Why Use Ledger Hardware Wallets?

Hardware wallets are the gold standard for crypto security. Ledger’s devices store your private keys offline, meaning hackers and online attackers can’t access your assets remotely.

  • Maximum security: Private keys never leave your device.
  • User-friendly interface: Easy setup and management.
  • Wide compatibility: Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 5,500 other cryptocurrencies.
  • Regular firmware updates: Stay protected against emerging threats.

When you start at Ledger.com/Start, you’re choosing security without compromise.

Steps to Get Started on Ledger.com/Start

Here’s a simple guide to help you set up your Ledger device through Ledger.com/Start:

1. Access the Setup Website

Visit Ledger.com/Start on your PC or smartphone. This is the only legitimate source for Ledger device setup and software downloads.

2. Download Ledger Live App

Click the download button to install Ledger Live — the official Ledger app. It’s available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Ledger Live allows you to:

  • Manage multiple crypto accounts
  • Check live portfolio values
  • Send, receive, and swap crypto assets
  • Install apps on your Ledger hardware wallet

3. Connect and Initialize Your Device

Plug your Ledger hardware wallet into your computer or connect via Bluetooth (Nano X and Stax). Ledger.com/Start will guide you to:

  • Set up a secure PIN code
  • Generate your unique 24-word recovery phrase (this is critical — write it down carefully and keep it offline)
  • Verify your recovery phrase to confirm

This process ensures your device is securely paired with your app and ready for use.

4. Add Crypto Accounts

Once set up, open Ledger Live and add the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Ledger supports hundreds of coins and tokens, letting you control everything from Bitcoin to popular altcoins, all under one roof.

Tips for a Secure Ledger Experience

  • Only use Ledger.com/Start for downloads and updates.
  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone.
  • Store your recovery phrase safely — preferably offline.
  • Beware of phishing attempts via email or fake sites.

Ledger’s hardware wallets offer unmatched security, but your careful handling of recovery data is key.

Expand Your Crypto Possibilities

Beyond basic security, Ledger Live integrated with your hardware wallet lets you:

  • Buy crypto with trusted partners
  • Swap assets directly in the app
  • Track NFT collections securely
  • Explore decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities

All transactions happen with your private keys securely stored on your device.
