What Is Ledger® Live?

Ledger Live is a secure application developed by Ledger that connects to your Ledger hardware wallet and allows you to manage thousands of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and NFTs all in one place.

You can use Ledger Live to:

• Check your balances and transaction history
• Send and receive crypto
• Buy, sell, and swap assets
• Stake coins and earn rewards
• Manage NFTs
• Access DeFi and Web3 platforms

The key difference? All transactions are verified on your Ledger device, keeping your private keys and funds safe from hackers.

Ledger Live: Getting Started

To start using Ledger Live, you’ll need a Ledger device (Nano S Plus or Nano X), a computer or smartphone, and a secure internet connection.

Step 1: Download Ledger Live

Visit the official website: 👉 https://www.ledger.com/start

Choose your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and download the official version. Do not use unofficial sources — your crypto security depends on it.

Step 2: Install and Launch the App

Follow the on-screen instructions to install the app. Once installed, open Ledger Live.

Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger Device

If you are using a new Ledger wallet:

• Plug it into your computer or pair it via Bluetooth (Nano X only)
• Choose a strong PIN code
• Write down your 24-word recovery phrase
• Confirm your recovery phrase
• Run a genuine check to confirm the device is authentic

Step 4: Create Accounts in Ledger Live

Once your device is set up and connected, you can:

• Install crypto apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
• Add accounts for each crypto you want to manage
• View your portfolio and track real-time balances

Ledger Live: Login Explained

Ledger Live does not require a traditional username/password login. Instead, access is tied to:

• Your physical Ledger device
• Your PIN code
• Your recovery phrase (used only for recovery)

Every time you perform a transaction, you'll need to confirm it directly on your Ledger hardware device. This ensures maximum security — even if your computer or phone is compromised.

Optional: You can add password protection to the Ledger Live app to prevent unauthorized access to your portfolio data.

Key Features After Setup

Manage 5,000+ Assets

Ledger Live supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, and thousands of ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens. You can monitor your portfolio, track value changes, and view your complete transaction history.

Buy and Sell Crypto

Ledger Live integrates with partners like MoonPay, Transak, and Coinify to let you buy crypto with a debit card, credit card, or bank transfer — right from the app.

Swap Cryptocurrencies

Exchange one crypto for another securely through swap providers within the app. You maintain full custody — your keys never leave your device.
