Begin your secure crypto journey by setting up your Ledger hardware wallet using the official Ledger onboarding process.

What Is Ledger.com/start?

Ledger.com/start is the official setup page for Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. This page guides users through the initial configuration process, including installing Ledger Live, initializing the device, and securing recovery information.

Using the official Ledger.com/start page ensures that your device is genuine, your firmware is authentic, and your private keys remain protected from the very first step.

Why Choose a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

Ledger hardware wallets provide cold-storage security by keeping private keys offline. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger devices isolate sensitive information inside a certified secure element.

Offline Key Storage

Private keys are generated and stored inside the Ledger device and never exposed to the internet.

Secure Element Chip

Ledger uses tamper-resistant hardware chips designed to protect against physical and digital attacks.

Full Asset Control

You remain the sole owner of your crypto assets with complete self-custody.
