Welcome to Ledger — Secure Your Crypto with Confidence
Welcome to ledger.com/start, the official place to begin your journey with Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you’re new to crypto or an experienced investor, Ledger gives you the tools you need to buy, manage, and protect your digital assets with industry-leading security.
Ledger hardware wallets are designed to keep your private keys offline and under your control. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger devices protect your crypto from online threats by storing sensitive information inside a certified Secure Element chip. This means your assets stay safe even if your computer or phone is compromised.
Get Started in a Few Simple Steps
Setting up your Ledger device is quick and straightforward. Start by downloading Ledger Live, the official companion app available for desktop and mobile. Ledger Live allows you to manage your crypto portfolio, install apps, send and receive assets, and track your balances in real time — all in one secure place.
Once Ledger Live is installed, connect your Ledger device and follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll be guided through creating a PIN code and generating your 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the only backup of your wallet and must be written down and stored securely offline. Never share it with anyone — Ledger will never ask for it.
Take Full Control of Your Assets
With Ledger, you truly own your crypto. Your private keys never leave your device, giving you complete control over your funds without relying on third parties. Ledger supports thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many popular altcoins and NFTs.
Ledger Live also lets you buy, sell, swap, and stake crypto directly through trusted partners, while keeping your assets protected by your hardware wallet. Everything is designed to be simple, transparent, and secure.
Security You Can Trust
Security is at the core of everything Ledger builds. Ledger devices are independently certified and trusted by millions of users worldwide. Each device undergoes strict security checks to ensure authenticity and protection against tampering.
To stay safe, always start at ledger.com/start and keep your device firmware and Ledger Live app up to date. Be cautious of phishing attempts and only download software from official Ledger sources.
