Secure your digital assets with confidence
Ledger.com/start introduces you to Ledger Live — a multifunctional dashboard for managing your digital assets. With Ledger Live, you can install apps, check your crypto balances, send and receive transactions, and stake assets securely. This companion software seamlessly works with your hardware wallet, whether you're using a Nano X, Nano S, or Nano S Plus.
The starting point for new users is Ledger Io Start, a clean and guided approach that simplifies device initialization. From setting up your 24-word recovery phrase to installing critical firmware updates, Ledger Io Start removes technical complexity for newcomers while preserving high-level security.
Once you’ve initialized your device, you can connect it to Ledger Live through Ledger.com/start. The software automatically detects your device and suggests relevant crypto apps based on your preferences. Whether you're into Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, apps can be installed with a single click.
Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger employees will never ask for it. Always verify URLs — make sure you're on Ledger.com/start before entering any sensitive data.
Logging into Ledger Live is straightforward. After connecting your device, you'll be prompted to enter your device PIN. The secure element within your Ledger device authorizes access to your accounts without exposing private keys online. This is the backbone of Ledger Login security.
Unlike browser extensions that can be compromised by phishing attacks or malware, Ledger Login keeps all sensitive operations on-device. No private keys are ever exposed, even during staking, token swaps, or smart contract interactions.
The Ledger Suite is more than just a wallet. It includes tools and services to empower users to fully own and manage their digital assets. Features include:
Recent upgrades to the Ledger Suite bring DeFi and NFT support to a whole new level. The interface now supports real-time floor prices, rarity filters, and token bridging directly within the app.
Ledger Bridge acts as a secure handshake layer between your browser and your Ledger device. It's useful for connecting with third-party decentralized applications (dApps) that require device authentication, such as Uniswap, OpenSea, or Compound.
Simply install the bridge plugin, connect your Ledger device, and allow access when prompted. The bridge ensures that your private key stays confined to your hardware wallet while still interacting with dApps via WebHID or U2F protocols.
First, ensure your USB cable is functional and you're using an official one. Restart Ledger Live and your device. If issues persist, try reinstalling the app or using a different port. Always verify you're on Ledger.com/start for troubleshooting steps.
