Welcome to Ledgér.com/Start®, the official platform to begin your journey with Ledger®, the trusted name in hardware wallets for digital assets. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or looking to enhance your digital asset security, this guide will walk you through the essential steps to get started with your Ledger device.
Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Ledger Device
Begin by carefully unboxing your Ledger® device. Ensure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Inside, you should find:
- The Ledger® hardware wallet
- A USB cable
- Recovery sheet
- Instruction manual
Do not use a device that appears pre-configured or already initialized. For your security, only buy Ledger® products from the official website.
Step 2: Visit the Official Setup Page
Go to Ledgér.com/Start using a secure internet connection. This official setup page will help guide you through the installation and initialization process safely and step-by-step.
Step 3: Download Ledger Live
From the setup page, download Ledger Live, the companion app for your Ledger device. Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. This application allows you to manage your assets, install apps on your device, and verify transactions securely.
Once installed, launch Ledger Live and choose “Get Started.” Follow the instructions to connect and configure your Ledger® hardware wallet.
Step 4: Set Up Your Ledger Device
During initialization:
- Choose “Set up as new device” (unless restoring from recovery).
- Create a secure PIN code. Never share this PIN with anyone.
- Your device will now display a 24-word recovery phrase. Write this phrase down exactly on the provided recovery sheet. This is your only backup if your device is lost or stolen.
- Store this recovery phrase in a safe and offline location. Never take photos of it or store it digitally.
Step 5: Add Crypto Accounts
After setup, use Ledger Live to install apps for your desired cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Then, add accounts so you can receive, send, and manage those assets directly from the Ledger Live interface.
Step 6: Receive and Manage Crypto Securely
Once your accounts are set up:
- Click “Receive” to generate a wallet address.
- Always verify the address on your Ledger® device screen before sharing.
- Use “Send” to initiate transactions, confirming all details on your device screen before finalizing.
Ledger® never has access to your private keys. These remain secure inside your hardware wallet at all times.
Stay Safe with Ledger®
Security is central to Ledger®’s design. Always keep Ledger Live updated, use only official sites and sources, and never disclose your recovery phrase.
