How Ledger Live Works
Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile companion app that integrates with Ledger hardware wallets. The app orchestrates account management and displays balances while all signing operations happen on your hardware device. This separation keeps private keys offline and makes sending and receiving cryptocurrency secure and auditable.
Connect
Install Ledger Live, connect your Ledger device by USB or Bluetooth (Nano X), and add accounts for the assets you hold.
Manage
View consolidated balances, transaction history and receive notifications about software and firmware updates to stay current.
Send & Receive
Create a transaction in Ledger Live and confirm it on your Ledger device. The device displays the exact transaction details so you can verify recipient addresses and amounts before signing.
Stake & Earn
For supported chains, stake within Ledger Live: delegate tokens, review rewards, and manage staking securely — all while keeping keys on your device.
Security & Best Practices
Security is the primary advantage of using Ledger Live together with a Ledger hardware wallet. Below are core practices and features that help protect your crypto.
Hardware-based Keys
Your private keys are generated and stored on the Ledger device and never leave it. Ledger Live requests signatures, the device signs, and returns only signed transactions.
PIN & Recovery
Set a PIN and securely store your recovery phrase offline. The recovery phrase is the only way to restore access if your device is lost or damaged.
Firmware & App Updates
Keep both Ledger Live and your Ledger device firmware up to date. Official updates include security improvements and additional asset support.
Always download Ledger Live and firmware from the official Ledger website. Never share your recovery phrase or enter it on a computer or website. Verify transaction details on your device screen before confirming.
