The app supports sending, receiving, buying, swapping, and staking crypto assets while providing real-time portfolio tracking in a user-friendly interface.

Why Use the Official Ledger Live App?

Using the official Ledger Live app ensures you're accessing secure, up-to-date software that’s fully compatible with your Ledger hardware wallet. Unlike browser-based or third-party platforms, Ledger Live offers local installation and connects directly with your Ledger device — no browser extensions or online wallets required.

• All operations require physical confirmation on your Ledger device.
• Built-in support for over 5,000 crypto assets.
• No exposure of your private keys to the internet.
• Integrated buy, sell, swap, and stake features.

How to Download Ledger Live

The official Ledger Live app can be downloaded for desktop and mobile devices. Once downloaded, follow the installation steps carefully and always confirm that you’re installing the genuine application.

• Ensure your device is connected to the internet.
• Open the downloaded installer and follow on-screen instructions.
• After installation, launch the app and optionally set an app password.
• Connect your Ledger device to proceed with wallet setup or login.

Never install Ledger Live from unofficial websites or third-party sources. Doing so puts your funds at risk.

Setting Up for the First Time

Once the app is installed and your Ledger device is connected, you will be guided through one of two options:

• Set up as new device: Generate a new wallet and recovery phrase.
• Restore existing wallet: Enter your 24-word recovery phrase on the device (never on the computer).

After setup, you can add crypto accounts for specific assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. These accounts will appear in your portfolio view within the Ledger Live interface.
