About Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official companion software for Ledger’s line of hardware wallets, combining usability and top-tier security. Designed for beginners and advanced crypto holders alike, it offers a unified experience across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. With Ledger Live, you can send, receive, stake, and exchange digital assets directly through an interface connected to your hardware wallet.
Unlike pure software wallets, Ledger Live never exposes your private keys to the internet. The hardware device signs transactions internally, while the app provides real-time portfolio data and blockchain interaction. This architecture gives you the usability of a modern wallet while preserving cold-storage security.
From portfolio tracking and market analytics to staking, Ledger Live supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies and tokens. Users can connect multiple Ledger devices, manage multiple accounts, and even track NFTs with automatic updates. Its built-in swap and buy functions simplify asset management while keeping everything under hardware verification.
Ledger’s commitment to transparency extends through open-source components and verifiable binaries. Every app release can be verified using checksums or digital signatures, ensuring authenticity. The app frequently updates to add new coin support and security improvements. By using the Ledger Live suite, you maintain direct control — no custodians, no third-party permissions, only verified connections between you and the blockchain.
Mobile integration makes managing assets easy. The Ledger Live mobile app mirrors the desktop experience while offering Bluetooth pairing for hardware wallets. Push notifications, staking updates, and security prompts help users stay informed in real time. Ledger Live is not just a tool; it’s a secure ecosystem designed for the evolving crypto landscape.
Always download Ledger Live from official sources, such as ledger.com or verified app stores. Beware of phishing sites or unofficial installers. Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. Protect your seed securely offline, and verify your device’s authenticity via Ledger Live’s built-in checks.
