How to Start with Ledger
Welcome to Ledger Start — your trusted starting point for initializing and protecting your Ledger hardware wallet. This is the official guide designed to ensure that every step of your setup is safe, verified, and completely under your control. Ledger’s mission is to empower you to own your crypto securely, with no intermediaries or compromises.
To begin, connect your Ledger device using the supplied USB cable. Always verify that you are on the official Ledger website (ledger.com/start) to avoid phishing attempts. Once connected, download the official Ledger Live app on your computer or smartphone. This application acts as your secure gateway to install apps, manage assets, and verify transactions.
During the setup, you will create a PIN and receive your 24-word recovery phrase. Write this recovery phrase on paper and store it offline — never share or photograph it. Your recovery phrase is the ultimate key to your wallet and funds. Ledger will never ask for it, and neither should anyone else.
After completing the setup, open Ledger Live and explore its intuitive interface. You can easily view your balances, manage multiple crypto accounts, and track your portfolio’s performance in real-time. The app ensures every transaction is verified through your Ledger device, keeping your private keys offline and untouchable by hackers.
With Ledger, security meets simplicity. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor, your digital wealth stays protected under your control. Ledger Start helps you take the first confident step toward financial sovereignty. Begin your crypto journey today — safely, smoothly, and smartly.
