Official Site® | Ledgér.com/Start® | Getting Started with Your Ledger Hardware Wallet

In today's digital economy, securing your cryptocurrency is more essential than ever. Whether you're new to crypto or a seasoned investor, the first and most important step is protecting your assets. That’s where Ledgér.com/Start® comes in — your official and trusted source for setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet.

Why Start with Ledgér.com/Start®?

When it comes to safeguarding digital assets, Ledger is a name synonymous with trust, security, and innovation. The Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X are two of the most secure hardware wallets available on the market. But owning a Ledger device is just the beginning. To ensure your device is genuine, properly configured, and safely integrated into your crypto lifestyle, you must begin at the official onboarding portal: Ledgér.com/Start®.

This official page provides step-by-step instructions, tools, and guidance to securely set up your device and manage your crypto assets using Ledger Live — the companion app that allows full control over your portfolio.

What Is a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your private crypto keys offline, offering maximum protection against online threats like hacking, phishing, and malware. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets are immune to most remote attacks. They are designed to sign transactions internally without exposing your private keys to your computer or internet connection.

By beginning at Ledgér.com/Start®, you can ensure your hardware wallet is:

  • Genuine and not tampered with

  • Properly initialized with a secure PIN

  • Backed up using your 24-word recovery phrase

  • Connected securely to Ledger Live for transaction management

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get Started at Ledgér.com/Start®

1. Visit the Official Website
Always type Ledgér.com/Start® directly into your browser or access it through the official Ledger.com website. This protects you from fake websites and phishing scams.

2. Unbox and Check Your Device
Inspect your Ledger wallet packaging for any signs of tampering. Ledger devices are shipped without a pre-set PIN or recovery phrase. If you find one, do not use the device — contact Ledger Support immediately.
