Welcome to Ledger Start, your comprehensive guide to securing your cryptocurrency journey. In today's digital economy, protecting your assets has never been more critical. With Ledger, you're choosing the gold standard in hardware wallet security trusted by millions worldwide.
The Ledger.com/Start process is designed with both security and usability in mind. From the moment you unbox your device, you'll be guided through each step with clear instructions and security best practices. Our setup ensures that even if you're new to cryptocurrency, you can confidently secure your digital wealth.
During the Ledger Start process, you'll generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings. Unlike passwords that can be reset, if you lose this phrase, you permanently lose access to your assets. We emphasize writing it down by hand and storing it in multiple secure locations.
The security of your Ledger device revolves around this recovery phrase combined with your PIN. Even if your device is lost or stolen, your funds remain secure. Simply restore your recovery phrase on a new Ledger device to regain access to your accounts.
Once you complete the initial Ledger Start setup, you'll discover that your device is more than just a storage solution. Ledger hardware wallets enable you to interact securely with decentralized applications, participate in staking to earn rewards, manage NFTs, and connect to various DeFi platforms.
The Ledger Live application serves as your dashboard for managing all these activities. With regular updates and new features, we're constantly expanding what you can do with your Ledger device while maintaining our uncompromising security standards.
