Welcome to Ledger.com/Start

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start, your official starting point for safely setting up your hardware wallet and taking control of your crypto journey. If you’ve just received your Ledger device, this page is designed to guide you step-by-step — from installation to activation — ensuring your digital assets are protected from the moment you begin.

At Ledger.com/Start you will download the companion application called Ledger Live, available for desktop and mobile. Once installed, you’ll connect your device, create a secure PIN, set up or recover your wallet, and begin managing assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and more. This process puts you in full control — no third party holds your keys.

The setup starts by ensuring your device is genuine and untampered. Ledger’s secure hardware checks are built into the workflow, and by following the portal instructions you confirm authenticity, update firmware, and activate your device. From there, Ledger Live allows you to add accounts, install apps for various blockchains, view your portfolio, and execute transactions — all while your private keys remain offline.

Security remains the cornerstone of Ledger’s design. The recovery phrase you create is your only backup — store it safely offline, and never share it. Transactions must be confirmed directly on the hardware device, offering protection against phishing or compromised computers. Ledger.com/Start ensures that beginners and advanced users alike follow best practices from day one.

Once your wallet is live, you can explore features built into Ledger Live: buy/sell crypto through integrated partners, swap assets, stake supported coins for yield, and monitor performance in real time. The portal underlines that although utilities are convenient, the ownership of your keys and assets remains entirely with you. This empowered model is what sets Ledger apart.

In short: visiting Ledger.com/Start and following the official instructions is your safest path into self-custody of digital currency. Whether you’re just beginning or wanting to upgrade your setup, this page ensures you start securely, confidently, and with full control of your crypto future.
