SELF-CUSTODY, WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK01 — 03

A GOOD PLACE TO BEGIN

Three steps.
More peace of mind.

A Ledger device helps you keep your private keys offline. Here’s the simple path from unboxing to ready.

01

Start at the source

Type ledger.com/start into your browser yourself. Confirm the address before you download anything.

Open the official start page
02

Follow device setup

Use the official instructions to initialize your device, choose a PIN, and install the companion app on a trusted computer or phone.

Take your time—there’s no rush.
03

Protect your recovery phrase

Write it down offline and keep it private. It is the master backup to your wallet—never share it with anyone.

Read the safety checklist

YOUR ASSETS, YOUR RULES

Designed for
self-custody.

Self-custody means you—not a platform—are responsible for your private keys. A hardware wallet is designed to help keep those keys separate from your internet-connected devices.

01 / OFFLINE KEYS

Keep your keys protected

Your private keys are secured by the device rather than stored as plain text on your computer.

✳
02 / INTENTIONAL APPROVAL

Review before you confirm

Check transaction details on your device screen, and only approve what you understand.

✳
03 / YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Stay in control

Your recovery phrase is yours alone. Keep it safe, offline, and out of every chat and website.

✳
THE GOLDEN
RULE ✳

One phrase. Total privacy.

A QUICK SECURITY CHECK

Your recovery phrase
is never for sharing.

No legitimate support agent needs it. No website needs it. Anyone asking for it is trying to gain access to your assets.

  • Never type your recovery phrase into a website, app, or computer.
  • Never share it with support staff or anyone contacting you first.
  • Bookmark official Ledger pages and check every URL carefully.
