Secure Your Digital Assets
Ledger.com/start is your dedicated portal for setting up and using Ledger hardware wallets. As the industry leader in cryptocurrency security, Ledger provides the tools you need to take full control of your digital assets while keeping them safe from online threats.
The setup process begins by connecting your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device. Ledger Live, our comprehensive management application, will guide you through initializing your device, creating your recovery phrase, and setting up your secure PIN. This recovery phrase is the most critical element of your security - it's the master key that can restore access to all your cryptocurrencies if your device is lost or damaged.
Once your device is initialized, you can install specific cryptocurrency applications directly onto your Ledger device through Ledger Live. Each app corresponds to a different blockchain, allowing you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies from a single, secure interface. The device itself stores your private keys in its secure element chip, ensuring they never leave the hardware wallet.
Ledger Live provides a unified dashboard where you can view your portfolio balance, send and receive cryptocurrencies, buy crypto with fiat currency, and even stake certain assets to earn rewards - all while maintaining the highest security standards. The application connects to your Ledger device to securely sign transactions while keeping your private keys isolated from internet-connected devices.
For advanced users, Ledger offers additional security features including passphrase protection, which adds an extra layer of security to your recovery phrase. The platform also supports integration with third-party wallets and DeFi applications through WalletConnect and other protocols, allowing you to interact with the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem without compromising security.
Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced user, Ledger.com/start provides all the resources you need to securely manage your digital wealth. With regular firmware updates and a commitment to security research, Ledger continues to set the standard for cryptocurrency storage solutions.
