Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page that allows users to set up a Ledger hardware wallet while maintaining complete ownership of private keys. Unlike custodial wallets or exchanges, Ledger never stores or accesses user keys.
This self-custody approach ensures that only the wallet owner has the authority to approve transactions, making Ledger hardware wallets one of the safest solutions for cryptocurrency storage.
Private keys are the foundation of cryptocurrency ownership. If a third party controls the keys, they effectively control the assets. Ledger.com/start ensures private keys are generated securely within the device and never exposed to the internet.
During setup, cryptographic keys are created offline inside the secure element chip. Transactions must be manually approved on the device, preventing unauthorized access.
Ledger.com/start empowers users with complete control over their digital assets. By prioritizing private key ownership, Ledger delivers a secure and trustworthy foundation for managing cryptocurrency.
