Welcome to Ledger – Your Gateway to Secure Digital Asset Ownership

Ledger.com/start is the official and trusted place to begin setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you are purchasing your first cryptocurrency or managing a growing digital portfolio, Ledger provides the tools you need to take control of your assets with confidence and security.

In the world of digital assets, security is essential. Ledger was created to give users full ownership of their crypto by keeping private keys offline and protected. Unlike online wallets or exchanges that can be exposed to hacks, phishing, or third-party risks, Ledger hardware wallets are designed to keep your sensitive information secure at all times.

Why Choose a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

At the core of every Ledger device is a secure element chip, the same type of technology used in credit cards, passports, and secure payment systems. This chip isolates and protects your private keys so they never leave the device or touch the internet. Even if your computer or smartphone is compromised, your crypto remains safe.

Ledger devices require physical confirmation for every transaction. This means that no transfer can happen without your direct approval on the device itself, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Getting Started with Ledger

To begin, unbox your Ledger device and visit ledger.com/start. This page ensures you are using official Ledger software and verified instructions. From here, you can download Ledger Live, the companion app available for desktop and mobile devices.

Ledger Live guides you step by step through the setup process. You will be asked to create a PIN code and generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the most important part of your wallet — it is the only backup to restore your funds if your device is lost, damaged, or replaced.

Write the recovery phrase down carefully on paper and store it in a secure offline location. Never take photos of it, store it digitally, or share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase under any circumstances.

Manage and Grow Your Crypto Securely

Ledger supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other popular digital assets. Through Ledger Live, you can install apps, create accounts, send and receive crypto, and view your balances in real time.

Ledger Live also allows users to explore additional features such as staking supported assets, tracking portfolio performance, and connecting securely to decentralized applications (Web3). All sensitive actions require confirmation on your Ledger device, ensuring your private keys stay protected.

True Ownership and Self-Custody

With Ledger, you remain in full control of your crypto. There are no intermediaries, no custodians, and no hidden access to your funds. Your private keys belong to you alone.

This approach, known as self-custody, gives users greater independence and long-term security. While it also comes with responsibility, Ledger provides tools, education, and guidance to help users follow best practices and protect their digital assets.

Built for Long-Term Security

Ledger devices are built with durability, security, and reliability in mind. Each device runs on Ledger’s proprietary operating system, which isolates applications and protects sensitive data from attacks. Regular firmware updates help ensure continued protection against emerging threats.

Ledger is also committed to transparency and user education. Through the Ledger Academy and official support channels, users can learn about crypto security, recovery phrase management, and safe usage habits.

Your crypto journey begins with a secure foundation. By starting at ledger.com/start, you ensure that your Ledger device is set up correctly using official software and trusted instructions. This step protects you from counterfeit apps, phishing attempts, and unofficial sources.
