What is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the companion desktop and mobile application for Ledger hardware wallets. It lets you manage accounts, send and receive supported cryptocurrencies, install apps on your device, and check portfolio value — all while keeping private keys offline on your Ledger device.
- Core Features
- Account management, secure transactions, portfolio overview, built-in exchange integrations, and device firmware updates.
- Security
- Private keys never leave the hardware wallet. Use official Ledger Live downloads, verify firmware prompts on-device, and protect your recovery phrase offline.
- Getting Started
- Download Ledger Live from the official source, initialize your Ledger device, create or restore an account, then add crypto accounts within the app.
- Best Practices
- Keep software updated, avoid phishing links, store your recovery phrase securely (preferably offline), and use a passphrase if you need extra segregation.
Ledger Live is designed to balance usability and security — giving beginners an approachable interface while enabling advanced users to manage multiple accounts safely.
