Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application that acts as a secure interface between you and your cryptocurrency holdings. It pairs with Ledger hardware devices to provide a device-confirmed login, manage accounts, send and receive assets, and view portfolio performance. The login flow focuses on verifying the device paired to the app, ensuring private keys never leave your hardware wallet.
Managing crypto through a dedicated, device-backed application reduces exposure to phishing and remote theft. Ledger Live combines usability with security by keeping critical signing operations on the hardware and using the app primarily for viewing and transaction preparation.
Only download Ledger Live from official sources and keep firmware up to date. Use a strong PIN and store your recovery phrase offline in a secure location.
The dashboard presents portfolio value, percentage change, recent transactions and quick access to receive or send crypto. Navigation is designed so new users can onboard smoothly while advanced users access developer and staking features.
Ledger Live supports multiple languages and provides clear confirmations so users always know which device and account are in use.
Ledger Live integrates staking options for supported assets and connects to partner apps through a secure bridge. Third-party dApps can be used without exposing private keys.
Developers can reference Ledger's documentation and SDKs to integrate Ledger device signing into their own applications.
Ledger regularly publishes security updates and vendor notices. Keep the app and device firmware updated to benefit from latest protections.
