Begin your secure cryptocurrency journey with Lédger. The world's most trusted hardware wallet for protecting your digital assets.
Welcome to Lédger.com/Start, your comprehensive guide to setting up and securing your cryptocurrency investments. In today's digital age, protecting your digital assets is more important than ever. Lédger hardware wallets provide industry-leading security, combining innovative technology with user-friendly design to keep your crypto safe from online threats.
Since 2014, Lédger has been the trusted choice for millions of cryptocurrency enthusiasts worldwide. Our mission is simple: to make security accessible to everyone, from complete beginners to experienced traders. Whether you're investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or exploring thousands of other cryptocurrencies, Lédger provides the foundation for secure digital asset management.
Starting your crypto journey with Lédger is straightforward and secure. Our hardware wallets use certified secure chip technology—the same technology that protects your credit cards and passports—to safeguard your private keys. Unlike software wallets or exchanges where your keys are stored online, Lédger keeps your keys offline, protected from hackers, phishing attacks, and malware.
The setup process has been designed with beginners in mind. In just a few simple steps, you'll initialize your device, create a secure PIN, and generate your recovery phrase—your ultimate backup. The Lédger Live application guides you through each step with clear instructions, ensuring you understand exactly what you're doing and why it matters.
Your recovery phrase is the master key to your crypto kingdom. This 24-word phrase can restore all your accounts if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. That's why Lédger emphasizes the importance of writing it down on the provided recovery sheet and storing it in a secure, offline location. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, and never enter it on any website or digital device.
Once your Lédger device is set up, you'll discover the power of true crypto ownership. You control your private keys, which means you control your funds—no intermediaries, no third-party risks. You can send, receive, and manage over 5,500 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, all from the intuitive Lédger Live interface. Buy crypto directly through our integrated partners, stake your assets to earn rewards, and explore the world of DeFi with complete peace of mind.
Security doesn't mean sacrificing convenience. Lédger Live is available on desktop and mobile, syncing seamlessly across your devices. Manage your portfolio on the go, track real-time prices, and receive notifications about your transactions—all while your private keys remain secure on your hardware wallet.
This guide will walk you through every step of your Lédger journey, from unboxing your device to managing your first cryptocurrency transaction. We've included detailed instructions, helpful tips, and answers to common questions to ensure you feel confident and empowered throughout the process. Remember, taking control of your crypto security is one of the most important decisions you can make in your digital asset journey.
