Welcome to Ledger.com/Start

Your First Step Toward Secure Digital Asset Management

Why Security Matters in the Digital Age

In a world where financial independence meets digital innovation, your cryptocurrencies deserve uncompromising protection. Ledger.com/Start exists to make that protection accessible to everyone—whether you’re storing your first Bitcoin or managing an entire portfolio of DeFi tokens.

Each year, countless online wallets and exchanges experience breaches that cost users their savings. The difference between complete control and devastating loss comes down to one key choice: managing your crypto with self-custody. That’s exactly where Ledger comes in.

The Core of Ledger: Hardware Security Reinvented

Ledger hardware wallets are engineered with certified Secure Element chips—the same technology trusted by banks and passports. This chip keeps your private keys offline, immune to online threats and malware. Your Ledger never exposes these keys, even when connected to your computer or smartphone.

Ledger combines offline security with Ledger Live, a powerful companion app that lets you buy, sell, stake, and monitor crypto assets with confidence. It’s your security vault and your financial dashboard rolled into one sleek, intuitive interface.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Getting started at Ledger.com/Start is intentionally simple. The guided process ensures your wallet is properly initialized without compromising your recovery phrase. Here's how it unfolds:

  1. Visit Ledger.com/Start and connect your brand-new Ledger Nano device.
  2. Download Ledger Live on your computer or smartphone.
  3. Follow the on-screen guide to set a secure PIN code.
  4. Safely write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it offline.
  5. Install crypto apps in Ledger Live to manage supported assets.
  6. Verify addresses directly on your device before sending any transaction.

Once your wallet is live, you control your keys, your crypto, and your future—completely.

Ledger Live: Beyond Basic Management

The Ledger Live app transforms management into an integrated crypto hub. It supports over 5,000 coins and tokens, enabling you to stake, swap, grow, or check your balance in real-time. With DeFi access and NFT visualization, every digital avenue becomes safer and easier.

Real-time analytics and human-readable addresses simplify what used to be complex. Whether you manage family savings or professional investments, Ledger Live empowers you with clarity and control.

Enhanced Safety Features

Security doesn’t end with hardware. Ledger continuously evolves its firmware and verification protocols. Each Ledger device undergoes PIN protection, cryptographic attestation, and secure firmware updates. This multi-layered protection ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your wallet remains isolated and safe.

To secure your experience further, Ledger.com/Start verifies every connection between device and app. Only official firmware is accepted, reducing the risk of counterfeit or tampered products. Always double-check packaging seals and activation prompts before proceeding.

Backing Up and Recovery

Your recovery phrase is the lifeline to your assets. Ledger encourages users to treat it like a vault key—never digitalize it, never photograph it. Options like the Ledger Recovery service, available in select regions, provide secure, encrypted key backups without sharing the full phrase with any one entity.

This redundancy approach offers peace of mind for users managing large holdings while maintaining full ownership and privacy.

Connecting to Web3 with Ledger

Beyond traditional wallets, Ledger provides direct, secure connections to decentralized applications. Through Ledger Live or WalletConnect, users can explore NFT marketplaces, DeFi platforms, and blockchain services safely—signing every transaction within their hardware device instead of a browser extension.

Web3 should empower, not endanger. With Ledger, freedom meets assurance.

Responsible Crypto Ownership

Storing digital currencies isn’t just about security—it’s about responsibility. Ledger teaches users to verify URLs, recognize phishing attempts, and manage their assets independently. By learning these fundamentals, you protect not just your own funds, but the integrity of the broader global crypto ecosystem.
