Official Setup Portal for Ledger Hardware Wallets
Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page designed to help users securely set up their Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you own a Ledger Nano device or another Ledger model, this page guides you through device initialization, firmware verification, and installation of the companion application for managing digital assets.
Using only the official setup portal ensures you avoid phishing websites and malicious software. Always verify that you are accessing the authentic Ledger domain before beginning the setup process.
Ensure the packaging is sealed and the device shows no signs of tampering.
Install the official Ledger Live application for desktop or mobile to manage your crypto assets.
Create a new wallet and generate your unique recovery phrase directly on the device screen.
Carefully record your 24-word recovery phrase and store it offline in a secure location.
Create a PIN code to protect physical access to your device.
Ledger hardware wallets provide institutional-grade security for cryptocurrency investors. Unlike software wallets that remain connected to the internet, Ledger devices isolate private keys within a secure hardware environment, dramatically reducing the risk of hacking.
All transactions must be physically confirmed on the device, ensuring that malware on a computer cannot execute unauthorized transfers.
