Ledger Live App

The official companion application for managing your Ledger hardware wallet. Send, receive, stake, and monitor your digital assets securely with complete self-custody control.

What is Ledger Live App?

Ledger Live App is the official software interface developed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It allows users to manage cryptocurrencies securely while ensuring that private keys remain protected within the secure element chip of the device.

The app is available for desktop and mobile platforms, offering flexibility and convenience for crypto holders. While the app provides portfolio tracking and transaction management, every critical action requires confirmation directly on the Ledger device.

This dual-layer architecture ensures both usability and security.

Managing Crypto with Ledger Live

Ledger Live allows users to install cryptocurrency applications directly onto their Ledger device. Each blockchain requires its own dedicated app installed via Ledger Live.

You can create multiple accounts per asset, track transaction history, and monitor price fluctuations. The intuitive dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your holdings.

For advanced users, staking and DeFi integrations provide additional earning opportunities while maintaining hardware-level security.

Recovery Phrase Protection

Your 24-word recovery phrase is generated during device initialization. It is the master key to your assets and must be written down securely.

  • Never store it digitally.
  • Never share it with anyone.
  • Keep it in a fireproof and waterproof location.
  • Anyone with access can control your funds.

If your Ledger device is lost or damaged, you can restore access using this phrase.

Mobile vs Desktop Version

The desktop version offers full functionality including firmware updates and app installation. The mobile version (for Nano X users) supports Bluetooth connectivity for managing assets on the go.

Both versions maintain strong security standards, but firmware updates typically require the desktop application.
