Overview — What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a secure crypto management app that pairs with Ledger hardware wallets to keep your private keys offline while letting you manage your crypto portfolio with convenience. The Ledger Live app is available on desktop and mobile and supports hundreds of coins and tokens.

Why use Ledger Live for secure crypto management?

Ledger Live centralizes portfolio tracking, transaction signing, firmware updates and third-party integrations into one polished interface. When you use Ledger Live with a Ledger hardware device the app prepares transactions while private keys remain isolated on the device — a core principle of safe crypto custody.

Getting started — install Ledger Live

Download the official Ledger Live app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS or Android. Install, open the app, and choose whether you are setting up a new Ledger device or restoring from an existing recovery phrase. Always verify checksums and download only from official Ledger domains to avoid malicious copies.

Quick setup steps

  1. Launch Ledger Live and create a new profile.
  2. Connect your Ledger device (Nano X, Nano S or compatible).
  3. Follow on-device prompts to create or restore your wallet.
  4. Install coin apps and add accounts in Ledger Live.
  5. Start monitoring balances and performing transactions.

Core features of the Ledger Live app

Portfolio Dashboard

See real-time balances, market value, and historical performance for all linked accounts. Ledger Live helps you visualize holdings and allocation at a glance.

Send & Receive

Create transactions in Ledger Live and confirm them on your Ledger device. This ensures the private key never leaves the hardware wallet.

Firmware & App Management

Update firmware and install coin applications through Ledger Live — keeping your device up to date with the latest security patches.

Integrations

Connect Ledger Live to vetted third-party services for staking, DeFi access and swaps — while maintaining key custody on the device.

Security best practices

Security is the primary reason to choose a hardware wallet + Ledger Live. Follow these tried-and-tested guidelines:

  • Always verify downloads: Download Ledger Live only from official Ledger domains and confirm file integrity.
  • Keep recovery seed offline: Your recovery phrase is the only backup for your private keys — store it on a secure medium and never take photos.
  • Confirm transactions on-device: Always verify the recipient and amount on your Ledger device display before approving.
  • Use PIN and passphrase: Protect your device with a PIN and consider an optional passphrase for additional account separation.
  • Keep firmware current: Apply firmware updates promptly via Ledger Live to receive security fixes.

Troubleshooting common issues

If Ledger Live does not detect your device, try the following:

  1. Reconnect the USB cable and try a different port.
  2. Restart Ledger Live and your computer or mobile device.
  3. Ensure Ledger Bridge / OS drivers are up to date (desktop).
  4. Temporarily disable interfering browser extensions or security software.
  5. Consult official documentation or Ledger support if the problem persists.

Privacy and data handling

Ledger Live queries public blockchain data and displays balances for addresses associated with your accounts. The app does not transmit private keys or recovery phrases. Review privacy settings and optional telemetry preferences inside the app to control data sharing.

How Ledger Live helps with daily crypto tasks

The Ledger Live app is built for regular use — from quick balance checks to broadcasting signed transactions. Use Ledger Live to:

  • Check portfolio performance each morning.
  • Send payments with confidence using on-device confirmation.
  • Stake supported assets through integrated partners.
