Welcome to Ledger: Your Journey to Ultimate Crypto Security Starts Here
Your Gateway to Self-Custody and Financial Sovereignty
Welcome to Ledger.com/start, the official starting point for securing your digital assets. In a world where financial control is increasingly digital, taking ownership of your cryptocurrencies and NFTs is not just an option—it's essential. This guide is designed to help you, whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned crypto veteran, begin your journey with confidence and clarity. At Ledger, we believe security should empower, not intimidate.
Why Start with a Ledger Device?
Unlike online exchanges or software wallets, a Ledger hardware wallet stores your private keys offline in a secure chip. This fundamental principle, called cold storage, ensures your sensitive data never touches the internet, providing an impenetrable barrier against remote hacks. Your journey here signifies a proactive step toward true digital ownership. From Bitcoin and Ethereum to thousands of altcoins and digital collectibles, your Ledger device is your universal key to the decentralized world.
Unboxing Your First Steps: What to Expect
When you begin at ledger.com/start, you're initiating a seamless process:
Device Setup: You'll learn how to initialize your new Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax, generate your unique 24-word recovery phrase (the most critical security element), and set a robust PIN code.
Ledger Live Installation: We'll guide you through installing Ledger Live—our companion application—on your desktop or mobile. This intuitive interface is your command center for managing your portfolio.
Asset Management: Discover how to install apps for specific cryptocurrencies, create accounts, and receive your first assets securely onto your device.
Navigating Ledger Live: Your Security Command Center
Ledger Live is more than a balance checker; it's an integrated platform. From this central hub, you can buy, sell, swap, and grow your crypto assets—all while your private keys remain protected in your hardware wallet. The "start" journey familiarizes you with its clean dashboard, real-time market data, and the straightforward process of verifying and approving transactions directly on your device.
Foundational Security Principles You'll Master
Beginning at this page means committing to best practices:
The Sacred Recovery Phrase: You will write down and safeguard your 24-word phrase offline. It is the absolute master key to restore your entire portfolio if needed.

Proactive Updates: Keeping your device firmware and Ledger Live updated ensures you have the latest security patches and features.
