Overview

Ledger Live® is a desktop and mobile application built to work with Ledger hardware wallets (such as Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, and Stax). The app delivers a cohesive experience for portfolio tracking, transaction management, staking, swaps, and integrations with decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) platforms — all while ensuring private keys remain stored on your Ledger device.

Core features

  • Secure account management: Add and organize multiple accounts across supported blockchains.
  • Portfolio overview: Real-time valuation and historical performance analytics.
  • Built-in transactions: Send, receive, and exchange assets without exposing private keys.
  • Staking & rewards: Stake supported assets directly and track rewards inside the app.
  • DeFi and NFT integrations: Connect safely to select dApps using Ledger Connect and third-party integrations.

How Ledger Live® works

Ledger Live® follows an offline-first security model: transaction data is prepared in the app, but the critical signing step happens on your Ledger hardware device. This design ensures that private keys never touch your computer or phone. Ledger Live® provides the interface and connectivity while the hardware wallet acts as the secure vault.

Getting started

  1. Download Ledger Live® from the official page: Ledger Live Download.
  2. Install the app for your platform and follow the initial setup guide.
  3. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet and unlock it using your PIN.
  4. Add accounts for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage and install required apps from the Manager.
  5. Begin managing your portfolio — send, receive, stake, or connect to supported dApps.

Security best practices

  • Always download Ledger Live® from Ledger.com.
  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase; Ledger will never ask for it.
  • Verify each transaction on your hardware device before confirming.
  • Keep firmware and Ledger Live® updated to protect against known vulnerabilities.
