What you'll find at ledger.com/start
The ledger.com/start resource is designed to guide new users through the essential steps needed to safely configure a Ledger hardware wallet, understand recovery phrases, and integrate with supported software wallets and apps. Whether you are a beginner or brushing up on security best practices, the start page helps ensure you complete setup correctly and securely.
Why the start page matters
Starting right reduces the risk of losing funds. The onboarding checklist typically covers device unboxing verification, secure recovery phrase generation and storage, firmware updates, official app installation, and connecting to supported ecosystems. Following official instructions available at the start link reduces exposure to scams and unofficial workflows.
Concise onboarding checklist
- Verify you received a sealed and untampered device.
- Go to ledger.com/start to find the official setup steps and app downloads.
- Set a PIN on the device and write down your recovery phrase exactly as shown — never store it digitally.
- Install Ledger Live or recommended partner apps from verified sources only.
- Update firmware and confirm device integrity before moving assets.
Helpful tips
Save your recovery phrase offline and in multiple secure locations. Avoid entering your recovery phrase on any computer or online form. If you have questions, consult the official start documentation and support channels referenced at ledger.com/start.
Security reminders
Be cautious about URLs that mimic the official domain. Always check for the correct domain and secure connection (HTTPS). Ledger’s official start resources consolidate verified instructions for supported devices and software integrations.
Learn more and keep informed
If you'd like a short, focused set of getting-started tips delivered to your inbox (no obligations), use the sign-up box on the right. The sign-up simply registers your name and email locally and triggers a confirmation preview — it does not move funds or interact with devices. It is a convenience to receive onboarding reminders and curated pointers to the content at ledger.com/start.
