The official app to securely manage your Ledger hardware wallet and crypto assets
Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application developed by Ledger to manage Ledger hardware wallets. It allows users to safely store, send, receive, buy, sell, and monitor cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys offline inside the Ledger device.
Designed with both beginners and advanced users in mind, Ledger Live offers a simple, intuitive interface without compromising on security. Every sensitive action must be physically confirmed on the Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring complete user control.
Ledger Live acts as a secure bridge between your Ledger device and the blockchain. The application itself never stores private keys. Instead, it displays balances, transaction history, and portfolio data while all cryptographic operations are handled inside the hardware wallet.
Your private keys are generated and stored inside the Ledger Secure Element, never exposed to the internet.
Transactions and account actions must be approved directly on the Ledger device, preventing unauthorized access.
Ledger Live provides live portfolio insights without compromising security or privacy.
Once installed, Ledger Live becomes your central dashboard for interacting with cryptocurrencies securely.
Ledger Live is built around Ledger’s Secure Element technology, the same type of chip used in passports and banking cards. This chip protects private keys from physical and digital attacks.
Combined with PIN protection, optional passphrases, and firmware authenticity checks, Ledger Live delivers one of the highest security standards available in crypto storage.
If Ledger Live does not detect your device, ensure that your USB cable is functioning correctly and that the Ledger firmware is up to date. Restarting the application often resolves minor connectivity issues.
Network synchronization issues can usually be fixed by clearing cache or updating the application to the latest version.
Unlike browser wallets and hot wallets, Ledger Live keeps your private keys offline, significantly reducing the risk of hacking and phishing attacks.
It is ideal for long-term investors, active traders, and anyone who wants full ownership of their digital assets without relying on third-party custody.
Ledger Live is more than just a wallet application—it is a complete crypto management platform built around security, transparency, and user control.
Whether you are storing assets for the long term or actively managing your portfolio, Ledger Live provides the confidence and protection needed in today’s digital economy.
