Ledger Start — Your First Layer of Crypto Security

The phrase ledger start exists to pause users before they handle keys or funds and to force a security-first mindset from the beginning.

Why Ledger Start Exists

A ledger start phase creates a buffer between the moment you unbox your device and the moment you hold real capital on-chain. This gap reduces human error dramatically.

What Happens During Ledger Start

Firmware and authenticity checks
Device PIN and onboarding flow
Seed phrase generation & offline recording
Verification of official installation source

The Mental Rule of Ledger Start

Never connect a wallet that will hold value before you have created — and safely stored — the recovery phrase offline.

Write → Verify → Hide. In that order. Always.
