Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or upgrading your security, Ledger.com/Start® ensures a safe and confident start.

Why Start at Ledger.com/Start®?

The initial setup of a hardware wallet is critical. Using unofficial apps or untrusted instructions can expose your assets to serious risk. Ledger.com/Start® directs users only to Ledger Live, the official Ledger application, and guides them through each step using best security practices.

By starting at Ledger.com/Start®, you can be sure that:

Your Ledger device is genuine

Official firmware is installed

Your recovery phrase is generated securely

Your assets remain under your full control

Unboxing and Device Verification

When you receive your Ledger wallet, Ledger.com/Start® recommends checking the packaging carefully. Ledger devices are shipped without a pre-generated recovery phrase, and no recovery words should ever be included in the box. This helps users identify tampered or counterfeit devices.

Once verified, connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile phone using the provided cable. The official start page then guides you to the correct software for the next steps.

Installing Ledger Live

Ledger.com/Start® directs you to download Ledger Live, the official app for managing Ledger wallets. Ledger Live is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, allowing you to manage your crypto across multiple devices.

Ledger Live enables you to set up your device, install cryptocurrency apps, send and receive assets, track your portfolio, and manage firmware updates—all from one secure interface.

Setting Up Your Ledger Device

During setup, Ledger Live helps you initialize your device as new or restore an existing wallet.

New Device Setup:

Your Ledger wallet generates a 24-word recovery phrase on the device screen. This phrase is the only backup to your funds and must be written down and stored securely offline. Ledger never stores this phrase or displays it on your computer.

Wallet Recovery:

If you already have a recovery phrase, Ledger.com/Start® guides you through restoring your wallet safely using the Ledger device.

You will also create a PIN code to protect against unauthorized physical access.

Managing Crypto Securely

After setup, Ledger Live allows you to manage thousands of supported cryptocurrencies. All transactions must be verified and approved on the Ledger device screen, protecting you from malware and unauthorized activity.

Ongoing Support and Updates

Ledger.com/Start® connects users to Ledger Support resources, including guides, updates, and security tips. Regular firmware and app updates help keep your wallet protected as the crypto ecosystem evolves.
