Visit Ledger.com/start to activate your hardware wallet and protect your assets with confidence 💎
Ledger devices are designed to give you total control of your digital assets. When you visit Ledger.com/start, you enter a simple step-by-step setup that ensures your crypto remains in your hands and protected by world-class security. With Ledger, you’re not just storing coins — you’re safeguarding your financial freedom.
Begin by visiting the official setup page. This is your trusted source for firmware downloads, installation guides, and genuine software verification. Never use third-party links — always type the URL directly in your browser to avoid scams and phishing attempts.
Inside your box, you’ll find the Ledger Nano device, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and a “Getting Started” guide. Examine the packaging carefully — Ledger boxes are sealed with tamper-proof materials. If anything seems off, contact Ledger support before continuing.
Ledger Live is the official companion app that connects your hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device. It allows you to send, receive, and manage your digital currencies securely. Download it only from Ledger’s official website to guarantee authenticity.
When prompted, create a strong PIN to access your Ledger device. This PIN acts as the first layer of security. Avoid simple combinations — make it unique and never share it with anyone, even Ledger staff. Your PIN is personal and irreplaceable.
Ledger will generate a 24-word recovery phrase — this is your ultimate backup. Write it on the provided recovery sheet, store it offline in a safe location, and never take photos or store it digitally. Losing this phrase could mean losing access to your crypto forever.
Keeping your Ledger’s firmware up to date ensures it has the latest security patches and coin support. Ledger Live will notify you when an update is available. Follow the instructions carefully — do not disconnect the device during updates.
After setup, you can add your favorite crypto accounts. Ledger Live supports major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others. Each account is isolated and secured by your private keys stored safely inside your hardware wallet chip.
To send crypto, connect your Ledger, confirm the transaction on-screen, and approve it on the device. Ledger ensures your private keys never leave the hardware — even if your computer is infected, your funds remain secure.
Always double-check URLs and messages. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase or private information. Bookmark Ledger.com/start and verify links before you click. Awareness is your best defense.
Once set up, you own your assets fully. Ledger combines simplicity with military-grade security, letting you manage NFTs, tokens, and coins across multiple blockchains. Your keys, your crypto — forever.
