Ledger Live is the official application for managing your Ledger hardware wallet and securely handling your cryptocurrency portfolio. With Ledger Live, you can easily track balances, install apps, send and receive crypto, and update your device — all from one intuitive interface.
Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a secure environment where users can manage their crypto assets without compromising on security. All critical operations — such as signing transactions — are handled directly on your Ledger device, keeping your private keys offline and safe.
Start by downloading Ledger Live for your operating system. Choose the correct version for desktop or mobile and install the app securely on your device.
When you launch the app, select the option that matches your status — whether you’re setting up a new Ledger device or restoring an existing one. Follow the on-screen steps to begin.
Use a USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X) to connect your device. Ledger Live will recognize your hardware wallet and guide you through pairing and verification.
If you’re creating a new wallet, your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it securely offline. If restoring, input your existing phrase carefully.
Protect your wallet with a unique PIN. This is required every time you connect your device.
Inside Ledger Live, go to "Accounts" and add your desired cryptocurrencies. The app will install the necessary apps on your hardware wallet and sync your balances.
Use the "Receive" tab to generate addresses and accept crypto securely. Use the "Send" tab to transfer assets — with confirmation on your device screen for security.
Ledger Live offers advanced features such as staking, swapping, buying/selling, and firmware updates. Everything is managed through the Ledger interface for a seamless experience.
Ledger Live makes managing your crypto portfolio simple, secure, and efficient. Whether you are new to crypto or a seasoned investor, the app provides everything you need to stay in full control of your digital assets. By starting with Ledger Live and following proper security steps, you ensure your cryptocurrency is protected at all times.
