Ledger® Live Wallet™

Welcome to Ledger® Live Wallet™

The Ledger® Live Wallet™ is the trusted crypto management application developed by Ledger SAS. It works seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus, giving users a secure, all-in-one dashboard to buy, sell, send, receive, and stake their cryptocurrencies. This guide will help you understand what Ledger Live is, how to set it up, and how to use it safely.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a free desktop and mobile app that acts as a bridge between your Ledger hardware wallet and the blockchain networks of the cryptocurrencies you own. It enables you to manage assets without ever exposing your private keys online.

• Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
• Supports 5,500+ digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and stablecoins.
• Lets you buy, swap, stake, and track portfolio performance in one place.

Step 1: Download the Ledger Live App

To ensure maximum security, download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger website: https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live. Choose the version that matches your operating system.

Step 2: Set Up and Connect Your Ledger Device

Once Ledger Live is installed, open the app and connect your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus. You’ll be guided to either set up a new device or connect an existing one. Follow on-screen instructions carefully to create a PIN and write down your 24-word recovery phrase.

• Never share or store your recovery phrase online.
• Confirm each word directly on your Ledger device.
• Always use the official Ledger cable or verified Bluetooth connection (for Nano X).

Step 3: Add Accounts and Manage Assets

After setup, go to the “Accounts” tab in Ledger Live to add cryptocurrency accounts. Each account corresponds to a wallet address verified on your Ledger device.

• Install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any supported crypto via the “Manager” tab.
• Add accounts to monitor balances and transactions securely.
• Verify all transactions on your device’s screen before confirming.

Step 4: Explore Features and Security Tools

The Ledger Live Wallet™ includes advanced tools for crypto management:

• Buy/Sell: Purchase crypto through trusted partners directly in the app.
• Stake & Earn: Earn rewards by staking assets like Ethereum or Solana.
• Portfolio: Track your holdings, market value, and performance in real time.

Ledger’s security model ensures that private keys never leave your hardware wallet. Even if your computer or phone is compromised, your assets remain protected.

Step 5: Keep Everything Updated

Regular updates help maintain Ledger Live’s security. Always install the latest firmware and software updates to ensure compatibility and protection against new threats.

• Update Ledger Live from within the app or the official website.
• Keep your Ledger device firmware current.
• Only download updates from Ledger.com.

Stay Safe Online

Ledger will never contact you asking for your 24-word recovery phrase or personal details. Beware of phishing websites, fake apps, and unofficial support channels.

• Always confirm you are on Ledger.com.
• Bookmark the official Ledger Live download page.
• Enable app lock and password protection in Ledger Live settings.
