Ledger Live is the official application designed by Ledger for managing cryptocurrency wallets connected to Ledger Hardware Wallets. It works as a central hub where users can store, send, receive, stake, and trade digital assets.
Available on both desktop and mobile, Ledger Live integrates seamlessly with Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and other Ledger devices. By combining hardware-based private key protection with a user-friendly interface, Ledger Live provides one of the safest and most efficient ways to interact with blockchain networks.
Visit Ledger.com/start and download the official Ledger Live app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
Follow installation instructions for your operating system. Open Ledger Live and select "Get Started".
Connect your Ledger Nano device via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X only). Ledger Live will detect the device and ask you to set up or restore a wallet.
After initialization, use Ledger Live to add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported blockchains. Each account is linked securely with your Ledger Hardware Wallet.
Ledger Login is the security mechanism that requires you to confirm every critical action on your hardware wallet before execution. Even if your computer is hacked, no transaction can be completed without your approval on the device screen.
This ensures full protection against phishing and malware, as attackers cannot bypass the physical confirmation required by the Ledger device.
