About Ledger Live Wallet
Ledger Live Wallet is the official companion software for all Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a simple yet secure interface to buy, sell, exchange, and monitor cryptocurrencies in one place. With Ledger Live, you stay in control — your private keys remain stored offline within your Ledger device, never exposed to the internet.
Key Benefits
- All-in-One Dashboard : Manage more than 5,500 digital assets from a single app.
- Maximum Security : Private keys never leave your hardware wallet.
- Convenient Access : Works seamlessly with desktop and mobile devices.

Step 1 — Download Ledger Live
Visit the official Ledger website at ledger.com/ledger-live and select your operating system — Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS. Always verify the website address before downloading to ensure you are using the legitimate Ledger source.
Step 2 — Install and Launch
After downloading, install Ledger Live and open the application. You’ll be guided through a setup assistant that connects your Ledger hardware wallet. The software will automatically detect whether you are setting up a new device or restoring an existing one.
Step 3 — Initialize Your Ledger Device
Connect your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus and choose “Set up as new device.” Create a secure PIN and record your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided sheet. This phrase is your only backup — keep it offline and never share it with anyone, including Ledger Support.
Step 4 — Add Crypto Accounts
Once your device is initialized, use Ledger Live to install cryptocurrency apps and add accounts. You can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands of other assets. Every transaction must be confirmed directly on your Ledger device’s screen, ensuring total security.
Portfolio & Staking
The Ledger Live Wallet gives you real-time portfolio tracking and price updates. You can also stake coins such as Ethereum, Polkadot, or Tezos to earn rewards securely from within the app. All staking operations are validated through your Ledger device, keeping your assets safe.
Security & Privacy
Ledger’s hardware-based protection and the Secure Element chip safeguard your digital wealth from online threats. Your private keys never touch your computer or smartphone. Regular firmware updates keep the system hardened against emerging vulnerabilities.
