Getting Started with Ledger
Welcome to the official Ledger.com/Start page, your gateway to securing and managing your cryptocurrency with confidence. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, this step-by-step guide helps you set up your Ledger device and begin managing digital assets safely. Ledger is the global leader in digital asset security, ensuring that your private keys remain offline and protected.
To begin, unbox your Ledger device and make sure the packaging is intact to verify authenticity. Visit Ledger.com/Start directly in your browser to avoid fake sites or phishing attempts. Download the official Ledger Live app, available for desktop and mobile, to connect your device securely.
Once installed, open Ledger Live and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You’ll be guided through creating a PIN code and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your only backup in case of loss or theft — never share it or store it digitally. Keep it safe, offline, and away from prying eyes.
Next, pair your Ledger device with Ledger Live and verify your connection. You can now add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies supported by Ledger. With Ledger Live, you can check balances, receive or send crypto, and even explore staking or DeFi features safely through trusted integrations.
Security is at the heart of every Ledger product. The device uses a certified Secure Element chip — the same technology trusted in passports and payment systems. Combined with Ledger Live, your private keys never leave your hardware wallet, ensuring complete control over your assets at all times.
For ongoing protection, always keep your firmware and Ledger Live updated. Ledger continuously improves its security features, supporting more coins and adding advanced tools for crypto management. The support section at Ledger.com provides FAQs, video tutorials, and troubleshooting assistance for every step.
Remember, Ledger.com/Start is the only official site for setup. Bookmark it and never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone. Stay alert, secure, and empowered as you explore the digital asset world with Ledger — your trusted companion for crypto security.
Now that your Ledger is set up, you’re ready to take control of your financial future. Secure. Simple. Smart. Start today with Ledger.
