Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page designed to help you safely set up your Ledger hardware wallet and begin managing your crypto assets with confidence. Whether you're new to crypto or an experienced investor, following the official setup process ensures your digital assets remain protected from day one.

What Is Ledger.com/Start?

Ledger.com/start is the trusted setup portal provided by Ledger, a global leader in crypto hardware wallet security.

It walks you through:

  • Installing Ledger Live
  • Initializing your hardware wallet
  • Creating and confirming your PIN
  • Securely backing up your recovery phrase

Using the official website helps you avoid phishing sites, fake apps, and counterfeit firmware.

Why Use a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

Unlike online wallets or exchange-based storage, Ledger devices store your private keys offline (cold storage). This dramatically reduces exposure to hacks, malware, and phishing attacks.

Key Benefits:

  • 🔒 Offline private key storage
  • 🛡 Protection against phishing and malware
  • 🌍 Support for thousands of cryptocurrencies
  • 📊 Easy portfolio management with Ledger Live

With a hardware wallet, you maintain full control of your assets — not a third party.

How to Set Up Your Device via Ledger.com/Start

  1. Visit Ledger.com/start using a secure browser.
  2. Download and install the Ledger Live app (desktop or mobile).
  3. Connect your Ledger device and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. Create a secure PIN code.
  5. Carefully write down your 24-word recovery phrase.
  6. Confirm your recovery phrase on the device.
  7. Complete the setup process.

Once finished, your wallet is ready to send, receive, and manage digital assets securely.

Best Practices for Wallet Security

  • ✅ Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
  • ❌ Ledger will never ask for your 24 recovery words.
  • 🧾 Store your recovery phrase offline (paper or metal backup).
  • 🔐 Consider using an additional passphrase for advanced protection.
  • 📦 Keep backups in multiple secure locations.

If any website or person asks for your recovery phrase, it is almost certainly a scam.
