What Is Ledger.com/start?

Why Use Ledger Hardware Wallets?
Ledger wallets offer a secure way to store and manage your cryptocurrency by keeping your private keys offline. This reduces the risk of hacks, malware, and phishing attacks. Unlike software wallets, Ledger devices offer hardware-level protection, making them ideal for long-term crypto holders.
Steps to Set Up via Ledger.com/start
- Visit Ledger.com/start.
- Select your Ledger device model (e.g., Nano S Plus, Nano X).
- Download and install Ledger Live for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
- Connect your Ledger device using the USB cable.
- Follow on-screen instructions in Ledger Live to initialize your device.
- Set a PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase securely — never share it!
- Add crypto accounts to Ledger Live and start managing your assets securely.
Security Tips
- Always use the official Ledger website to download software.
- Never share your recovery phrase with anyone — Ledger will never ask for it.
- Store your recovery phrase in a safe, offline location.
- Regularly update your device firmware through Ledger Live.
