The comprehensive software solution for managing your cryptocurrency assets with Ledger® hardware wallets
Ledger Live is the official companion software for Ledger® hardware wallets, providing a secure interface to manage your entire cryptocurrency portfolio. This powerful application serves as the bridge between your Ledger® device and the blockchain, allowing you to send and receive crypto, check account balances, install apps, and manage your assets—all while your private keys remain protected on the hardware device.
Available as both desktop and mobile applications, Ledger Live supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and integrates with various decentralized applications and services, making it the central hub for your digital asset management.

Ledger Live is designed with security as the top priority. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware device. The application only displays information and prepares transactions, which must then be verified and approved directly on your hardware wallet. This approach ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your cryptocurrencies remain secure.
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges for using the application to manage your cryptocurrencies. You only need to purchase a Ledger® hardware wallet to use with the software.
No, Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with Ledger® hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X). The application requires a physical Ledger® device to access most features, as your private keys are stored on the hardware device itself for maximum security.
Ledger Live doesn't use a traditional username/password login system. Instead, you connect your Ledger® hardware wallet to verify transactions and view your portfolio. Your sensitive information remains securely stored on the device itself, not in the application.
Unlike software wallets that store private keys on your device or online, Ledger Live works exclusively with Ledger® hardware wallets that keep your private keys in a secure element chip, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. This provides significantly higher security against hacking attempts.
It's recommended to keep Ledger Live updated to the latest version. Updates often include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. The application will notify you when updates are available.
Yes, you can manage multiple Ledger® devices with a single Ledger Live installation. The application allows you to switch between different devices and manage each one's accounts separately, making it ideal for users with multiple wallets for different purposes.
