Your gateway to secure cryptocurrency ownership. Set up your Ledger hardware wallet and take full control of your digital assets with industry-leading security.
Your crypto, secured offline
Ledger.com Start is your comprehensive guide to setting up and using your Ledger hardware wallet. As the world's most trusted cryptocurrency security solution, Ledger provides unparalleled protection for your digital assets through cutting-edge technology and innovative design. With over 6 million satisfied users globally, Ledger has established itself as the gold standard in cryptocurrency security.
A Ledger hardware wallet stores your private keys completely offline, protecting them from online threats, hackers, and malware. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts that remain vulnerable to cyberattacks, your Ledger device ensures that your cryptocurrency remains under your complete control at all times. This self-custody approach means you truly own your digital assets—no third party can access, freeze, or confiscate your funds.
Getting started with Ledger.com Start is remarkably simple. First, unbox your Ledger device and connect it to your computer or smartphone. Next, initialize your device by creating a secure PIN code and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase—this phrase is crucial for recovering your assets if your device is ever lost or damaged. Then, install Ledger Live, the companion application that lets you manage your cryptocurrency portfolio with ease.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of altcoins and tokens. The device uses certified secure chips (CC EAL5+) that provide bank-level security, ensuring your private keys never leave the device. Whether you're a beginner starting your crypto journey or an experienced investor managing a diverse portfolio, Ledger's hardware security gives you peace of mind knowing your investments are protected by military-grade encryption.
The Ledger ecosystem extends beyond just hardware wallets. With Ledger Stax, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Nano S Plus, you can choose the device that best fits your needs and budget. Each device offers the same uncompromising security while providing different features and form factors. The intuitive design makes it easy to send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrencies without sacrificing security.
