Your Secure Cryptocurrency Vault
Ledger.com/Start provides you with industry-leading security features designed to protect your cryptocurrency investments from all potential threats.
Ledger hardware wallets utilize secure element chips, the same technology used in passports and credit cards. Your private keys never leave the device, ensuring complete protection against online threats, malware, and phishing attacks.
Getting started with Ledger.com/Start takes just minutes. Connect your device, install Ledger Live application, and follow our intuitive step-by-step instructions. No technical expertise required – we've made cryptocurrency security accessible to everyone.
Store your cryptocurrency completely offline with cold storage technology. Your private keys are generated and stored within the hardware wallet, isolated from internet connectivity, providing maximum security against remote attacks and unauthorized access.
Manage over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens through Ledger Live. Buy, sell, stake, and swap digital assets directly from your secure hardware wallet interface. Experience seamless transactions while maintaining complete control of your funds.
The Ledger.com/Start platform serves as your comprehensive entry point into the world of secure cryptocurrency storage. When you purchase a Ledger device – whether it's the Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or the premium Ledger Stax – this portal guides you through every essential step of the initialization process.
Beginning with device verification, you'll learn to authenticate your hardware wallet to ensure it hasn't been tampered with during shipping. The setup wizard then walks you through firmware installation, PIN code creation, and the critical recovery phrase backup process. Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings, and Ledger.com/Start emphasizes proper storage methods to prevent loss or theft.
Once your device is initialized, you'll install Ledger Live – the companion application that transforms your hardware wallet into a complete cryptocurrency management suite. Through Ledger Live, you can monitor portfolio performance, execute transactions, stake supported cryptocurrencies for passive income, and access decentralized applications while your private keys remain safely stored offline within your Ledger device.
