Your complete guide to securing, managing, and growing your digital assets with Ledger

Introduction to Ledger Wallet

Ledger Wallet is a trusted hardware wallet solution designed to provide maximum security for cryptocurrencies and digital assets. As blockchain adoption continues to grow, the need for safe and user-controlled storage has become more important than ever. Ledger devices allow users to store private keys offline, protecting them from online threats such as malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.

When you visit Ledger.com/Start®, you are guided through an official onboarding process that helps you set up your Ledger device safely and correctly. This page is the recommended starting point for both new and experienced users who want to ensure their wallet is configured using verified steps and official software.

Why Choose Ledger for Crypto Security?

Ledger has built its reputation on strong security principles and user ownership. Unlike software wallets that store keys on internet-connected devices, Ledger hardware wallets keep your private keys inside a secure chip. This architecture ensures that your sensitive data never leaves the device.

Getting Started with Ledger.com/Start®

The Ledger.com/Start® page is designed to make the setup process simple and secure. By following the official steps, users can avoid common mistakes and ensure their wallet is initialized properly. This includes installing Ledger Live, setting up a PIN code, and securely backing up the recovery phrase.

Step 1: Choose and Connect Your Ledger Device

Ledger offers multiple hardware wallet models such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. After selecting your device, connect it to your computer or mobile phone using the provided cable or Bluetooth (for supported models). Always ensure you are using an official Ledger device purchased from a trusted source.

Step 2: Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app that allows you to manage your crypto assets, install apps, and monitor your portfolio. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Installing Ledger Live from the official website ensures you receive authentic and secure software.

Step 3: Initialize Your Wallet

During initialization, your Ledger device will generate a unique recovery phrase, typically consisting of 24 words. This phrase is the master key to your wallet and must be written down and stored securely offline. Never share this phrase with anyone, and never store it digitally.

Security Tip: Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase online or through email. Any request for it is a scam.

Managing Crypto Assets with Ledger Live

Ledger Live provides a unified dashboard where users can manage multiple cryptocurrencies in one place. From sending and receiving funds to staking supported assets, Ledger Live simplifies the entire crypto management experience.

Users can install specific apps for each blockchain, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, directly onto their Ledger device. This modular approach allows flexibility while maintaining strong security standards.

Advanced Features and Benefits

Beyond basic storage, Ledger wallets offer advanced features for users who want more control and functionality. These include integration with third-party wallets, DeFi access, and NFT management, all while keeping private keys secure.
