Begin Your Crypto Device® Journey

Welcome to Ledger.com/start - your comprehensive gateway to cryptocurrency security. Our industry-leading hardware wallets provide unparalleled protection for your digital assets, supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 5,000+ cryptocurrencies.

Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward and secure. Begin by downloading the official Ledger Live application, which serves as your command center for managing cryptocurrencies. This powerful software enables you to install apps, check balances, send and receive crypto, and monitor your portfolio's performance in real-time.

Your Ledger hardware wallet uses state-of-the-art secure element technology, similar to that found in passports and credit cards. This ensures your private keys remain offline and protected from hackers, malware, and online threats. Unlike software wallets, Ledger devices provide true cold storage, meaning your assets stay secure even when connected to compromised computers.

The setup process involves three simple steps: initialize your device, write down your 24-word recovery phrase, and download Ledger Live. Your recovery phrase is crucial - it's your backup that can restore access to your funds if your device is lost or damaged. Store it securely offline, never share it digitally, and consider using our Recovery Check feature to verify you've recorded it correctly.

Start your journey toward complete cryptocurrency independence today. With Ledger, you maintain full control over your digital wealth while benefiting from institutional-grade security that has protected billions in assets for users worldwide.
