Secure Your
Digital Future

Welcome to Ledger.com/start, your comprehensive guide to securing your cryptocurrency investments with the world's most trusted hardware wallet solution. Starting your crypto security journey has never been easier, and you're about to discover why millions of users worldwide trust Ledger to protect their digital assets.

Your Ledger hardware wallet represents the pinnacle of cryptocurrency security technology. Unlike software wallets that store your private keys online, Ledger devices keep your keys completely offline in a secure chip, making them virtually immune to hacking attempts, malware, and phishing attacks. This revolutionary approach ensures your crypto remains safe even when your computer or smartphone is compromised.

The setup process begins the moment you unbox your Ledger device. Our step-by-step setup wizard guides you through initializing your wallet, creating a secure PIN, and generating your unique 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is your ultimate backup – it's the key to accessing your funds if your device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged. We'll show you how to safely record and store this phrase using our recommended best practices.

Once your device is configured, you'll install Ledger Live, our companion software that serves as your gateway to the crypto ecosystem. Through Ledger Live, you can manage over 5,500 cryptocurrencies, track your portfolio performance in real-time, stake your coins to earn rewards, and execute secure transactions with complete peace of mind. The interface is designed for both beginners and experienced users, offering simple one-click operations alongside advanced features for power users.

Security doesn't end with setup – it's an ongoing commitment. We'll teach you essential security practices, including how to verify transaction details on your device screen, recognize and avoid phishing attempts, and keep your firmware updated with the latest security enhancements. Our security team continuously monitors for threats and releases updates to ensure your Ledger device remains protected against emerging risks in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
