Why use Ledger Live?

Ledger Live combines the convenience of a modern portfolio app with the security model of a hardware wallet. Your private keys stay offline while you enjoy a seamless on‑chain experience.

Portfolio & Analytics

Track balances, P&L, allocation, and performance across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other assets. Real‑time market data helps you act with confidence.

Buy, Sell & Swap

On‑ramp from fiat, swap assets at competitive rates, and cash out when needed—all verified on your Ledger device before any transaction is broadcast.

Staking Rewards

Stake supported coins (e.g., ETH, SOL, ATOM) and compound rewards while maintaining self‑custody. View APRs, lockups, and payout history directly in the app.

DeFi & NFTs

Connect to Web3 apps and manage NFTs from a dedicated gallery. Sign with clear‑signing on device so you see what you approve—no blind signing.

Multi‑platform

Available on desktop and mobile with encrypted sync for your settings. Pair multiple Ledger devices and manage multiple accounts with ease.

Privacy by Design

No cloud seed storage or custodial access. Export or import your transaction history locally, and control analytics sharing from a single privacy panel.

How it works

Get set up in minutes. Confirm every operation on your hardware wallet for unmatched security.

1) Install

Download Ledger Live for your OS, install, then run an integrity check. The app will guide you to connect a Ledger device (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax, etc.).

2) Pair & Add Accounts

Connect your Ledger via USB or Bluetooth. Add accounts for BTC, ETH, and more. Ledger Live indexes your addresses and displays balances securely.

3) Manage & Grow

Send, receive, stake, and swap. Each transaction is summarized on‑screen and must be physically approved on your Ledger before it’s signed.

Security you can trust

Offline Keys

Your private keys never leave the Secure Element inside your Ledger device. Ledger Live simply communicates with it to request signatures.

See human‑readable transaction details right on the device screen. Verify amounts, addresses, network fees, and contract data before approving.

Open Source Components

Critical parts of the app and coin plugins are open for community review. Reproducible builds and checksums help verify what you install.

Best practices

Back up your recovery phrase

Write the 24‑word recovery phrase on paper or a metal backup and store it offline in multiple safe places. Never type or photograph it.

Verify addresses on device

Always compare the address shown in Ledger Live with the one displayed on your Ledger screen. Approve only if they match exactly.

Keep firmware & apps updated

Regular updates deliver new features and important security fixes. Only update from within Ledger Live while your device is connected.

FAQ

Is Ledger Live a custodial wallet?

No. Ledger Live is a companion application for self‑custody with a Ledger hardware wallet. You control the keys; the app never has access to your seed.

Do I need a Ledger device to use Ledger Live?

Some portfolio and watch‑only features work without a device, but sending transactions and securing assets require a Ledger hardware wallet.

Which assets are supported?

Ledger Live supports major networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others via coin apps. For additional chains and DeFi, you can connect supported wallets through Ledger Live.

What if I lose my device?

As long as your 24‑word recovery phrase is safe, you can restore your wallets on a new Ledger device and recover your funds.
