A BETTER WAY TO BEGIN

Security isn’t a setting you switch on later. It starts with the first step.

THREE STEPS. A STRONGER START.

Make it yours,
from the start.

Stay on the official path from first connection to your first account. Take your time, follow the checks, and keep your recovery phrase private.

01

Connect your device

Visit Ledger.com/start and follow the instructions for your device. Download Ledger Wallet only from Ledger’s official page.

02

Secure your phrase

Write your recovery phrase on paper and store it somewhere private. Never photograph it, type it online, or share it.

ONLY YOU SHOULD KNOW IT
03

Explore with confidence

Complete the genuine-device check, add your accounts, then take a moment to explore the tools available in Ledger Wallet.

Peace of mind
is part of the setup.

Your Ledger device is designed to keep your private keys offline, away from internet-connected devices. You approve sensitive actions directly on the device, so you can verify what you’re signing.

Self-custody also means responsibility. Your 24-word recovery phrase is the backup to your wallet: keep it private, offline, and somewhere only you can access. Ledger will never ask you to reveal it.

GOOD QUESTIONS, CLEAR ANSWERS

Before you
get going.

A safer start is an informed one. Here are a few things worth knowing.

01What is Ledger.com/start?

Ledger.com/start is the official place to begin setting up a Ledger device. Follow the guided steps to download Ledger Wallet, connect your device, and learn how to protect your recovery phrase before managing your crypto.

02Do I need to create an account or share my recovery phrase?

Your recovery phrase belongs to you. Never share it with anyone, including Ledger support, and never enter it into a website or app. A Ledger device keeps your private keys offline; you remain in control of your assets.

03Which app should I install?

Use Ledger Wallet, formerly Ledger Live, from the official Ledger download page. Check the address carefully and avoid links from unsolicited messages, search ads, or unofficial app stores.

04How long does setup take?

Most people can get through the essentials in a few minutes. Take your time with each security check, write your recovery phrase down offline, and complete the genuine-device verification before adding accounts.

05What if I need more help?

Visit Ledger’s official Help Center for step-by-step guidance and troubleshooting. Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. If anyone does, stop: it is a scam.
