Welcome to Ledger.com/start, your comprehensive resource for setting up your new Ledger hardware wallet. As the world leader in security solutions for cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications, Ledger provides the most secure way to manage your digital assets.
Starting with your Ledger device is straightforward. First, ensure you've downloaded the Ledger Live app appropriate for your operating system. Ledger Live is the companion application that allows you to manage your crypto assets, check your balances, and perform transactions securely.
Once you've installed Ledger Live, connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will guide you through the initialization process, which includes setting up a secure PIN code. This PIN is your first line of defense, protecting your device from unauthorized access.
The most critical step in your setup is writing down your recovery phrase. This 24-word phrase represents the keys to your cryptocurrency holdings. Never share this phrase with anyone, never store it digitally, and keep it in a secure location. If your device is lost or damaged, this recovery phrase is the only way to restore access to your assets.
After securing your recovery phrase, you can begin installing apps for the various cryptocurrencies you wish to manage. Ledger Live makes it simple to add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other supported assets. Each account is protected by your Ledger device's superior security architecture.
With your Ledger hardware wallet properly set up through Ledger.com/start, you can now securely receive, send, and manage your cryptocurrencies. Remember to regularly update your Ledger Live software and device firmware to benefit from the latest security enhancements and features.
Ledger's secure element chip technology, used in credit cards and passports, ensures that your private keys never leave your device. This means that even when connected to a compromised computer, your assets remain protected. This unparalleled security has made Ledger the choice for over 7 million customers worldwide.
Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned investor, following the Ledger.com/start process ensures you're maximizing the security of your digital assets. Welcome to the most secure way to engage with the blockchain ecosystem.
