Get Started Safely at Ledger.com/start

Initialize your Ledger hardware wallet, run an authentic cryptographic device integrity check, and set up your private recovery phrase through the verified Ledger Live ecosystem.

STEP 01

Download Ledger Live

Always access Ledger.com/start directly in your browser address bar. Download the genuine Ledger Live software for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.

STEP 02

Genuine Check & PIN

Connect your device via USB. The secure element executes a cryptographic mutual-authentication test confirming your device hasn't been tampered with or pre-configured.

Offline 24-Word Phrase

Generate your unique 24 secret recovery words directly on the physical hardware screen. Write them offline on your Recovery Sheet; never photograph or store them online.

Vital Security Rule: Ledger Never Requests Your 24 Words Online

Authentic setup via Ledger.com/start only occurs on the physical device screen and the official Ledger Live app. Never enter your 24 words into any browser, web form, email, or third-party extension.
