Ledger.com/start – Get Started With Your Ledger Wallet

Getting started with a Ledger hardware wallet is straightforward when you follow the correct setup process. Ledger.com/start is the official starting point for setting up a Ledger device and learning how to manage your digital assets securely. Use official Ledger resources whenever you download software, configure your device, or look for security information.

How to Set Up a Ledger Wallet

Begin by visiting the official Ledger.com/start page and following the instructions for your Ledger device. Download the official Ledger Wallet application for your supported computer or mobile device. Ledger Wallet is the companion application used to manage accounts and interact with your Ledger hardware device.

Connect your Ledger device and follow the setup instructions shown on screen. During initialization, you may be asked to create a PIN and record your recovery information. Keep your recovery phrase private and store it in a secure location. Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with another person.

What Can You Do With Ledger Wallet?

After completing setup, Ledger Wallet can help you manage supported crypto assets from one application. Depending on your device and supported assets, you can view accounts, send and receive crypto, install applications, and access additional services.

Your Ledger hardware device is designed to keep private keys protected while transactions require confirmation on the physical device. This provides an additional security layer compared with keeping sensitive wallet credentials entirely online.

Ledger Security Tips

Always download Ledger software from an official Ledger source. Be cautious of websites, messages, emails, or applications asking for your recovery phrase. Ledger's support resources provide troubleshooting information and guidance for common setup and account-management questions.

For additional learning, explore Ledger's educational resources and security guides. Understanding recovery phrases, device security, and transaction verification can help you use your Ledger device with greater confidence.
