While blockchain technology itself is secure, the way individuals store and manage their private keys plays a pivotal role in keeping digital assets safe. That’s where Ledger®, a global leader in crypto security, steps in.
Whether you're new to crypto or looking for a more secure way to manage your portfolio, the best place to begin is the official Ledger® website: Ledger.com/Start®. This page is the gateway to setting up your Ledger hardware wallet, installing Ledger Live, and learning how to safely buy, sell, and manage your crypto assets.
Let’s walk through the process of getting started with Ledger the right way—safely, confidently, and with full control of your assets.
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, the internet is full of tutorials, videos, and user guides. However, not all of them are trustworthy or up to date. The official Ledger.com/Start® page ensures that users are:
Downloading the authentic Ledger Live software
Following the correct setup steps for hardware wallets
Learning best practices to secure their recovery phrase
Receiving real-time firmware updates and feature enhancements
This site is your trusted resource for safely onboarding into the Ledger ecosystem.
Ledger offers two primary hardware wallets:
Ledger Nano S Plus – Affordable, compact, and supports over 5,500 crypto assets.
Ledger Nano X – Offers Bluetooth support and larger memory for managing many apps.
When you receive your device, inspect the packaging to ensure it hasn’t been tampered with. Ledger hardware wallets come with a tamper-evident seal and do not include any pre-written recovery phrases. If you notice anything suspicious, do not use the device and contact Ledger support immediately.
Once you've verified your device, go to Ledger.com/Start® using a secure computer or laptop. This official start page will guide you step-by-step through:
Installing Ledger Live, the official application for managing your crypto.
Initializing your device, including setting up a PIN code.
Generating your 24-word recovery phrase, which is your only backup.
Ledger does not keep copies of your recovery phrase. Write it down carefully and store it in a secure location offline. Never take a photo of it or upload it to any cloud-based storage.
Ledger Live is the software interface where you’ll interact with your crypto portfolio. It’s available for:
Desktop: Windows, macOS, and Linux
Mobile: iOS and Android (only for the Nano X, due to Bluetooth support)
Once installed, Ledger Live allows you to:
Add accounts for different cryptocurrencies
Send and receive assets
Buy and swap crypto through trusted partners
Stake supported assets
Track your portfolio in real time
Store and view NFTs
Each action in Ledger Live requires physical confirmation on your hardware wallet, which ensures full security against remote hacks or unauthorized access.
Once your Ledger device is set up and connected to Ledger Live:
Click “Add Account” in the app.
Choose the cryptocurrency you want to manage (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
Install the relevant app on your Ledger device.
Create an account and view your receiving address.
You can now safely send funds to your Ledger wallet.
Ledger Live is much more than a simple wallet viewer. Explore features such as:
Buy crypto using bank transfer or credit card
Swap tokens across blockchains
Stake coins like Ethereum, Polkadot, and Tezos to earn rewards
Manage NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain
Connect to Web3 applications through Ledger's ecosystem while keeping private keys secure
