Official Site® | Ledger.com/Start® | Getting™ Starting

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital age, cryptocurrency has transformed the way people invest, transact, and store value. While the potential of digital assets is vast, so are the risks—especially when it comes to security. This is where Ledger.com/Start® becomes essential. It is the official platform that guides users through setting up their Ledger® hardware wallet and taking the first step into safe self-custody of crypto assets.

“Getting™ Starting” with Ledger.com/Start is more than just unboxing a device—it’s about protecting your assets, verifying your identity as the sole owner, and taking full control over your financial future. Whether you're new to crypto or switching from an exchange, this setup process is your gateway to ownership, privacy, and peace of mind.

What Is Ledger.com/Start?

Ledger.com/Start® is the official onboarding portal for all Ledger® hardware wallets. It serves as the secure entry point for users to initialize their wallet, generate their 24-word recovery phrase, and connect to Ledger Live®, the official application used to manage and protect your crypto portfolio.

This platform is specifically designed to:

  • Help you verify the authenticity of your Ledger device
  • Guide you through creating a secure PIN code
  • Ensure proper backup of your recovery phrase

Why Use Ledger.com/Start?

✅ It’s the Official Source

✅ User-Centered Design

The setup flow is intuitive and beginner-friendly. Even if you’ve never used a hardware wallet before, the platform walks you through every step in a clear and guided way.

✅ Maximum Security

By setting up through Ledger.com/Start, you’re confirming that your device is genuine and that no one else has access to your private keys or recovery phrase. You alone control your assets.

How to Get Started with Ledger

Step 1: Unbox Your Device

Make sure the box is sealed and that the Ledger device hasn’t been tampered with. A genuine device comes without any pre-installed recovery phrase. If anything seems suspicious, stop and contact support.

Step 2: Connect the Device

Use the provided USB cable (or Bluetooth with the Nano X) to connect your hardware wallet to your computer or smartphone. Power on the device and follow the instructions to initialize it.

Step 3: Choose a Secure PIN

Set up a PIN code that prevents unauthorized access. Do not share this PIN with anyone. It serves as the first line of defense if someone tries to use your device.

Step 4: Write Down Your 24-Word Recovery Phrase

This is the most important step. Your device will generate a unique 24-word phrase—this is your only backup if the device is lost or damaged. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided and store it safely offline. Never take a photo or store it digitally.

Step 5: Install Ledger Live

Once setup is complete, you’ll be prompted to install Ledger Live, the official desktop or mobile app. This application lets you manage your accounts, install blockchain apps, send and receive crypto, stake assets, and more.

What You Can Do After Setup

Once your wallet is fully configured through Ledger.com/Start, you gain access to a powerful suite of features:

  • Manage crypto assets across multiple blockchains
  • Buy, sell, or swap tokens through verified partners
  • Stake supported cryptocurrencies to earn rewards
  • Securely manage NFTs on Ethereum and other chains
  • Track your portfolio in real-time
  • Approve every transaction directly on your Ledger device

Ledger Live works together with your hardware wallet to ensure private keys never leave the device, giving you ultimate control over your digital assets.

Staying Safe: Best Practices

  • Use only the official setup process at Ledger.com/Start
  • Never share your recovery phrase or PIN
  • Avoid entering recovery phrases online or on a computer
  • Keep your device firmware up to date using Ledger Live
  • Double-check transaction details on the device screen before confirming

Following these practices ensures long-term safety and protects you from scams, phishing attacks, and user error.
