Welcome to Ledger.com/start, your official guide to setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you are new to cryptocurrencies or an experienced trader, Ledger ensures the highest level of security for your digital assets. This step-by-step guide helps you set up, manage, and safeguard your cryptocurrency portfolio efficiently and safely.
To begin, connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device. Download the Ledger Live application, which provides an intuitive dashboard for managing all your supported cryptocurrencies in one place. Ledger Live is designed to provide complete control, privacy, and security, making it easy for anyone to safely interact with the blockchain.
During setup, you will create a recovery phrase — a sequence of 24 words that acts as your backup key. Store it safely offline, as it is the only way to recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, and avoid storing it digitally to maintain maximum security.
Once your Ledger device is configured, you can securely send, receive, and track cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other tokens. Each transaction is verified on the device itself, preventing phishing and malware attacks, so your assets remain safe even if your computer is compromised.
At Ledger.com/start, we aim to empower users to take full control of their digital wealth. Explore advanced security features, learn best practices, and access educational resources to improve your crypto knowledge. Ledger provides a reliable, transparent, and user-friendly experience, giving you confidence that your cryptocurrencies are protected now and in the future.
