Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page created by Ledger, a global leader in digital asset security. This trusted setup resource walks you through everything from initializing your Ledger device to downloading the Ledger Live app. It’s designed for both beginners and advanced users who want to safeguard their crypto assets with the world’s most trusted hardware wallet.
By accessing Ledger.com/start, you ensure:

Unlike software wallets or exchanges that hold your private keys online, Ledger hardware wallets keep your keys offline and fully under your control. This minimizes the risk of hacking, phishing, and malware. When combined with Ledger Live, your Ledger device becomes a powerful tool for managing over 5,500 digital assets, including crypto coins, tokens, and NFTs.
Ledger supports:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Ripple (XRP)
Tether (USDT)
And thousands more…
Setting up your Ledger device through Ledger.com/start is quick and intuitive. Here’s how it works:
Start by inspecting your Ledger Nano device to ensure it hasn’t been tampered with. Purchase only from Ledger.com or authorized resellers. If your package looks damaged or unsealed, stop and contact support.
Through Ledger.com/start, you’ll be directed to install Ledger Live—the official application that connects your Ledger hardware wallet to your desktop or mobile device. It’s available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
With Ledger Live, you can:
Set up your wallet
Install crypto apps
Manage tokens and coins
Stake supported assets
Track your portfolio in real time
During initialization, you will:
Choose a secure PIN code
Receive a 24-word recovery phrase
Write down and store the phrase in a secure place (never online)
This recovery phrase is your only backup. Ledger will never ask for it—beware of scams.
Ledger supports thousands of coins and tokens. You can install apps like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more directly from Ledger Live. Each app allows your wallet to manage the corresponding blockchain.
Once your wallet is set up, you can:
Send and receive crypto with full control
Swap crypto using integrated third-party services
Stake coins like ETH and DOT for rewards
Manage your NFTs on Ethereum and other chains
Ledger.com/start is more than a setup page—it’s your security foundation. Always ensure you’re on the official Ledger domain, and never share your recovery phrase. Other safety practices include:
Bookmarking https://www.ledger.com/start
Keeping your recovery phrase offline and secure
Updating your device firmware regularly
Using only official support channels
Once your device is set up, Ledger Live becomes your crypto control center. From one application, you can:
Monitor your crypto portfolio
