Ledger.com/Start - Official Setup Guide

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start

Welcome to the official Ledger setup guide. This comprehensive resource will help you securely initialize your Ledger hardware wallet, whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced user. Follow these steps to ensure your digital assets are protected with enterprise-grade security.

Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Ledger Device

When your Ledger device arrives, carefully inspect the packaging for any signs of tampering. All genuine Ledger products feature tamper-evident seals. Verify the authenticity of your device by checking the holographic security seal. Never use a device that appears to have been opened or compromised.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live and Connect Your Device

Visit Ledger.com/start to download Ledger Live, the official companion application for your hardware wallet. Install the application on your computer or mobile device, then connect your Ledger device using the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device and set up a strong PIN code.

Crucial: Protect Your Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is the most critical element of your wallet security. This 24-word phrase represents complete control over your cryptocurrency assets. Write it down on the provided recovery sheet and store it in multiple secure locations. Never digitize your recovery phrase or store it online, as this exposes you to potential hacking attempts.

Step 3: Install Applications and Manage Assets

Through Ledger Live, you can install applications for various cryptocurrencies supported by your device. This allows you to manage thousands of different assets securely from a single interface. Ledger.com/start provides comprehensive tutorials and support resources to help you maximize your wallet's capabilities.
