Your Journey to Security Starts Here
Welcome to Ledger.com/start, your gateway to unparalleled cryptocurrency security. Setting up your Ledger device is the first step toward taking full control of your digital assets. Our hardware wallets provide military-grade security for your cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other digital assets.
With Ledger, you become your own bank. Unlike exchange wallets where you don't control your private keys, Ledger gives you complete sovereignty over your assets. Our devices combine a secure element chip with a proprietary operating system designed specifically to protect your crypto against various threats.
The setup process is straightforward and user-friendly. You'll be guided through initializing your device, setting up a PIN code, generating your recovery phrase, and installing essential applications. Remember, your recovery phrase is the master key to your crypto assets—never share it with anyone and store it securely offline.
Once set up, you can use Ledger Live—our companion application—to manage your portfolio, buy/sell crypto, stake assets to earn rewards, and connect to various Web3 applications securely. Ledger supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and continues to add new assets regularly.
