Getting Started with Your Ledger Wallet

Ledger.com/Start® is your official starting point for configuring your Ledger hardware wallet. As the world's most trusted crypto security solution, Ledger empowers millions of users to take complete control of their digital assets with unparalleled protection against online threats, hacks, and scams.

Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward and secure. Begin by unboxing your authentic Ledger wallet, ensuring the security seal is intact. Connect your device to your computer or smartphone via USB or Bluetooth, then navigate to Ledger.com/Start to download the official Ledger Live application. This powerful software interface allows you to manage your crypto portfolio, install blockchain apps, and execute transactions with complete peace of mind.

During initialization, your Ledger device generates a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to your funds and must be written down carefully on the provided recovery sheet. Store it in a secure, offline location—never photograph it or save it digitally. Remember, Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase via email, phone, or any digital channel. Protecting this phrase means protecting your entire crypto wealth.

Once configured, your Ledger wallet becomes an impenetrable fortress for your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other supported cryptocurrencies. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain safe. With Ledger, you're not just storing crypto—you're investing in true financial sovereignty and long-term security.
