A complete, step-by-step presentation-style guide to setting up your Ledger® hardware wallet, securing your digital assets, and confidently navigating the future of crypto ownership.
Ledger® has become a cornerstone of modern digital asset security, empowering users to take complete control of their cryptocurrency through hardware-based protection. Unlike online wallets or centralized exchanges, Ledger devices keep your private keys offline, dramatically reducing exposure to hacks, phishing attempts, and unauthorized access.
The official onboarding gateway, Ledger.com/Start™, is designed to guide users through every phase of setup, from unboxing to asset management. Whether you’re new to crypto or transitioning from software wallets, Ledger provides a secure, user-friendly experience built for long-term confidence.
Ledger devices store private keys in a secure element chip, isolated from the internet and protected from malware.
Ledger wallets use CC EAL5+ certified chips, the same standard trusted by banks and governments.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, and thousands of altcoins from a single secure platform.
Ledger’s ecosystem is designed around a simple principle: powerful security should not feel complicated. The clean interface of Ledger Live, combined with physical confirmation buttons on the hardware device, ensures every transaction is intentional and verifiable.
This design approach eliminates silent approvals, hidden permissions, and background processes that plague online wallets. Every action requires your explicit confirmation.
