Securely Initialize Your Ledger Device

Welcome to Ledger.com/start, the official guide to safely setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger provides the most secure way to manage cryptocurrencies, ensuring your private keys remain offline and protected from online threats.

To begin, connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device. You will then be guided to install Ledger Live, the official application for managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other assets. Ledger Live’s user-friendly interface ensures that setting up your wallet is simple, secure, and straightforward.

Create and Backup Your Wallet

During setup, you’ll either create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase is your lifeline — store it offline in a safe location and never share it digitally. This ensures full control over your funds, even if your device is lost or stolen.

Manage Your Crypto Safely

Ledger devices allow you to verify transactions directly on the device, providing maximum protection against fraud. Your private keys never leave the device, giving you peace of mind and complete ownership over your assets. The combination of Ledger Live and Ledger hardware creates a secure ecosystem for cryptocurrency management.
