Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile app that pairs with Ledger hardware to give you a secure, intuitive way to manage cryptocurrencies. Send, receive, swap, track and stake assets while keeping your private keys isolated on your Ledger device.

Download Ledger Live How to Get Started

Pro-tip: Always download Ledger Live from the official site and confirm firmware prompts on your Ledger device before approving.

Overview

Ledger Live pairs a polished, user-friendly interface with the ironclad security of Ledger hardware. The app lets you add and manage multiple accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum and more than 1,800 tokens and assets. Critical operations — like signing transactions — always occur on your Ledger device, so your private keys never touch the internet or your computer's memory.

Core Features

🔒 Hardware-secure signing

Every transaction is signed on your Ledger device. Ledger Live only sends signed payloads to the network.

Track balances, values, performance charts and history across all supported accounts in one place.

🔁 Built-in swaps & bridges

Swap tokens, bridge assets between chains, and access partner services without exposing your seed phrase.

🛡️ Firmware & security checks

Ledger Live verifies firmware signatures and alerts you to security-related updates and anomalies.

🌐 dApp integrations

Connect safely to Web3 applications and DeFi tools (MetaMask, WalletConnect) while keys stay offline.

🔐 Recovery & backup

Recover accounts using your recovery phrase on a new Ledger device; Ledger Live helps you validate account addresses.

Why Security Matters

Ledger Live improves convenience but never replaces the hardware security model: your private keys remain in the secure chip on a Ledger device. Ledger Live is the interface — the device is the root of trust. Protect your recovery phrase and verify everything on-device to keep attackers at bay.
