Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page designed to help users securely initialize their Ledger hardware wallet, install Ledger Live, and protect crypto assets with industry‑leading security.
Ledger.com/start is the recommended starting point for setting up a Ledger hardware wallet. It ensures device authenticity, guides firmware installation, and walks users through secure wallet creation while keeping private keys offline.
Unlike browser‑based wallets, Ledger uses a secure element chip that isolates cryptographic secrets from internet‑connected environments, dramatically reducing attack surfaces.
A Ledger hardware wallet provides advanced crypto asset security by storing private keys offline and requiring physical confirmation for every sensitive action. This approach protects users from phishing attacks, malware, and unauthorized access.
Millions of users trust Ledger devices for long‑term digital asset protection, making Ledger.com/start the safest place to begin.
The setup process at Ledger.com/start is designed to be simple while maintaining the highest security standards.
Ledger Live is the official companion application installed during setup at Ledger.com/start. It allows users to manage accounts, install apps, send and receive crypto, and verify transactions with hardware‑level confirmation.
During setup, Ledger generates a unique 24‑word recovery phrase. This phrase represents full ownership of your crypto assets and should be stored offline and never shared.
By following the instructions at Ledger.com/start, users maintain complete control over their assets without relying on third parties.
