Ledger® Live — Getting Started | official Ledger& Wallet App

Ledger Live: Your Control Center for Crypto

Ledger Live is the official companion application for your Ledger hardware wallet. It’s your central hub to manage, track, and secure your cryptocurrencies after your device setup. Once you complete the onboarding at Ledger.com/Start, Ledger Live becomes the primary tool to interact with your crypto safely.

Key Features of Ledger Live

1. Secure Asset Management
   Ledger Live lets you add multiple accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Your private keys remain safely stored on your Ledger device, never leaving it, while Ledger Live communicates securely to reflect your balances and transactions.
2. Portfolio Tracking
   Keep an eye on all your digital assets in one place. Ledger Live provides real-time price updates, portfolio distribution, and historical performance charts, making it easy to manage even a diverse collection of tokens.
3. Buy, Sell, and Swap
   Ledger Live supports integrated services that allow you to buy crypto with a card or bank transfer, sell assets, or swap one crypto for another—all without exposing your private keys online.
4. App Management
   Ledger devices support multiple apps for different blockchains. Ledger Live allows you to install and manage these apps efficiently, ensuring you can interact with various networks safely.
5. Firmware Updates and Security Alerts
   Ledger Live keeps your device firmware up to date. Regular updates patch vulnerabilities and improve device functionality. Ledger Live also notifies you of potential security issues or phishing attempts, keeping your crypto environment safe.
6. NFT Management
   If you own NFTs, Ledger Live allows you to view and manage your collection directly within the app, without ever compromising your private keys.

How Ledger Live Works with Ledger.com/Start

During onboarding at Ledger.com/Start, you download Ledger Live and use it to initialize your Ledger device, create your PIN, and set up your 24-word recovery phrase. Ledger Live never stores your recovery phrase, ensuring that only you can access your assets.

Once setup is complete, Ledger Live becomes your ongoing interface with your Ledger device, whether you are checking balances, sending crypto, or installing new apps. Returning to Ledger.com/Start can provide updates, tutorials, or troubleshooting tips specifically for Ledger Live.
