Welcome to Ledger™ Live — the official application designed to securely manage your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies. With Ledger™ Live, you can download, install, and set up your app safely while maintaining full control of your private keys. This guide ensures your Ledger™ hardware wallet is properly connected and ready for seamless crypto management.
Always download Ledger™ Live directly from official sources to guarantee authenticity. The app is available for desktop and mobile platforms. Once installed, Ledger™ Live communicates exclusively with your Ledger™ hardware wallet to manage accounts, execute transactions, and view portfolio balances — keeping all sensitive information offline and secure.
After installation, connect your Ledger™ hardware wallet using the provided USB cable. Ledger™ Live guides you through the connection process step by step, ensuring the device is recognized and ready for secure interaction. Your private keys remain inside the hardware wallet at all times, never exposed to the internet.
During setup, you will select a unique PIN code for your device. This PIN is the first layer of protection against unauthorized access. Make sure it is memorable for you but difficult for others to guess. Your PIN works in combination with your recovery phrase to keep your assets safe under all circumstances.
Ledger™ Live will display a 24-word recovery phrase on your device. This phrase is the ultimate backup for your wallet. Carefully write down each word in order and store it offline in a secure location. Never take photos or save the phrase digitally. Your recovery phrase allows you to restore your wallet in case the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Ledger™ Live lets you install apps for different cryptocurrencies supported by your Ledger™ device. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands of tokens can be added with ease. Each transaction you execute requires physical confirmation on the device, ensuring that your keys never leave the secure environment.
The app provides a clear overview of your holdings, transaction history, and real-time market values. You can easily track your portfolio’s performance, send and receive assets, and make informed decisions without ever compromising your private keys.
Ledger™ Live and your Ledger™ hardware wallet firmware receive regular updates to enhance security and functionality. Always ensure that both the app and the device are running the latest versions. Ledger™ will never ask for your PIN or recovery phrase via email or other communication channels.
With Ledger™ Live, you have full ownership and control over your cryptocurrency. By following official setup and security steps, you ensure your assets remain safe, private, and fully accessible. Download, set up, and start managing your crypto confidently with Ledger™ Live.
