Secure your crypto assets with the most trusted hardware wallet
Get StartedWelcome to Ledger.com/Start, your gateway to securing your cryptocurrency assets. Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward, and we're here to guide you through each step to ensure your digital wealth remains protected.
When you unbox your Ledger device, you'll find everything needed to begin your journey to security. The package includes your Ledger hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and keychain strap. Before setup, always verify that your device is genuine using our anti-tampering seals.
Start by connecting your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit Ledger Live, our dedicated platform, to install the application on your desktop or mobile device. Ledger Live will be your dashboard for managing your crypto assets, checking balances, and executing transactions securely.
During the initial setup, your device will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings. Write it down on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure location—never digitize it or share it with anyone. Your Ledger device is designed to keep this phrase offline, away from potential online threats.
After setting up your recovery phrase, you can install apps for the cryptocurrencies you wish to manage. Ledger Live makes it simple to add Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other coins and tokens. Each app is verified by Ledger to ensure integrity and security.
With your apps installed, you're ready to receive and send cryptocurrencies. Your Ledger device will sign all transactions internally, keeping your private keys secure within the device. This means your assets remain protected even if your computer is compromised.
Regularly update your Ledger device's firmware through Ledger Live to benefit from the latest security enhancements and features. Our team continuously works to protect against emerging threats, ensuring your peace of mind.
For additional security, consider using our Ledger Recover service, a optional paid subscription that backs up your recovery phrase using secure, encrypted fragments. This service provides a safeguard against loss while maintaining the highest security standards.
Your private keys remain secure in a certified chip, isolated from your computer and smartphone.
