The trusted gateway to securely manage, buy, sell, and grow your crypto assets
Ledger® Live is the official companion application designed for Ledger hardware wallets, offering users a secure and intuitive platform to manage their digital assets. Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, Ledger® Live simplifies crypto management while maintaining industry-leading security standards.
The app allows users to store, send, receive, buy, sell, stake, and swap cryptocurrencies directly from their Ledger device. By keeping private keys offline, Ledger® Live ensures that your digital assets remain protected against online threats.
Ledger® Live stands out as a trusted solution because it combines ease of use with unmatched security. Unlike software-only wallets, Ledger® Live works in tandem with Ledger hardware wallets to give users full control over their funds.
Setting up Ledger® Live is a straightforward process designed with user experience in mind. Follow these steps to begin your secure crypto journey.
Download the official Ledger® Live app from the authorized Ledger website. The application is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Always verify the source to avoid counterfeit or malicious software.
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device. Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device, set a secure PIN, and write down your recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your wallet and must be stored safely offline.
Once your device is set up, open Ledger® Live and connect it to your hardware wallet. The app will verify your device’s authenticity and guide you through the process of adding crypto accounts.
Ledger® Live provides a comprehensive dashboard where you can monitor your cryptocurrency portfolio in real time. The interface displays balances, price movements, and transaction history across all supported assets.
Sending and receiving crypto through Ledger® Live is both simple and secure. Each transaction must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, preventing unauthorized transfers.
Ledger® Live integrates trusted third-party providers, allowing users to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app. This eliminates the need to transfer assets to external platforms, reducing exposure to risk.
Ledger® Live enables users to stake supported cryptocurrencies and earn rewards while maintaining full control of their private keys. Staking allows you to participate in blockchain networks and generate passive income.
Unlike custodial staking services, Ledger® Live ensures that your assets never leave your wallet, offering both profitability and peace of mind.
Security is the foundation of Ledger® Live. The app works alongside Ledger’s certified secure element chip, which isolates private keys from the internet. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on the device, eliminating remote attack vectors.
To make the most of Ledger® Live, new users should follow best practices such as regularly updating the app, verifying transaction details, and never sharing their recovery phrase with anyone.
Ledger® Live is designed to grow with you. As you gain confidence, you can explore advanced features such as DeFi access, NFT management, and multi-account tracking.
