The Official Companion Application for Managing Crypto Assets with Ledger Hardware Wallets
The Ledger Live App is the official software platform designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It provides a secure interface for buying, selling, sending, receiving, staking, and monitoring cryptocurrencies — all while keeping private keys safely stored offline inside your Ledger device.
Ledger Live is available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS and Android), offering flexibility and convenience without compromising security. The application acts as a bridge between blockchain networks and your hardware wallet, ensuring that every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device.
The dashboard provides a real-time overview of your entire crypto portfolio. Users can track balances, asset allocation, and price movements across supported cryptocurrencies. Visual charts help monitor performance trends and make informed decisions.
All transactions initiated through Ledger Live must be verified and confirmed on the connected Ledger hardware wallet. This ensures that even if your computer or smartphone is compromised, unauthorized transfers cannot occur.
Ledger Live supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and many ERC-20 tokens. Users can install individual blockchain apps directly onto their Ledger device for asset management.
Ledger Live integrates third-party providers that allow users to buy crypto with fiat currency, sell digital assets, or swap one cryptocurrency for another without transferring funds to centralized exchanges.
The app enables users to stake supported cryptocurrencies and earn rewards directly from within the secure Ledger environment. Staking options are available for selected networks such as Ethereum and Tezos.
Visit the official Ledger website to download the Ledger Live App. Install the application on your preferred device and launch it. Ensure that you are downloading from the official source to prevent phishing risks.
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet and follow the on-screen instructions. If the device is new, you will create a wallet and generate a 24-word recovery phrase directly on the hardware wallet screen.
Ledger Live performs a genuine check to confirm the authenticity of your Ledger device. This security measure protects users from counterfeit products.
Ledger hardware wallets contain certified Secure Element chips designed to resist physical tampering and advanced attacks. Ledger Live complements this by ensuring encrypted communication between device and software.
Private keys remain inside the Ledger device at all times. Ledger Live never stores private keys, ensuring complete user control.
Users must enter a PIN code on the hardware wallet to unlock it. Advanced users may also enable passphrase protection for an additional layer of security.
Select the account, enter the recipient address, specify the amount, and confirm the transaction on your Ledger device. Always verify the address displayed on the hardware wallet screen.
Generate a receiving address within Ledger Live and verify it on your device before sharing it with the sender.
Ledger Live allows you to install blockchain apps onto your Ledger device. This enables management of multiple cryptocurrencies securely.
Network congestion may delay confirmations. Check blockchain explorers for real-time updates.
Ensure sufficient storage space is available on your Ledger device. Remove unused apps if necessary.
The Ledger Live App provides a secure, feature-rich environment for managing cryptocurrency portfolios while maintaining full self-custody. By combining powerful software functionality with hardware wallet security, Ledger Live offers one of the safest ways to interact with blockchain networks.
