Welcome to Ledger.com/start — the official setup page to help you begin your crypto journey safely with your Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger provides industry-leading security to protect your digital assets by keeping your private keys offline. This guide walks you through every step — from initializing your device to managing your coins securely in Ledger Live.

To get started, unpack your Ledger device and connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit Ledger.com/start to download and install Ledger Live, the official app that connects your device with your crypto accounts. During setup, you’ll create a PIN code and receive your 24-word recovery phrase — the most important backup of your wallet. Write it down carefully and store it offline in a safe place, as it is your only access to your funds if the device is lost or reset.

Once the setup is complete, use Ledger Live to buy, exchange, and stake your cryptocurrencies. Ledger supports over 5,500 coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Every transaction is verified directly on your device’s secure screen, ensuring complete transparency and peace of mind. Regularly check for firmware updates in Ledger Live to keep your device protected with the latest security improvements.

Your Ledger wallet gives you full ownership and control of your crypto. Unlike exchanges or software wallets, your private keys never leave your device. This means hackers and malware cannot access your funds. By following these steps, you can confidently manage, store, and grow your digital assets without compromise. Ledger is your bridge to true financial independence — simple, secure, and built for the future of crypto.
