About Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official interface to operate your Ledger hardware wallet. It consolidates portfolio tracking, app management (install/uninstall device apps), firmware updates, staking (where supported), and secure sending/receiving of cryptocurrencies. Transactions are never exposed to the internet — private keys remain on your Ledger device while Ledger Live provides the interface and network connectivity.

Key Features

  • Device-first security: private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet.
  • Multi-asset portfolio: supports hundreds of coins and thousands of tokens.
  • Easy setup: follow Ledger.com/start to initialize a device and Ledger Live.
  • Cross-platform: Ledger Live Desktop for Windows/macOS/Linux and Ledger Live App for mobile.

Security & Login

Ledger Live Login is a local application login: while Ledger Live stores encrypted account metadata, your seed phrase and private keys remain on the Ledger device. Always download Ledger Live from the official site and verify signatures where prompted.
