Ledger® Live is the official software designed to help you manage your Ledger hardware wallet securely. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crypto enthusiast, Ledger® Live provides an intuitive interface for sending, receiving, and tracking your cryptocurrencies.
With security at its core, Ledger® Live ensures that your private keys never leave your device, offering peace of mind in every transaction.
Before using Ledger® Live, download the application only from the official Ledger website. Avoid third-party sources to prevent security risks.
Ledger® Live supports Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, Linux distributions, and mobile devices. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for a smooth experience.
When you start with a new Ledger device, you will be prompted to create a PIN and write down a 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is your ultimate backup—store it offline and never share it.
If you already own a Ledger device, you can restore it using the recovery phrase. This allows Ledger® Live to access your existing accounts and transaction history securely.
After initializing or restoring your device, connect it via USB (or Bluetooth on mobile) to log into Ledger® Live. The application will recognize your device and authenticate access securely without exposing your private keys.
Once logged in, you can view your portfolio, manage accounts, and install apps for supported cryptocurrencies.
The dashboard is the central hub in Ledger® Live. Key features include:
The clean layout allows quick access to your financial information while maintaining top-level security.
To add a new cryptocurrency account, navigate to "Accounts" and select "Add account." Choose the currency you want to manage, confirm the action on your Ledger device, and Ledger® Live will synchronize your wallet.
You can add multiple accounts, each with separate balances and transaction histories, while maintaining control over your portfolio.
Ledger® Live allows you to send and receive cryptocurrencies securely. To send funds, select the account, enter the recipient address, and confirm the transaction on your Ledger device.
Receiving funds is equally simple. Your Ledger device generates a secure address, ensuring that funds are always sent to the correct wallet.
Adhering to these guidelines ensures your assets remain safe from phishing attacks and other online threats.
Ledger® Live is a powerful, user-friendly platform that bridges the gap between hardware security and convenient crypto management. By following this guide, you can securely log in, manage multiple accounts, and execute transactions with confidence.
