Begin your Ledger hardware wallet setup with a clear, security-focused process. Connect your device, install Ledger Live, complete the guided checks, and prepare your wallet for managing supported digital assets.

Ledger.com/start is the starting point for preparing a Ledger hardware wallet. The setup process connects your device with the supporting Ledger software and helps you complete important security steps before using your wallet.
Ledger Live provides the software environment for interacting with a compatible Ledger device. From there, users can access supported accounts, monitor assets, receive cryptocurrency, send transactions, and review wallet activity.
The Ledger Start experience moves from software preparation to device connection and wallet security. Take your time at every stage and carefully review information shown on both the software and your Ledger hardware wallet.
Use the official Ledger software source and install Ledger Live for your supported desktop or mobile environment.

A Ledger hardware wallet is designed to keep important wallet operations protected through a dedicated device. Your software, device, recovery information, and personal decisions all remain important parts of the overall security process.
Download Ledger software through trusted official channels and be cautious with unexpected links, advertisements, messages, or third-party installers.
