The Essential Companion for Your Hardware Wallet
Ledger Live is the essential desktop and mobile application designed to securely manage your cryptocurrencies in conjunction with your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano X, or Nano S Plus). It provides a smooth, intuitive interface while ensuring your crucial private keys remain physically isolated and offline in the hardware device. This separation of interface and security is the core principle that makes Ledger Live the gold standard in crypto asset management.
Unmatched Security
All transactions are signed offline on your Ledger device, invisible to external threats.
Intuitive Interface
Seamless design for real-time portfolio tracking and asset management, even for beginners.
Ecosystem Access
Access staking, swapping, and DeFi services directly within the application.
Manage Everything in One Secure Place
Real-Time Portfolio Tracking
Visualize your entire crypto wealth across multiple assets and chains. Ledger Live offers dynamic, real-time valuation of your holdings in your local fiat currency. Track performance over various timeframes (24H, Week, Month, Year) with integrated charts and detailed transaction history. This holistic view ensures you always have a clear understanding of your financial position without compromising security by relying on third-party services.
Send and Receive with Confidence
Perform secure transfers with a clear, step-by-step process. When sending, your Ledger device prompts you to verify the receiving address on its trusted screen—a critical feature that prevents malware from altering the destination address on your computer. Receiving funds is equally secure, allowing you to generate and share public addresses knowing your private keys are safe.
Install and Manage Apps
Use the Ledger Live Manager section to install the required application components (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, etc.) directly onto your hardware device. This process is seamless and ensures you are always running the latest, genuine Ledger-verified firmware and app versions. Managing your device's storage capacity and ensuring compatibility has never been easier.
Security: The Ledger Difference
The Ledger Live software never accesses your private keys. The application acts as a secure window to view your balances and create transaction requests, but the cryptographic signing (the action that moves funds) is *always* performed by the Secure Element chip inside your Ledger device. This physical barrier eliminates risks associated with typical software wallets.
Genuine Check: Ensuring Authenticity
When you first set up Ledger Live with your device, the application performs a 'Genuine Check.' This cryptographic challenge ensures that your hardware wallet is a legitimate Ledger product and has not been tampered with or compromised. This critical step guarantees a verifiable chain of trust from the manufacturer to your desktop.
Your Private Keys Stay Offline
The 24-word recovery phrase (Seed Phrase) is the master key. This phrase is *never* entered into Ledger Live, nor is it ever exposed to your connected computer or smartphone. It is only written down and stored offline in a safe physical location, ensuring immunity against online attacks like phishing or keyloggers.
