Ledger Live is Ledger’s software platform for interacting with compatible Ledger hardware wallets and managing supported digital assets. It provides a central interface where users can review wallet information, monitor transactions, and access supported features while using their Ledger device.
Ledger Live is designed to work alongside Ledger hardware wallets. The application provides tools for viewing supported accounts and assets while the hardware device is used for important security and transaction-approval operations.

Your recovery phrase is extremely sensitive and must remain private.
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Do not enter it into websites, online forms, emails, messages, or support chats.
