Ledger.com/Start® | Getting started with Ledger Wallet

Ledger.com/Start is the official and secure starting point for setting up a Ledger hardware wallet. It is designed to guide users through the correct installation and configuration process, ensuring maximum protection for cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, this page helps you get your Ledger device ready safely and efficiently.

To begin, users should visit Ledger.com/Start from a trusted browser and follow the on-screen instructions. The first step is downloading Ledger Live, the official application available for desktop and mobile devices. Ledger Live acts as the control center for your hardware wallet, allowing you to install coin apps, create accounts, send and receive assets, and monitor portfolio performance.

After installing Ledger Live, users connect their Ledger device and choose to either create a new wallet or restore an existing one. During the setup process, the device generates a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is critical for account recovery and must be written down and stored offline. Ledger strongly advises never sharing this recovery phrase or entering it on any website, as doing so could compromise your assets.

Ledger.com/Start also includes important security checks, such as verifying the authenticity of your Ledger device and updating firmware when required. These steps help protect users from counterfeit devices, phishing attempts, and other common threats in the crypto space.

Once setup is complete, users can manage a wide range of supported cryptocurrencies through Ledger Live, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other popular assets. The combination of offline key storage and an easy-to-use interface makes Ledger a trusted choice for long-term asset security.
