Start Your Ledger Journey With Confidence
Ledger.com/Start gives new users a convenient route into the Ledger setup process. Instead of relying on unofficial downloads or third-party instructions, users can begin with Ledger's own environment and access the software intended to work with their Ledger device.
The setup experience is designed around a simple principle: take control of your digital assets while treating security as an essential part of every step. Before connecting a device, users should make sure they are visiting the genuine Ledger website and obtaining applications from official Ledger sources.
Prepare Before Setup
A smooth installation begins with preparation. Have your Ledger device available, use a trusted computer or mobile device, and make sure your internet connection is reliable. During setup, read every instruction displayed by the official software and hardware instead of rushing through prompts.
Install the Official Ledger Wallet App
Ledger Wallet is the companion application used to interact with supported Ledger devices and manage digital assets. The current official Ledger setup page provides downloads for supported desktop and mobile operating systems. Always confirm that the application comes from Ledger before entering sensitive information or connecting a device.
Protect Your Recovery Information
Your Secret Recovery Phrase deserves particular attention. It should be treated as highly sensitive information and kept private. Never publish it online, send it through email or messaging services, or enter it into an unfamiliar website. Anyone who obtains a recovery phrase may be able to gain access to associated assets.
Review Before You Continue
Good wallet security is built through small habits. Check website addresses carefully, avoid unexpected links, verify transaction information before approving it, and keep your device software updated. When something appears unusual, pause and consult official Ledger support documentation rather than guessing.
