Begin Your Secure
Crypto Journey

Ledger.com/start is your gateway to uncompromising digital asset security. This comprehensive onboarding platform guides you through every step of setting up your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring that your cryptocurrency remains protected by the industry's most trusted security infrastructure. Whether you're a first-time crypto investor or managing institutional-level portfolios, Ledger.com/start delivers a seamless initialization experience designed with both simplicity and security in mind.

The setup process begins the moment you connect your Ledger device. Our intelligent software automatically detects your hardware model and initiates a secure connection, verifying the device's authenticity through cryptographic attestation. You'll be guided through creating a unique PIN code, generating your recovery phrase, and installing the Ledger Live application—all while maintaining complete control over your private keys. Unlike software wallets or exchange custody, your assets remain secured in an isolated environment that's immune to online threats.

What sets Ledger apart is our certified secure element technology—the same chip used in credit cards and passports. This hardware-based security ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys remain protected within the device. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device screen, providing an additional layer of verification that prevents unauthorized access and phishing attacks. This "air-gapped" approach represents the gold standard in cryptocurrency security architecture.

Beyond initial setup, Ledger.com/start provides ongoing education and resources to help you maximize your security practices. You'll learn about recovery phrase storage, firmware updates, and best practices for managing multiple accounts across different blockchain networks. With support for over 5,500 digital assets and integration with leading DeFi platforms, your Ledger device becomes the foundation of a comprehensive crypto ecosystem—all accessible through one secure, user-friendly interface that scales with your needs from personal holdings to enterprise treasury management.
