Ledger Live provides a secure interface for your Ledger hardware wallet. Your private keys never leave your device, ensuring complete protection against online threats.
Monitor your cryptocurrency investments in real-time with advanced portfolio tracking. View performance charts, historical data, and asset allocation all in one place.
Send and receive hundreds of cryptocurrencies with ease. Ledger Live simplifies blockchain transactions while maintaining the highest security standards.
Begin by downloading Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. The application is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Follow the installation instructions for your platform. Ensure you're downloading from the genuine Ledger site to avoid counterfeit software that could compromise your security.
Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You'll set up a secure PIN code and generate your recovery phrase—a crucial backup that must be written down and stored safely offline. This phrase is your key to recovering funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Use the Manager tab in Ledger Live to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Each cryptocurrency requires its own app on your Ledger device. These apps enable your device to manage the specific blockchain protocols. You can install and remove apps as needed—your coins remain safe on the blockchain regardless of which apps are installed.
Add accounts for each cryptocurrency you want to manage. Ledger Live will synchronize with your device to derive your public addresses. The application allows you to create multiple accounts for each cryptocurrency, helping you organize your assets according to your preferences. Each account is protected by your Ledger device's security.
Once your accounts are set up, you can view your entire portfolio in the Dashboard. Ledger Live provides real-time balance information, historical charts, and portfolio distribution analytics. You can send and receive cryptocurrencies, buy crypto through integrated partners, and even stake certain assets directly through the application.
