One app, a more connected view
What is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is a companion app for managing supported crypto assets with a Ledger hardware wallet. It brings account information and wallet actions together, while your device remains an important part of approving transactions.
Account management
Organize accounts by network, name them for your own reference, and switch between them without losing the overall picture.
Secure transactions
Review transaction details in the app, then verify and approve on your connected device before anything is signed.
Device connectivity
Connect a compatible Ledger device to access account actions. Your device confirms sensitive steps rather than trusting the screen alone.
Your accounts, in context
Keep the details organized.
A useful wallet overview is more than one number. Ledger Live lets you view separate crypto accounts, check balances by asset, and follow activity over time. If you use multiple networks or keep funds for different purposes, meaningful account names can make the list easier to scan. You can also review incoming and outgoing transactions in account history to help match activity with your own records.
Track activity with confidence
Transaction status can take time to update, depending on the network. Always compare the recipient, network, and amount carefully; a transfer sent to the wrong address or chain may not be recoverable. The app offers a convenient view, but it is not a substitute for checking the details yourself.

A thoughtful first setup
Getting started, step by step.
Take your time during setup. Small checks now can prevent avoidable mistakes later.
01
Get the app from an official source
Use Ledger’s official website to find the current Ledger Live download. Check the domain carefully and avoid sponsored lookalike links.
02
Connect and check your device
Follow the on-screen setup guidance for your device. Choose a PIN and write down your recovery phrase offline, in private, and in the order shown.
03
Add accounts and review
Install the relevant app when prompted, add an account, and verify any receiving address on your hardware device before sharing it.
Useful everyday tools
More clarity around routine tasks.
Beyond balance checks, Ledger Live can help you explore supported services, manage apps on a compatible device, and review account activity. Availability varies by asset, region, device, and provider; features may change over time. Read any third-party service terms and fees before using it, and remember that showing an asset in an app does not mean its market value is stable.
Updates matter too. Keep both the companion app and device software current through official update flows. Before installing an update or approving an operation, pause long enough to confirm that you understand what is being requested.

Common questions
Ledger Live, explained.
Quick answers to help you understand the app and use it with care.
Is Ledger Live an exchange or a wallet?
Ledger Live is a companion application that helps you view and manage accounts associated with a Ledger hardware wallet. Some actions may involve external providers. It is not itself a centralized exchange, and exact functionality depends on your device and supported assets.
Does Ledger Live hold my recovery phrase?
Your recovery phrase is meant to remain under your control and offline. Never enter it into Ledger Live, a website, or a support conversation. Anyone who obtains it may be able to access your crypto assets.
Why is a balance or transaction not showing yet?
App synchronization, network congestion, and confirmation times can affect what appears and when. Check the relevant network and official status resources, make sure the app is up to date, and avoid repeating a transaction simply because an update is delayed.
Is this an official Ledger website?
No. This independent guide is for general information only and is not owned by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Ledger. For downloads, account-specific support, and current product details, use Ledger’s official website.
