Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application designed to help users manage their cryptocurrencies safely. Ledger Live works with all Ledger hardware wallets, including the Ledger Nano S and Nano X, providing a secure environment to track balances, send and receive funds, and install crypto apps.
With Ledger Live, your private keys never leave your device. This means you can interact with hundreds of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and ERC-20 tokens without compromising security.
Ledger Live is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices (iOS and Android). Visit the official Ledger Live download page and choose the version suitable for your device.
After downloading, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Ledger Live does not require an internet connection to store your private keys; it only connects to verify transactions and account balances.
Use your USB cable to connect your Ledger hardware wallet. Open Ledger Live, which will automatically detect your device. You will be prompted to either create a new wallet or restore an existing wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase.
Set a secure PIN code on your Ledger device to protect against unauthorized access. Ledger Live will then guide you to write down your recovery phrase, which is crucial for wallet recovery.
Ledger Live allows you to manage multiple crypto accounts. Click “Add account,” select the cryptocurrency type, and Ledger Live will synchronize your balances with the blockchain using your Ledger device.
Ledger Live provides a dashboard to view your portfolio balance, historical performance, and the distribution of assets across different cryptocurrencies.
Use Ledger Live’s Manager tab to install apps on your Ledger device. Each cryptocurrency requires a dedicated app to interact with the blockchain securely.
To receive cryptocurrency, select the account in Ledger Live, click “Receive,” and verify the address on your Ledger device. Only share this address for deposits to ensure the funds go to your secure wallet.
Click “Send” in Ledger Live, enter the recipient address and amount, then confirm the transaction physically on your Ledger device. This protects against malware that could alter transaction details on your computer.
Ensure Ledger Live is installed and your USB connection is secure. Restart your computer if the device is still not detected.
If you forget your PIN, use your recovery phrase to restore the wallet on the same or a new Ledger device. The PIN cannot be recovered directly.
Follow Ledger Live prompts carefully to install firmware updates. Never download firmware from unofficial sources.
Ledger Live App is the ultimate solution for managing your cryptocurrency safely and efficiently. With its intuitive interface, secure connection to Ledger hardware devices, and advanced features like passphrases and hidden wallets, you can track and control your digital assets confidently.
