Why Ledger.com/Start?
Ledger.com/Start is your verified entry point for setting up a Ledger hardware wallet safely. It provides an authentic, step-by-step walkthrough that ensures your device is genuine, your software is secure, and your funds remain in your control.
Step 1: Verify Your Ledger Device
Before connecting, ensure your Ledger package is sealed and untampered. Only purchase directly from Ledger.com or authorized retailers. Authentic devices come with secure hardware elements and holographic safety seals for extra protection.
Step 2: Install Ledger Live
Go to Ledger.com/Start to download the official Ledger Live app for Windows, macOS, or Linux. This application connects your device to the blockchain, allowing you to manage cryptocurrencies and check real-time balances directly from your computer.
Step 3: Set Up and Create Your PIN
Connect your Ledger wallet via USB, then follow the on-screen instructions to generate a secure PIN. This PIN protects access to your wallet and prevents unauthorized use. Choose a combination that’s both unique and hard to guess.
Step 4: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase
Your Ledger device will display a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down carefully and store it in a secure offline location. Never share this phrase or store it digitally — it’s the key to recovering your crypto if your device is lost or reset.
Step 5: Securely Manage Your Crypto
After setup, open Ledger Live to start managing your assets. Add crypto accounts, check balances, and approve transactions directly on your device. Each action requires physical confirmation, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your funds stay protected.
With Ledger.com/Start, you’re not just setting up a wallet — you’re building digital independence. Keep your keys offline, stay in control, and trade securely with complete peace of mind.
