Ledger Live
The official app to manage your crypto wallet securely. With Ledger Live, you can buy, sell, stake, swap, and grow your digital assets – all while keeping control of your private keys.
Why Ledger Live?
All-in-One Dashboard
Ledger Live consolidates all your crypto assets in one place. Track balances, monitor portfolio performance, and manage multiple accounts seamlessly.
Buy, Sell & Swap Securely
Through trusted partners integrated in Ledger Live, you can exchange assets without ever leaving the app. Your private keys never leave your device.
Stake & Earn Rewards
Ledger Live allows you to stake popular cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Tezos, and Polkadot, earning passive rewards while staying in control.
Bank-Grade Security
Combined with your Ledger hardware wallet, Ledger Live ensures that transactions are verified on-device, making it resistant to phishing or remote attacks.
Security First
Ledger Live is not just another crypto management app – it’s built with security as its foundation. Unlike web wallets or custodial services, Ledger Live works in tandem with your hardware wallet. This ensures your private keys are never exposed, even when you’re trading or staking.
- Transactions are confirmed on your Ledger device’s secure screen.
- Recovery phrases are stored offline – never on Ledger Live.
- End-to-end encryption protects communication between your device and the app.
How to Get Started with Ledger Live
Step 1: Download Ledger Live
Visit the official Ledger website and download Ledger Live for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android). Verify that you are on the official site to avoid downloading malware.
Step 2: Connect Your Ledger Device
Plug in your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax via USB or Bluetooth. Ledger Live will automatically detect your device and prompt you to unlock it using your PIN.
Step 3: Initialize and Secure
If your device is new, you’ll be guided to set up a PIN and note down your 24-word recovery phrase. Ledger Live provides a checklist to ensure you complete this step securely.
Step 4: Install Apps and Add Accounts
In the Ledger Live Manager section, install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Then add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or others directly into your portfolio view.
Step 5: Buy, Send, and Receive
With accounts set up, you can receive crypto by generating addresses verified on your device. To send crypto, enter recipient details in Ledger Live and confirm the transaction on your Ledger hardware wallet.
