The Ledger Live App is the official software companion for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to provide a user-friendly and secure environment for managing cryptocurrencies. It connects your hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device, allowing you to interact with your digital assets safely.
Unlike online wallets or browser extensions, the Ledger Live App ensures that your private keys never leave your device. Transactions are authorized on the hardware wallet itself, keeping your funds protected from hacks or malware.
The Ledger Live App combines convenience, security, and advanced features into a single platform:
Setting up the Ledger Live App is straightforward, but requires careful attention to security:
Visit the official Ledger website to download the Ledger Live App compatible with your operating system. Avoid third-party downloads, which can compromise security. Install the application following the on-screen instructions.
Plug your Ledger hardware wallet into your computer or mobile device using USB or Bluetooth (for mobile). Ledger Live will detect the device and guide you through the initial connection.
Choose whether to set up a new wallet or restore an existing one using your recovery phrase. Ledger Live walks you through the process, ensuring your private keys remain securely stored on the device.
Ledger Live allows installation of apps for supported cryptocurrencies on your device. Each app enables safe interaction with a specific blockchain and asset type, ensuring maximum compatibility and security.
Sending and receiving cryptocurrencies through Ledger Live is designed to be intuitive yet secure. All transactions require manual confirmation on your hardware device, preventing unauthorized transfers.
To send funds, select the cryptocurrency, enter the recipient address, and confirm the transaction details. Verify the amount and address directly on your hardware wallet before approval.
To receive funds, open the Ledger Live App, select your cryptocurrency, and share the displayed wallet address. Ledger Live ensures that your receiving address is accurate and verified by the device.

While Ledger Live App is highly secure, users must adopt safe practices to protect their assets:
Important: Ledger Live will never ask for your recovery phrase. Any prompt requesting it is a scam.
