Ledger.com/Start® | Get started with Ledge Ledger Start

Welcome to the Ledger Start presentation template. This document is designed as a colorful, modular HTML presentation you can reuse or adapt to introduce users to Ledger, walk them through initial setup, highlight security best practices, and smoothly guide new users through the Crypto Onboarding process.

The three interlinking keywords used throughout this page (and used as anchors) are: Ledger Start, Secure Wallet, and Crypto Onboarding. They are intentionally repeated in headings h1 through h5 to demonstrate in-page interlinking for navigation and SEO-like internal structure.

Why Ledger? Ledger Start

Ledger offers hardware-backed protection and a clear trust model for safeguarding private keys. This section explains the core rationale for recommending Ledger and how a streamlined onboarding — the Crypto Onboarding — reduces user error and increases retention.

Key reasons to choose a hardware Secure Wallet

• Isolated signing: Private keys never touch your computer or phone.
• Recoverable seed phrase with industry best practices.
• Wide coin & token support with regularly updated firmware and apps.

Risk reduction

Using a hardware Secure Wallet reduces risk from phishing, malware, and remote attackers. Pairing device-originated confirmations with clear UI reduces mistakes during transactions.

User trust signals

Certifications, transparent firmware update notes, and community audits are part of the trust ecosystem. These signals help users feel confident during Crypto Onboarding.

3. Secure Wallet — Setup Secure Wallet

The following step-by-step guide outlines setting up your Ledger device safely. For clarity, headings include anchor links so you can jump to detailed subsections.

Step 1 — Unbox & verify

Verify tamper-evidence on packaging and only source your device from official channels such as Ledger.com/Start®. Confirm packaging seals and that no stickers or tamper indicators are missing.

Step 2 — Initialize device

Power up the device and choose to create a new wallet. The device will generate a seed phrase — write it down on the provided recovery sheet. This is the most important defensive step: keep this seed offline and never photograph it.

Step 3 — Confirm seed phrase

Ledger devices often ask you to confirm the seed phrase words. This ensures the words were captured correctly. Use the on-device interface to confirm — the device never transmits the seed.

Step 4 — Install Ledger Live app

Download and install Ledger Live from the official site. Use the app to manage accounts, install coin apps onto your device, and check firmware updates. Ledger Live is the recommended UX for managing your hardware Secure Wallet.

Step 5 — Add accounts

Use Ledger Live to add crypto accounts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Each account is derived from your seed; private keys remain stored on your device.

Security reminder

Never share your seed phrase. Ledger support will never ask for it. If anyone requests your recovery phrase, stop the process immediately.

4. Crypto Onboarding — Step-by-step Crypto Onboarding

Overview

Effective onboarding converts curiosity into confident usage. This Crypto Onboarding flow focuses on small steps: learn, secure, transact, and manage.

Learn

Brief, accessible learning modules help users understand private keys, addresses vs keys, and the importance of backups. Use visuals and interactive checks to assess comprehension.

Secure

Emphasize the physical security of the device, safe storage of the recovery phrase, and how to handle firmware updates. Show best practices in a single checklist.

Transact

Guide a user through a small test transaction (e.g., send 0.001 ETH). Use on-device prompts to confirm recipient addresses and amounts; teach them to verify the recipient on the device screen.

Manage

Help users add multiple accounts, create portfolios, and set notifications in Ledger Live. Show how to install/uninstall coin apps safely.

Onboarding checklist

1. Unbox & verify device authenticity.
2. Initialize & write recovery phrase offline.
3. Install Ledger Live & add accounts.
4. Send a small test transaction.
5. Enable extra safeguards (PIN, passphrase if desired).

5. Best Practices

Operational security

Keep firmware and Ledger Live updated. Use a separate email for crypto accounts where feasible. Avoid reusing recovery phrase paper in risky locations.

Advanced protection

Consider using a passphrase in addition to your seed phrase for plausible deniability or multiple wallets from one device. Document the exact passphrase storage policy — losing it means losing access.

Using the Secure Wallet safely

Treat the hardware device like a high-value instrument. Do not connect it to public machines unless necessary. Keep a secondary hardware device for cold storage if you manage significant holdings.

What to avoid

Never send seed words to anyone. Do not type seed words into a website. Avoid unverified third-party wallet integrations and unknown desktop applications.

6. Headings (H1–H5) Interlink Demo

This section demonstrates how the three keywords are reused across heading levels and linked internally using fragment identifiers. Use these patterns to create robust in-page navigation and to highlight important concepts repeatedly without redundancy.

Examples

H1: Ledger.com/Start® | Get started with Ledge — Primary entry point for Ledger Start users.
H2: Why Ledger? — Explains the value proposition of the Secure Wallet.
H3: Step 1 — Unbox & verify — Microcopy for initial steps in Crypto Onboarding.
H4: Step 2 — Initialize device — On-device flows for the Secure Wallet.
H5: Step 3 — Confirm seed phrase — Final confirmations for high-integrity onboarding.

This repeating pattern allows users to jump between high-level sections and the exact micro-step they need without losing context.

7. FAQ

Is Ledger the only option?

No — there are multiple hardware wallets on the market. Ledger focuses on a strong ecosystem, frequent firmware updates, and wide coin support. Evaluate options, but the core practices for Secure Wallet setup remain the same.

What if I lose my device?

If you lose the device but have the recovery seed, restore on a new device. If the seed is lost, recovery options are extremely limited — that’s why secure backup is critical.

Can I use multiple devices?

Yes. Many power users maintain a separate cold-storage device and a daily-use device. For high security, consider geographically separating backups.

8. Summary & Next Steps

Use this template as a launchpad. The essential pillars are: verify authenticity, protect your recovery phrase, and practice a small test transaction. Anchor the three keywords across your presentation to create predictable navigation: Ledger Start, Secure Wallet, and Crypto Onboarding.

Next steps

1. Personalize this template: replace copy with brand-specific language.
2. Localize content for your audience and translate microcopy for non-English users.
3. Create short videos for each micro-step to embed beneath the corresponding heading.
