Your secure path to managing and protecting your digital assets.
Get StartedLedger.com/Start is the official onboarding portal for Ledger hardware wallets, offering a streamlined and secure setup process. Whether you're new to crypto or upgrading your security, this guide helps you understand your device, install Ledger Live, and safeguard your recovery phrase. Within this page, you'll find a complete walkthrough to help you get started confidently.
Ensure your Ledger device packaging is sealed and untampered. Ledger devices never come with a pre-written recovery phrase — if yours does, do not use it. Always generate your recovery phrase during the setup process.
Navigate to the official start page using your browser. This ensures you’re downloading authentic software and following verified instructions that keep your crypto safe.
Ledger Live is the central application that allows you to manage your crypto, install apps, and track your portfolio. Download it for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS.
Follow the on-screen instructions on your Ledger device to create a PIN, generate your recovery phrase, and confirm it. Your recovery phrase is your ultimate backup — store it offline and never share it.
Once your device is initialized, open Ledger Live and pair it with your hardware wallet. Install the apps you need for the cryptocurrencies you hold.
Ledger wallets provide industry-leading security through secure-element chips, physical transaction verification, and offline key storage. Ledger Live offers a seamless interface, making crypto management accessible even for beginners. With millions of users worldwide, Ledger is a trusted name in digital asset protection.
