Your official starting point for setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet.
Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page for your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you have purchased a new device or are setting up your wallet for the first time, this portal ensures you follow the secure and verified setup process.
Using the official website protects you from phishing attacks, fake downloads, and malicious software that could compromise your digital assets.
A Ledger device is a hardware wallet designed to store your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike exchange accounts or browser-based wallets, your keys remain inside the device and never leave it. This greatly reduces the risk of hacking and online theft.
Ledger Live is the official application used to manage your Ledger hardware wallet. It allows you to install cryptocurrency apps, send and receive digital assets, track portfolio performance, and update device firmware.
Always download Ledger Live directly from the official website to ensure authenticity.
During setup, your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only way to restore access if your device is lost or damaged.
Starting at the official Ledger.com/start page ensures your wallet is configured following the verified and secure onboarding process. This minimizes risks and guarantees you are using genuine software and firmware.
With proper setup and responsible backup management, your Ledger hardware wallet provides long-term protection and complete control over your cryptocurrency assets.
