Lédger® Live — Secure Crypto Management Made Simple
Lédger® Live — Secure Crypto Management Made Simple
Lédger® Live, now officially branded Ledger Wallet, is the companion application designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a convenient interface for viewing portfolios, managing supported crypto assets, sending and receiving transactions, and accessing selected Web3 and DeFi services. Ledger describes the current application as a self-custody platform available across desktop and mobile devices.
Lédger® Live was developed to make hardware-wallet management easier for beginners and experienced cryptocurrency users. The application works together with a Ledger hardware device, while private keys remain protected by the hardware signer rather than being exposed to the connected computer or phone.
Portfolio Management: View supported crypto accounts and monitor balances.
Send and Receive: Manage transactions through the application while confirming important details on your Ledger device.
Buy and Swap: Access supported purchasing and exchange services from within the ecosystem.
Staking: Use available staking services for eligible assets.
Web3 Access: Connect with supported decentralized applications and services.
Desktop and Mobile: Ledger Wallet is available for major desktop and mobile platforms.
Start from Ledger's official website rather than advertisements, unofficial download pages, or links received through messages. This helps reduce the risk of installing a fraudulent application.
Choose the version appropriate for your operating system. Ledger's official download page provides versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Install the application using the instructions displayed on your device. After installation, launch Ledger Wallet and follow the onboarding instructions.
Connect your compatible Ledger hardware wallet and unlock it using your device PIN. Follow the application's instructions to establish the connection.
Select the cryptocurrency or network you want to manage and follow the on-screen process for adding an account. Supported assets and services can change, so check Ledger's current information before using a particular network.
When sending crypto, carefully review the recipient address, amount, network, and other transaction information. Confirm the transaction directly on your Ledger device before approving it. Hardware confirmation provides an important security check.
Download Ledger Wallet only from official Ledger sources.
Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with another person.
Never enter your recovery phrase into a website, online form, email, or chat.
Check addresses and transaction details before approving transfers.
Keep your Ledger device and recovery information physically secure.
Be cautious of fake support accounts, applications, and phishing websites.
Ledger emphasizes that recovery information should remain private and offline.
For downloads, setup, and product information, use Ledger's official website and support resources rather than third-party pages. Ledger's current documentation identifies Ledger Wallet as the new name for Ledger Live.
