🛠️ “Hands‑On Crypto Control: Set Up via Ledger.com/Start®”

Are you ready to truly take charge of your crypto? Ledger.com/Start® is your command center to set up a secure, hardware-controlled wallet — no middlemen, no vulnerabilities.

Step 1: Select and Download

On Ledger.com/Start®, pick your device model and download Ledger Live (for desktop or mobile). Official versions only — direct from Ledger.

Step 2: Connect & Inspect

Unbox your device, connect it, and let Ledger Live ensure authenticity via firmware verification — a tamper‑proof guarantee.

Step 3: Firmware & Initialization

Ledger Live handles firmware installation automatically. Then, you choose “Initialize as new device,” generating your private keys and recovery phrase.

Step 4: PIN & Recovery

Set a unique PIN. Write down your 24‑word recovery phrase offline — never digitally.

Step 5: Add Accounts

Configure which cryptocurrencies to manage in Ledger Live. Supported assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Polkadot, and thousands more.

Step 6: Explore Features

Ledger Live offers staking, portfolio tracking, Swap & Buy crypto integration, and access to decentralized finance.

Why It’s Critical

Protecting your seed phrase offline and verifying firmware integrity keeps your assets safe from remote hacks.
Your device never transmits private keys — it signs transactions offline, then sends only signed transactions via Ledger Live.
