Your crypto is only as safe as the system you use to store it. With Ledger, your private keys are stored offline, protected by a certified secure chip in your device — never exposed to the internet.
By starting at Ledger.com/start, you ensure:
✅ You’re setting up your device correctly
✅ You avoid phishing scams and fake apps
✅ Your recovery phrase is generated securely

Step-by-Step: What to Expect at Ledger.com/start
1. Unbox and Identify Your Device
Once you receive your Ledger Nano, Ledger.com/start helps you confirm it's genuine and hasn’t been tampered with. We guide you through unboxing, checking packaging seals, and turning the device on for the first time.
2. Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is your all-in-one desktop or mobile app for managing your crypto. At Ledger.com/start, you'll find the official download links — avoid fake versions and stay safe by downloading directly from Ledger.

3. Set Up Your PIN and Recovery Phrase
Security is everything. Ledger.com/start will guide you in:
