Ledger® Live App — Getting Started | official Ledger™ Live App

If you own a Ledger hardware wallet, the Ledger Live App is essential for managing your crypto assets. It serves as the secure bridge between your hardware wallet and the blockchain, providing a safe, user-friendly platform for all your transactions.

Created by Ledger, Ledger Live works seamlessly with:

  • Ledger Nano X

Together, the hardware and app create a robust ecosystem designed to keep private keys offline while allowing easy management of cryptocurrency portfolios.

Main Features of Ledger Live

Secure Transactions
Ledger Live prepares transactions, but signing is done entirely on your device. This ensures that private keys never leave the hardware wallet.

Portfolio Management
Track balances, account activity, and performance across multiple coins and accounts in one dashboard.

Crypto App Management
Install and update apps for different cryptocurrencies on your Ledger device directly from Ledger Live.

Integrated Buying, Selling, and Swapping
Perform exchanges securely without exposing private keys to third-party platforms.

Privacy and Security
Ledger Live does not store your recovery phrase. Users can also add passphrases for hidden wallets and use the app in combination with a secure network connection for enhanced privacy.

Desktop vs. Mobile

While the mobile version offers convenience, the desktop version is generally preferred for:

  • Better device recognition
  • Stronger protection against phishing attacks
  • Access to all Ledger Live features

Security Recommendations

  • Download Ledger Live only from the official site
  • Keep the app and firmware updated
  • Always verify transactions on the device screen
  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase
