01 THE BIG PICTURE
Not just an app.
A more intentional way to hold value.
In self-custody, the software you use is part of your security. Trezor Suite is the official companion app for Trezor hardware wallets, bringing asset management, portfolio tracking and privacy tools into one place.
Ledger.com/Start is Ledger’s official onboarding entry point. It guides you through device setup, recovery phrase backup and installing Ledger Live. Both are gateways to managing assets while keeping your private keys on your device.
THE PRINCIPLEOwn the keys. Understand the tools. Take your time.

After setup: Ledger Live lets you manage supported assets, staking and swaps. Availability varies by asset and region.

Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. Anyone who has it can take control of your assets. Never type it into a website or share it with anyone.
02 THE NON-NEGOTIABLES
Security isn’t a setting.
It’s a practice.
Different approaches, same essential principle: your private keys remain yours. Make every setup step count.
