be moved without your approval, providing an extra layer of security against malware and online attacks.
True Ownership and Self-Custody
Ledger is designed to give you true ownership of your crypto. Unlike custodial platforms, where third parties hold your keys, Ledger ensures that you are the sole owner of your private keys. This approach, known as self-custody, gives you control over your assets while keeping them safe from external risks.
Security You Can Trust
Ledger devices use a secure element chip and Ledger’s proprietary operating system to protect sensitive information. Regular firmware updates keep your device secure against emerging threats. Ledger also provides educational resources through Ledger Academy to help you understand best practices in crypto security.

Starting at ledger.com/start ensures you are using official software, verified instructions, and trusted security practices. By setting up your Ledger device properly, you establish a solid foundation for safely managing and growing your digital assets.
