Start with Ledger: Secure your crypto in minutes
Ledger Start is designed for people who want banking-grade security without the complexity. Connect your devices, set a clear recovery process, and manage your digital assets from one clean interface. Whether you’re buying your first coin or safeguarding a long-term portfolio, Ledger gives you the tools to protect what matters.
Why choose Ledger?
Ledger combines offline key storage with simple, modern software to keep hackers out and you in control. Private keys never leave the device — they stay offline in a tamper-resistant environment — while Ledger Live keeps balances, transactions, and app updates in one place. The result: robust protection that fits your daily routine.
Quick setup — strong protection
Get set up in a few straightforward steps: unbox, initialize your device, write down your recovery phrase, and install the apps you need. Ledger guides you through each step with plain language and built-in verifications, so you can be confident your wallet is configured correctly.
Features that matter
- Cold storage with hardware-backed private keys
- One recovery phrase to restore access anytime
- Support for hundreds of cryptocurrencies and tokens
- Seamless integration with Ledger Live and partner apps
- Regular firmware updates and security audits
Ledger also supports advanced use cases like multi-account management, custom transaction signing, and third-party dApp connections — all while keeping your seed phrase offline and secure. Developers and power users can access advanced tooling, while beginners benefit from straightforward defaults.
Built for privacy and control
Your keys, your rules. Ledger never stores or transmits your private keys. Transactions are signed locally and broadcast through the network only after you review and confirm them on-device. That means your funds remain under your exclusive control, not held by an exchange or custodian.
Practical protection tips
Use a strong PIN and consider a passphrase for an extra layer of protection. Store your recovery phrase offline in a fireproof safe or bank deposit box. Avoid digital photos or cloud backups of your seed phrase.
When buying a device, always purchase from Ledger’s official store or authorized resellers to ensure authenticity. Ledger devices include tamper-evident packaging and firmware checks so you can verify integrity on first use. If anything looks off, contact support before initializing the device.
Support and reliability
Ledger offers documentation, step-by-step tutorials, and community forums that cover common scenarios like recovery, firmware updates, and connecting to decentralized applications. For account-specific issues, Ledger’s support team can guide you through non-sensitive troubleshooting steps.
