About Ledger Live

Ledger Live is a companion application built to interact with Ledger hardware wallets. It provides an intuitive user experience for managing supported cryptocurrencies, installing and updating apps on the hardware device, and signing transactions offline. Ledger Live's primary mission is to make self-custody accessible without compromising safety. It does this by combining clear UX, open standards, and simple flows for common operations.

Key capabilities

The app supports thousands of tokens and integrates with multiple services: fiat on-ramps for purchasing crypto, swap aggregators to find the best trade execution, and staking integrations for PoS networks. Accounts can be organized by coin, and advanced users will find features like custom derivation paths, transaction fee controls, and detailed transaction explorers.

Security and best practices

Security is twofold: the device (where private keys live) and the software (Ledger Live). The hardware device signs transactions inside a protected element, preventing exposure of sensitive material. Ledger Live communicates with the device through secure transport layers, and the app offers built-in integrity checks and firmware update notifications. Users should always verify addresses on their device screen, never share their recovery phrase, and install firmware and app updates from official sources.

Getting started

Create a new wallet or restore an existing one with your recovery phrase. Install coin-specific apps on the Ledger device and add accounts in Ledger Live to start sending and receiving assets.

Privacy

Ledger Live uses local account data and optional connectivity to services for prices and on-ramps. Personal information is limited and users retain custody of their keys.

Updates

Ledger Live regularly receives updates for new coins, UX improvements, and security patches. Check the app’s release notes and install updates promptly.

Who is Ledger Live for?

Ledger Live suits both newcomers and experienced users. New users gain a guided experience to set up a secure wallet and buy crypto. Advanced users benefit from direct hardware signing, multi-account management, and integrations with DeFi tools while keeping custody of their private keys.

Frequently asked questions

Does Ledger Live hold my crypto?

No — Ledger Live is an interface. Your crypto is stored on the blockchain and the private keys remain on your Ledger hardware device. Ledger as a company does not custody user funds.

Can I use Ledger Live without a Ledger device?

Ledger Live requires a hardware wallet for sending transactions that need signing; however, you can still open the app to browse portfolio features in read-only mode, but signing operations will be disabled.
