A secure platform to manage, track, and optimize your digital assets from a single interface
Ledger Live is the official software platform for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to provide users with a secure, intuitive interface to manage multiple cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live enables users to access account balances, send and receive assets, and monitor portfolio performance, all while keeping private keys safely stored offline on their hardware device.
Unlike traditional wallets or online exchanges, Ledger Live does not expose sensitive information to the internet. The software communicates only with your Ledger hardware device, which handles all private key operations locally.
Ledger Live is available for both desktop and mobile devices, allowing users to manage crypto assets on the go without compromising security. The platform supports a growing number of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens.
Ledger Live consolidates all your crypto holdings into a single dashboard. Users can view balances, transactions, and account activity without switching between multiple wallets or applications.
The platform provides real-time updates on asset values, helping users track portfolio performance and make informed decisions. Historical data and graphical representations make monitoring simple and clear.
Every transaction initiated through Ledger Live requires confirmation on the connected Ledger device. This ensures that private keys never leave the hardware wallet, preventing unauthorized access or theft.
Ledger Live supports a wide range of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, and many ERC-20 tokens. Users can easily add or remove accounts and manage assets securely from one interface.
For supported blockchains, Ledger Live offers staking features, allowing users to earn rewards directly from the platform. Staking can be done securely without exposing private keys to external platforms.
Security is the cornerstone of Ledger Live. Because it integrates directly with Ledger hardware wallets, sensitive data remains protected offline. Here are best practices to maintain security:
Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger.com/start page. Avoid third-party websites or unofficial links, as these may contain malicious software.
Ensure your Ledger device is genuine by checking for security seals and using official firmware updates. Ledger Live provides built-in verification tools to confirm device authenticity.
Never store recovery phrases digitally. Physical offline storage in a secure location is recommended. Ledger Live will never ask for your recovery phrase digitally.
All transactions must be confirmed on the Ledger hardware device. This step ensures that even if your computer is compromised, unauthorized transactions cannot occur.
Keep both Ledger Live and your hardware wallet firmware up to date. Updates include security improvements and support for new assets and blockchain features.
Begin by visiting Ledger.com/start to download Ledger Live. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your device and follow the guided setup. The platform will help you configure accounts, install applications for supported cryptocurrencies, and secure your PIN.
Once setup is complete, Ledger Live serves as the central hub for all crypto management tasks. Users can send and receive funds, track portfolio performance, stake eligible tokens, and update device firmware, all in a secure and streamlined manner.
The intuitive design and step-by-step guidance make Ledger Live suitable for both beginners and experienced cryptocurrency users.
