Title & Purpose
This document is an HTML presentation template intended for Ledger.com/Start®. It uses a green-focused palette and demonstrates multiple formatting choices (colored hr, line breaks, different slide backgrounds) — useful for support articles, printable guides, and slideshow exports.
Use this template to structure long-form content. Each major section below is designed to be expanded into sub-sections, case studies, examples, and legal text to reach target word counts (e.g., 12,000 words). Insert breaks (<br>) where you need vertical spacing in short content blocks.
Core Concepts
Explain fundamentals: private keys, public keys, seed phrases, derivation paths, and custody models. Expand each subsection into long explanations and examples as needed.
Private key & seed phrase
The private key signs transactions. The seed phrase backs up keys. Cover vendor standards (BIP39, BIP44) and variations. Include secure storage practices, metal backups, and split-seed methods.
Custody models
Non-custodial vs custodial: responsibilities and trade-offs. Add decision matrices and sample policies for personal vs enterprise use.
Choosing a Device
Describe Ledger models, connectivity options, app capacities, and recommended uses.
Example line break usage above shows a short pause without creating a new paragraph.
Include comparison tables, price considerations, and enterprise alternatives. Add images and annotated screenshots where possible.
Step-by-step Setup Walkthrough
A conservative, secure flow — expand each step into sub-steps, screenshots, and troubleshooting notes.
- Verify official download and resources (Ledger.com/Start®).
- Power on device, create new wallet, write seed phrase.
- Install Ledger Live, add accounts, perform small test transaction.
// Example: brief pseudo-steps for a helper script // 1. verify ledger live checksum // 2. connect device and confirm firmware // 3. install required blockchain apps
Security Best Practices
Detailed coverage for individual and enterprise security: seed handling, passphrases, anti-phishing, firmware hygiene, and incident response.
Seed storage strategies
Discuss metal backups, geographically separated copies, and Shamir Secret Sharing approaches for enterprise. Add long-form content here to flesh out procedures and policies.
Phishing & social engineering
Provide case studies of real phishing attacks, detection patterns, reporting workflows, and sample training exercises. Include templates for reporting incidents.
Expandable Sections & Templates
Use the sections below as copy-paste blocks to expand into long-form content. Each item can be written into multiple subsections, examples, legal disclaimers, and step-by-step visuals to reach high word counts.
Training module templates
- Onboarding: unboxing, initial setup, verification, testnet exercises.
- Security training: phishing drills, firmware verification, device audits.
- Recovery drills: performing restores, verifying backups, incident simulations.
Checklists (printable)
- Purchase verification and unboxing
- Setup checklist and seed recording
- Post-setup test transactions and audits
Each checklist item can be expanded into paragraphs describing rationale, step-by-step instructions, images, and compliance references.
Next Steps & Contact
When you're ready: follow the setup checklist, perform test transactions, and consult official support. For enterprise or bulk deployments, prepare a security policy and contact Ledger Sales or Support.
