Lédger® Live Not Showing Balance: Troubleshooting Guide
`Seeing a zero balance in your Ledger Live application can be alarming, but it rarely means your crypto is lost. This guide covers the most common causes and official solutions to get your balances displaying correctly.
A common reason for missing balances is a sync error between Ledger Live and the blockchain. This happens when locally cached data becomes outdated or corrupted.
The official first step is to clear the application's cache. Navigate to Settings > Help > Clear Cache. This action removes downloaded data and forces a full resynchronization with the blockchain network, often restoring the correct balance . This is a safe operation that does not affect your crypto .
Incorrect network selection is a frequent cause of zero balances. Ledger Live supports multiple blockchains, and selecting the wrong one for your account can hide your assets .
Check the network filter in the top right corner of your Ledger Live interface. Ensure it matches the network of your assets (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain). If you've sent tokens on a specific network like BSC (BEP-20), you must view that network within Ledger Live .
After resetting or using a new computer, you may need to re-add your accounts. When adding an account, verify that the address displayed in Ledger Live matches the address where your crypto is stored on the blockchain . If the addresses differ, you may have entered an incorrect recovery phrase or passphrase .
If you set up a temporary or secondary passphrase (BIP39 passphrase), accounts created under it are separate from those under your main recovery phrase . If you reset your device and restored only the primary phrase, your passphrase-associated accounts will show a zero balance. Ensure you're using the correct passphrase to access the accounts holding your funds .
Update Firmware and Ledger Live: Ensure both your Ledger hardware firmware and the Ledger Live app are updated to the latest versions .
Reinstall Apps: If your balance shows correctly on a blockchain explorer but not in Ledger Live, try removing and reinstalling the specific cryptocurrency app (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP) on your Ledger device via the "Manager" section .
