Ledger Live — Your Trusted App for Full Control of Your Ledger Wallet
Your Trusted App for Full Control of Your Ledger Wallet
Ledger Live is the official application created to help users manage, track, and secure their cryptocurrency holdings with their Ledger hardware wallet. Designed for both beginners and experienced users, the app allows you to monitor balances, manage accounts, sign transactions, interact with Web3 apps, and explore supported networks—all from one secure, unified interface.
Ledger Live works seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets to deliver a security-first experience. Your private keys always remain inside the hardware device, ensuring that your sensitive data never leaves secure, offline storage. Every action that requires permissions—such as sending funds, confirming transactions, or updating firmware—must be physically approved on your Ledger device.
This architecture minimizes the risk of unauthorized access, malware interference, and phishing attempts. Ledger Live simply acts as a safe interface that communicates with your hardware wallet while keeping your keys fully protected.
With Ledger Live, you can view your entire crypto portfolio in a clear, organized format. The app supports real-time balance updates, transaction history, multi-asset views, and price charts. Whether you hold two assets or hundreds, Ledger Live makes it easy to monitor performance and track your holdings securely.
You can also label transactions, organize accounts, and customize your dashboard for streamlined portfolio management.
Ledger Live supports a wide variety of networks and tokens, including major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of ERC-20 and other supported assets. The application is regularly updated to ensure compatibility with new networks and advancements in blockchain ecosystems.
The built-in app catalog allows you to install and manage blockchain apps on your Ledger device as needed, keeping things organized and efficient.
Ledger Live integrates secure, verified third-party services that make it possible to buy, sell, or swap assets directly from within the application. These services operate without exposing your private keys—instead, the hardware wallet confirms all operations on-device.
This simplifies your workflow and ensures that transactions remain secure from start to finish.
Ledger Live enables secure interactions with decentralized applications. When connecting to Web3 platforms, your Ledger device remains the gatekeeper that signs smart-contract interactions and verifies permissions. This allows you to explore DeFi, NFTs, staking, and more while retaining hardware-level protection.
Setting up Ledger Live is simple. Download the application for your preferred operating system, connect your Ledger device, and follow the on-screen setup steps. The guided onboarding ensures your device is genuine, your firmware is up-to-date, and your recovery phrase is safely stored.
The interface walks you through account creation, app installation, and portfolio organization, making the onboarding experience smooth even for new users.
Ledger Live receives frequent updates that improve features, add new networks, enhance security, and provide additional tools for managing your assets. Ledger offers extensive documentation, tutorials, and support channels to help you resolve issues or explore more advanced capabilities.
Community involvement and transparency help ensure trust, reliability, and continuous improvement of the platform.
