Your Secure Gateway to Managing Digital Assets

Welcome to ledger.com/start, the official starting point for setting up and managing your Ledger hardware wallet. This page is designed to guide you step by step through securing your digital assets with industry‑leading hardware security. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, Ledger provides the tools, technology, and peace of mind you need to take full control of your crypto journey.

At Ledger, security comes first. With millions of users worldwide and years of trusted innovation, Ledger hardware wallets are built to protect your private keys offline, keeping them safe from online threats, malware, and unauthorized access.

Why Choose Ledger?

Digital assets deserve the highest level of protection. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys in a certified Secure Element chip, similar to those used in passports and banking cards. This means your keys never leave the device, even when connected to your computer or smartphone.

Key benefits of Ledger wallets include:

• Offline storage of private keys for maximum security
• Protection against hacking, phishing, and malware attacks
• Support for thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens
• Simple setup and intuitive user experience
• Trusted by millions of users worldwide

With Ledger, you are not just buying a device. You are investing in long‑term security and true ownership of your digital assets.

Get Started in a Few Simple Steps

Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward. Follow these steps to begin:

1. Choose Your Ledger Device

Ledger offers multiple hardware wallets designed to suit different needs. Whether you select Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X, each device delivers top‑tier security with unique features tailored to your lifestyle.

2. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app that allows you to manage your crypto assets securely. Download Ledger Live only from ledger.com/start to ensure authenticity and avoid counterfeit software.

Ledger Live enables you to:

• Set up and initialize your Ledger device
• Install and manage crypto apps
• Send, receive, buy, sell, and swap crypto assets
• Track your portfolio in real time

3. Initialize Your Device

Once you connect your Ledger device, you will be guided through the setup process. This includes choosing a PIN code and generating a 24‑word recovery phrase.

Your recovery phrase is the most important element of your wallet security. Write it down carefully and store it offline in a secure location. Never share it with anyone and never store it digitally.

4. Add Crypto Accounts

After setup, you can install cryptocurrency apps directly on your Ledger device using Ledger Live. Add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other supported assets.

You are now ready to securely manage your crypto with full ownership and control.

Understanding Your Recovery Phrase

Your 24‑word recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, this phrase allows you to restore access to your funds on a new Ledger device.

Important security reminders:

• Never share your recovery phrase with anyone
• Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase
• Do not take photos or store it online
• Keep it in a secure, offline location

Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can control your assets. Protect it as you would protect cash, legal documents, or valuables.

Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto Securely

With Ledger Live, you can go beyond storage. Ledger integrates with trusted partners to allow you to buy, sell, swap, and stake crypto assets directly within the app, all while maintaining the security of your hardware wallet.

You stay in control at every step. Transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, ensuring that no unauthorized action can occur without your approval.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Ledger hardware wallets support thousands of cryptocurrencies, including but not limited to:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Ripple (XRP)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Polygon (MATIC)
• Solana (SOL)
• Thousands of ERC‑20 and other tokens

Support continues to grow as the crypto ecosystem evolves.

Stay Safe from Scams and Phishing

Security is a shared responsibility. Always make sure you are on the official ledger.com/start website when setting up your device. Be cautious of emails, messages, or websites claiming to be Ledger that ask for your recovery phrase.

Ledger will never contact you to request sensitive information. If you encounter suspicious activity, refer to the official Ledger support resources directly from the website.
