Ledger Live Wallet is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, providing a seamless interface to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. This powerful application bridges the gap between cold storage security and everyday crypto management, allowing users to securely send, receive, and grow their digital assets while maintaining the highest security standards.
Unlike traditional software wallets, Ledger Live operates in conjunction with your Ledger hardware device, ensuring that your private keys never leave the secure element of your hardware wallet. This unique architecture provides the perfect balance between accessibility and security.
Track all your cryptocurrency holdings in real-time with automatic price updates and portfolio performance analytics across multiple accounts and currencies.
Send and receive over 1,800 cryptocurrencies with enterprise-grade security. All transactions require physical confirmation on your Ledger device.
Earn passive income by staking popular cryptocurrencies like ETH, ADA, DOT, and others directly through the application with competitive rewards.
Swap cryptocurrencies instantly through integrated exchange partners without leaving the security of the Ledger ecosystem.
Setting up Ledger Live is a straightforward process designed to get you started with secure crypto management in minutes:
After downloading the application, you'll need to initialize your Ledger hardware wallet and install the necessary applications for your preferred cryptocurrencies. The Ledger Start page provides comprehensive setup instructions for both new and experienced users.
Ledger Live is available across multiple platforms to suit your preferred way of managing cryptocurrencies:
The full-featured desktop application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Offers complete functionality including portfolio management, staking, and exchange services.
Companion mobile application for iOS and Android devices. Perfect for checking your portfolio on the go and managing transactions when you have your Ledger device with you.
Visit the official Ledger website at ledger.com/ledger-live/download, select your operating system, and follow the installation instructions. Always ensure you're downloading from the official Ledger website to avoid malicious software.
Ledger Live doesn't use traditional username/password login. Instead, you connect your Ledger hardware wallet and enter your PIN on the device itself. The application then syncs with your device to display your portfolio and enable transactions.
No, Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X). The hardware wallet is essential for security as it stores your private keys in a secure environment separate from your computer or phone.
While both offer core functionality, the desktop version provides more comprehensive features including full exchange integration, advanced portfolio analytics, and support for more cryptocurrencies. The mobile app is designed for on-the-go management and basic transactions.
It's recommended to always use the latest version of Ledger Live. Updates often include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. The application will notify you when updates are available.
