Welcome to Ledger.com/Start® — Your Official Setup Guide
Ledger.com/Start® is the trusted destination for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Designed for both new and experienced crypto users, this official guide ensures your digital assets are stored securely and privately from the very beginning.
When you first unbox your Ledger Nano or Ledger Stax device, connecting it to Ledger Live is your next step. The setup process will walk you through firmware installation, wallet initialization, and recovery phrase generation — all secured by cutting-edge encryption and privacy protocols.
At Ledger, security is not an afterthought — it’s the foundation. Each Ledger wallet features a Secure Element chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards. It keeps your private keys completely offline, ensuring that no malware, virus, or phishing attack can compromise your funds.
The process at Ledger.com/Start® is simple: download Ledger Live, connect your device, follow the on-screen prompts, and write down your recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase is the only backup to your crypto wallet — store it securely offline and never share it with anyone.
Once setup is complete, you’ll gain access to Ledger Live — your all-in-one dashboard to buy, send, receive, and manage thousands of cryptocurrencies. From Bitcoin and Ethereum to DeFi tokens and NFTs, Ledger Live helps you track your portfolio in real time while maintaining total control.
Unlike online wallets, your Ledger device gives you true ownership of your crypto. Each transaction must be confirmed on your hardware screen before execution, adding a physical layer of trust and verification. Even if your computer is infected, your funds remain safe on your Ledger wallet.
Beyond storage, Ledger is committed to education. The Ledger Academy offers easy-to-follow lessons on crypto security, blockchain technology, and Web3 opportunities — helping users grow their knowledge and confidence as digital asset holders.
Choosing Ledger means choosing independence. With millions of users globally, Ledger is the world’s leading hardware wallet solution — built on transparency, innovation, and security you can verify. Start now at Ledger.com/Start® and take control of your financial future today.
