Ledger Live Wallet is the official crypto management platform developed by Ledger®. Combined with your Ledger hardware wallet, it provides a secure and simple way to buy, sell, exchange, stake, and manage your crypto portfolio — all from one place. Your assets stay protected offline while you access the power of Web3 safely.
1. What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is an all-in-one crypto wallet and portfolio manager available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android). It connects seamlessly with your Ledger device — Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax — to keep your private keys offline and your assets secure while interacting with the blockchain.
With Ledger Live, you can track your portfolio in real time, stake your crypto for rewards, buy or sell assets through trusted partners, and manage NFTs — all while maintaining total ownership of your private keys.
2. Download Ledger Live Securely
Always download the app from the official Ledger website at ledger.com/start. Avoid using links from social media, ads, or emails. Once downloaded, install and open the application, then connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (for Nano X) to get started.
3. Key Features of Ledger Live
- Secure Asset Management — Your private keys remain offline on your Ledger device, never exposed online.
- Buy, Sell & Swap — Trade crypto directly within the app using integrated partners.
- Staking & Rewards — Earn passive income by staking supported assets like Ethereum, Solana, and Tezos.

4. Setting Up Your Ledger Device
Before you use Ledger Live, your Ledger hardware wallet must be properly set up. Follow these steps:
- Unbox your Ledger device and connect it to your computer.
- Power it on and select “Set up as new device.”
- Choose a secure PIN code and confirm it.
- Write down the 24-word recovery phrase displayed on the screen — this is your backup. Keep it offline and never share it.
- Verify your recovery phrase on the device to finish initialization.
Once complete, connect your device to Ledger Live to install apps for your favorite cryptocurrencies and start managing your accounts.
5. Uncompromising Security
Ledger devices are powered by a Secure Element (SE) chip — the same technology used in passports and payment cards — certified for the highest security standards (CC EAL5+). Each transaction you make must be verified and approved directly on your Ledger screen, ensuring no one can access or move your funds without your physical confirmation.

With Ledger Live, you remain in full control of your assets. You can manage over 5,500 coins and tokens securely, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and more. The interface is user-friendly and supports real-time portfolio analytics, giving you clear visibility into your holdings and performance.
