Ledger Live is the official companion software for Ledger® hardware wallets, providing a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency assets. This powerful application allows you to check your balances, send and receive crypto, grow your assets through staking, and even purchase cryptocurrencies directly—all while your private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger® hardware device.
Ledger Live offers a comprehensive suite of features including real-time portfolio tracking, transaction history, coin-specific operations, and access to decentralized applications. The application synchronizes with your Ledger® device to provide a seamless yet secure experience, ensuring your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
To begin using Ledger Live, you'll need to set up your Ledger® hardware wallet and install the application on your preferred device.
Visit Ledger.com/start for detailed instructions on setting up your Ledger® device and installing Ledger Live. The process involves initializing your device, setting up a PIN, recording your recovery phrase, and installing the Ledger Live application.
Ledger Live is available as Ledger Live Desktop for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, and as a Ledger Live App for iOS and Android mobile devices. Both versions offer similar functionality, allowing you to manage your crypto portfolio on the go or from your desktop.
The Ledger login process is designed with security as the top priority. Unlike traditional software wallets, Ledger Live doesn't store your private keys on your computer or phone. Instead, you connect your Ledger® hardware device to authenticate transactions and access your accounts.
To access your cryptocurrency holdings, you simply connect your Ledger® device to your computer or pair it with your mobile device via Bluetooth (for Ledger Nano X). The Ledger Live login process requires physical confirmation on your hardware device for all transactions, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain secure.
Is Ledger Live free to use?
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. You only need to purchase a Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax) to secure your assets.
Can I use Ledger Live without a Ledger® device?
No, Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with Ledger® hardware wallets. The application requires a connected device to access and manage your cryptocurrency accounts.
How do I update Ledger Live?
Ledger Live will notify you when updates are available. You can download the latest version directly from the application or from the official Ledger website.
What cryptocurrencies are supported in Ledger Live?
Ledger Live supports over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, and many ERC-20 tokens. The list continues to grow with regular updates.
Is Ledger Live available on mobile devices?
Yes, Ledger Live is available as a mobile app for both iOS and Android devices. The mobile app allows you to manage your crypto on the go when paired with a Bluetooth-enabled Ledger Nano X or Ledger Stax.
How secure is the Ledger Live login process?
The login process is extremely secure as it requires physical access to your Ledger® device to confirm all transactions. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, making Ledger Live resistant to computer-based attacks.
