Ledger Live
Futuristic Tech — advanced dashboard & flows

Hardware Isolation

Private keys are generated and stored in the secure element of your Ledger device. Ledger Live never exposes the seed to the host environment.

Multi-Asset Support

Track thousands of tokens across dozens of chains. Ledger Live aggregates balances, performance, and transaction history in one place.

Fiat On-Ramps & Swaps

Integrated partner flows allow buying and swapping inside the app. Fees vary by partner — always review routes before confirming.

How Ledger Live Works (concise)

Ledger Live reads your public account data, assembles a transaction, and sends it to the Ledger device for approval. The device displays the details and requires a manual confirmation; only then is the transaction validly signed.

Practical quickstart

  1. Download Ledger Live: ledger.com/ledger-live
  2. Set up your Ledger device: ledger.com/start
  3. Add accounts, install necessary chain apps, run a small test transfer.

Security note

Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger Live and your device firmware should only be downloaded from official Ledger pages. See official guidance at ledger.com/start.

Essential Security

Ledger Live works with Ledger hardware devices so the private key never leaves the device. Transaction approval always happens on the hardware screen you physically control.

Portfolio Overview

See balances, recent transactions, and simple performance charts. Use clean export options for record-keeping or accounting without visual noise.

FAQ

Is Ledger Live free?

Yes — the application is free. Optional buying/swapping services are provided by partners and may charge fees.

How to keep my seed safe?

Write it on paper, split copies, store in different secure places. Never photograph or type it into a cloud service.

Why choose the minimalist flow?

Minimalist UX reduces distraction, highlights what matters, and supports deliberate, secure decision-making — ideal for users who value calm and control when managing substantial holdings.
