Start Your Ledger® Wallet Safely
Ledger.com/Start focuses on first-time device initialization. Unlike software wallets, the Ledger® device generates and stores private keys within secure hardware, keeping them isolated from online environments.
The setup flow encourages users to read carefully, verify device prompts, and understand each step rather than rushing through configuration.
Key Setup Principles
Secure Element Protection
Sensitive cryptographic operations occur inside a protected chip, designed to resist tampering and unauthorized access.
Recovery Responsibility
Recovery information is created during setup and must be stored offline. Ownership remains entirely with the user.
On-Device Verification
Important actions are confirmed on the hardware screen, ensuring transparency and user awareness.
How Ledger.com/Start Works
This page acts as a structured guide rather than a traditional login system. It connects users to the setup environment while keeping critical decisions visible and deliberate.
The separation between information and action panels helps prevent accidental approvals and reinforces trust.
Preparation & Best Practices
Use a trusted computer, avoid public networks, and allow enough time to complete setup without interruptions. Security is built through careful attention, not speed.
Treat recovery information as a physical asset. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.
