Official Site® | Ledger.com/Start® | Getting Started with Ledger® Crypto Wallet

If you're new to cryptocurrency or just bought your Ledger® hardware wallet, you're already on the right track to protecting your digital assets. This guide will walk you through getting started with Ledger®—from setup to security—using the official site: Ledger.com/Start®.

🔒 Why Choose Ledger® for Crypto Security?

In the world of crypto, security is everything. Unlike software wallets or exchanges that keep your private keys online, Ledger® hardware wallets keep your keys offline—safe from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.

With Ledger®, you own your crypto. No third party. No risk of exchange failures. And everything starts at Ledger.com/Start®, the official setup and support page for all Ledger® products.

🧰 What You Need to Get Started

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano S Plus or Nano X)
  • A computer or smartphone with internet access
  • A USB cable (for Nano S Plus) or Bluetooth (for Nano X)
  • A pen and paper to write down your recovery phrase

Once you're ready, head to Ledger.com/Start®.
