🎉 New: Ledger Nano Gen5 - The most advanced hardware wallet yet | Discover Now →
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start – your official destination for beginning your cryptocurrency security journey. In today's digital age, protecting your valuable crypto assets has never been more critical. Ledger stands as the global leader in hardware wallet technology, trusted by over 8 million customers worldwide to safeguard their digital wealth. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps into cryptocurrency or an experienced investor looking to enhance your security infrastructure, Ledger Start provides everything you need to protect, manage, and grow your digital assets with confidence.
At the heart of Ledger's security ecosystem lies our revolutionary hardware wallet technology. Unlike software wallets that store your private keys online where they're vulnerable to hacking attempts, Ledger hardware wallets keep your keys completely offline in a certified secure chip – the same technology used in passports and credit cards. This innovative approach, known as "cold storage," ensures that your private keys never leave the device and are never exposed to potentially compromised computers or smartphones. When you choose Ledger, you're choosing bank-grade security that has been independently verified by security experts worldwide.
Getting started with Ledger is remarkably simple and intuitive. First, visit Ledger.com/Start to download Ledger Live, our comprehensive companion application available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Ledger Live serves as your command center for managing all your crypto assets, providing real-time portfolio tracking, secure transactions, and direct access to thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens. The setup process is designed to be user-friendly, guiding you through each step with clear instructions and helpful tips. Within minutes, you'll have your hardware wallet configured and ready to receive your first cryptocurrency deposit.
One of Ledger's greatest strengths is its extensive cryptocurrency support. Manage over 5,500 different digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Solana, and countless ERC-20 tokens. Whether you're investing in established cryptocurrencies or exploring emerging DeFi projects and NFTs, Ledger provides seamless support for your entire portfolio. The Ledger Live platform also enables you to stake your cryptocurrencies directly from the app, earning passive rewards while maintaining complete control of your assets – no need to send your coins to third-party staking services.
Security is embedded in every aspect of the Ledger experience. Each transaction requires physical confirmation on your device, meaning that even if your computer is infected with malware, hackers cannot access your funds. Your recovery phrase – a 24-word backup of your wallet – is generated offline during setup and should be written down and stored securely. This recovery phrase is your ultimate backup; even if your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore all your assets using this phrase on a new device. Ledger never has access to your recovery phrase or private keys, ensuring you maintain complete sovereignty over your cryptocurrency.
Beyond security, Ledger offers an expanding ecosystem of features designed to enhance your crypto experience. Buy cryptocurrency directly through Ledger Live using our trusted partners, swap between different cryptocurrencies without leaving the app, and explore the growing world of Web3 applications safely through our secure connection feature.
