The official application to securely manage your Ledger hardware wallet
Ledger Live is the official software application designed to manage your Ledger hardware wallet and all associated cryptocurrencies. It provides a secure, user-friendly interface to monitor your portfolio, send and receive digital assets, install coin apps, and perform firmware updates—all while keeping your private keys safely offline.
Ledger Live is the central hub for managing your Ledger device. Unlike online wallets, Ledger Live ensures that private keys never leave your hardware wallet, making it one of the safest ways to access and control your cryptocurrencies. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices.
Ledger Live connects to your Ledger hardware wallet via USB (or Bluetooth for Ledger Nano X). When performing any action, the application sends unsigned transaction data to the device, which must be physically confirmed on the Ledger screen. This ensures that private keys remain isolated from the internet, protecting you against malware and phishing attacks.
Ledger Live also communicates with the blockchain to provide real-time account balances and transaction histories, giving you complete control of your assets in one interface.
Ledger Live supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many ERC-20 tokens. The number of supported coins continues to expand through app updates in Ledger Live, allowing users to manage multiple assets securely from a single platform.
Security is a core focus of Ledger Live. All critical actions, including sending transactions and installing coin apps, require device confirmation. Ledger Live never stores your private keys on your computer or mobile device.
1. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device.
2. Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website.
3. Open the application and follow the setup guide.
4. Create or restore an account using your recovery phrase.

6. Begin sending, receiving, and tracking your assets securely.
Ledger Live provides the most secure and convenient way to manage a hardware wallet. It ensures full control of your funds, minimizes exposure to online threats, and allows users to efficiently track and manage multiple cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live combines simplicity and security, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
Ledger Live is an essential tool for anyone using a Ledger hardware wallet.
