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

Getting started with a Ledger hardware wallet should be simple, clear, and secure. Ledger.com/start is the official starting point for setting up a Ledger device and accessing the Ledger Wallet app. Whether you are using a Ledger device for the first time or returning to manage your crypto, following the correct setup process helps you avoid common security mistakes.

How to Start Your Ledger Wallet

Begin by using the official Ledger website and downloading the current Ledger Wallet application for your compatible device. Ledger provides desktop and mobile options, allowing users to manage supported digital assets from a convenient interface. Always verify that you are using an official Ledger source before downloading software.

After installing the application, connect your Ledger device and follow the instructions displayed on the device itself. During setup, you may create a PIN and generate a Secret Recovery Phrase. Your recovery phrase is extremely important because it can be used to restore access to your crypto if your device becomes unavailable.

How to Protect Your Recovery Phrase

Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with another person. Do not send it through email, messaging apps, websites, or social media, and do not store it as an ordinary digital file. Ledger's current guidance emphasizes keeping the recovery phrase offline and private.

Your Ledger device also provides a secure screen for reviewing important transaction information before approving an operation. Carefully check transaction details on the device before confirming anything.

How to Manage Crypto With Ledger Wallet

Ledger Wallet allows users to manage accounts and interact with supported crypto assets through a single application. Depending on the asset and service, users can send, receive, exchange, stake, and access compatible Web3 services. Supported assets and services can change, so check Ledger's official resources for current information.
