Welcome to Ledger – Secure Your Digital Assets

Ledger.com/start is the official beginning of your journey toward secure crypto ownership. Whether you are new to digital assets or an experienced user, Ledger provides industry-leading hardware wallets designed to keep your private keys safe, offline, and fully under your control.

When you own crypto, security matters. Unlike software wallets or exchanges that remain connected to the internet, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys in a secure element chip — the same type of technology used in passports and banking cards. This means your assets are protected even if your computer or phone is compromised.

Get Started in a Few Simple Steps

Starting with Ledger is quick and easy. Once you unbox your Ledger device, visit ledger.com/start to download Ledger Live, the official companion app for desktop and mobile. Ledger Live allows you to set up your device, install apps, manage accounts, and securely send or receive crypto — all in one place.

During setup, you will create a PIN code and receive a 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the only backup of your wallet. Write it down carefully and store it offline in a safe place. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase, and you should never share it with anyone.

Take Control of Your Crypto

Ledger supports thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other popular assets. With Ledger Live, you can view balances, track portfolio performance, stake supported assets, and connect safely to Web3 applications — while keeping your private keys protected on your device.

Unlike custodial platforms, Ledger gives you true ownership. You remain in full control of your crypto at all times. Transactions must be physically approved on your Ledger device, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Designed for Long-Term Security

Ledger devices are built with security as the top priority. Each device undergoes rigorous testing and uses Ledger’s proprietary operating system to isolate apps and protect sensitive data. Regular firmware updates help ensure your wallet stays protected against emerging threats.

Ledger also emphasizes transparency and education. Ledger Academy provides resources to help users understand crypto security, self-custody, and best practices for protecting digital assets.

Start Safely, Stay Secure

Your crypto journey starts with the right foundation. By setting up your Ledger device through ledger.com/start, you ensure that you’re using official software, verified instructions, and trusted security practices.

Take control of your digital future with Ledger — a secure, simple, and reliable way to protect your crypto assets.
