Why begin at Ledger.com/start?

Ledger's start page walks you through setting up a hardware or software wallet, connecting to supported exchanges and apps, and enabling features like price alerts and portfolio tracking. The process keeps security simple while giving you tools to trade and move crypto quickly.

Core features for everyday crypto users

• Trade: Connect your wallet to trading apps and decentralized exchanges to buy, sell, or swap tokens while keeping private keys secure.
• Send & Receive: Generate addresses to receive funds and sign outgoing transactions locally — your private keys never leave your device.
• Price Alerts: Set custom alerts for specific tokens or price thresholds so you never miss a trading opportunity.
• Portfolio Overview: See holdings and recent activity in one dashboard, helping you make informed decisions.

Getting started — 4 simple steps

2. Set up your wallet: Follow the guided setup for a Ledger device or install the Ledger mobile/desktop app if you prefer software integration.
3. Secure backup: Write down your recovery phrase and store it offline. This step is essential—never share it online.
4. Connect & enable features: Link a trading app or exchange, enable price alerts, and add the tokens you want to track or trade.

Quick tips for safe trading and transfers

Always verify recipient addresses before sending, enable two-factor authentication on linked services, and keep firmware and app software up to date. Use price alerts instead of continuous monitoring to reduce emotional trading decisions.
