Ledger Live® is the official companion software for Ledger® hardware wallets, providing a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. This powerful application allows you to check balances, send and receive transactions, install apps, and maintain your device—all while your private keys remain protected within your hardware wallet.
Unlike exchange-based wallets or software wallets, Ledger Live® Wallet adds an essential security layer by requiring physical confirmation on your Ledger® device for all transactions, ensuring your assets remain safe even if your computer is compromised.
Track all your cryptocurrency holdings in one dashboard with real-time price updates and performance charts.
Send and receive hundreds of cryptocurrencies with transaction verification on your hardware device.
Earn rewards by staking supported cryptocurrencies directly through the Ledger Live® interface.
Install and update cryptocurrency apps on your Ledger® device with a simple, intuitive interface.

Always verify you're downloading from the official Ledger® website to avoid counterfeit software.
If you're new to Ledger®, begin at Ledger.com/start for guided setup instructions. The process includes:
When you first launch Ledger Live®, you'll create an account with an email and password. This Ledger Live login is different from your device PIN and serves to personalize your experience—it doesn't protect your funds. Your cryptocurrency security relies entirely on your hardware wallet.
After setup, use Ledger Live® to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you own and add corresponding accounts. Each account generation happens on your secure device, keeping your private keys offline at all times.
For security, always use official Ledger® resources. Bookmark these essential links:
