Welcome to Ledger.com/start, your comprehensive resource for setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. In today's digital age, protecting your cryptocurrency assets has never been more critical. With the rising prevalence of cyber threats and hacking attempts, hardware wallets like those offered by Ledger provide the highest level of security for your digital wealth.
Ledger hardware wallets are specially designed devices that store your private keys offline, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. This approach, known as cold storage, ensures that your cryptocurrencies remain safe even if your computer or smartphone is compromised. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or an experienced trader, following the proper setup process at Ledger.com/start is essential for maximizing the security of your assets.
Ledger stands out in the cryptocurrency security space for several reasons. First, our devices incorporate a secure element chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards, providing military-grade security for your private keys. Second, Ledger Live, our companion application, offers an intuitive interface for managing over 1,800 different cryptocurrencies and tokens. Third, our open-source approach to development means that security experts worldwide can review and verify our code, ensuring transparency and trust.
When you visit Ledger.com/start, you're accessing a platform built on years of security research and development. Our team of cryptographers and security experts has designed every aspect of the Ledger ecosystem with one goal in mind: keeping your digital assets safe from any potential threat.
Setting up your Ledger device through Ledger.com/start is a straightforward process designed with user experience in mind. The first step involves downloading Ledger Live, our secure application that serves as the gateway to your hardware wallet. This application is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, ensuring compatibility with virtually any device you own.
Once installed, Ledger Live will guide you through initializing your hardware wallet, creating a recovery phrase, and installing applications for the specific cryptocurrencies you wish to manage.

At Ledger.com/start, we provide detailed instructions on how to properly store this phrase to ensure you never lose access to your funds.
Security doesn't end with the initial setup. At Ledger.com/start, we provide ongoing resources to help you maintain the highest security standards.
