Your Secure Interface for Managing Digital Assets
Ledger Live is the official application designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets. It acts as the control center where users view balances, install blockchain apps, manage accounts, and initiate transactions — all while keeping private keys protected inside the hardware device.
Instead of functioning as a traditional online wallet, Ledger Live serves as a secure bridge between you and decentralized networks.
The platform simplifies crypto asset management while preserving the core security model of hardware-based private key storage. Ledger Live prepares transactions, but signing always occurs inside the device.
Upon opening Ledger Live, users are presented with a dashboard showing portfolio value, recent activity, and quick access to different blockchain accounts. The interface is designed for clarity without exposing sensitive key material.
Ledger Live allows users to create multiple accounts under one device. Each account corresponds to a blockchain application installed on the hardware wallet.
To receive funds, Ledger Live generates a public address, which must be verified on the device screen. When sending assets, the app builds the transaction, but the hardware wallet performs the final signature.
Ledger Live does not store private keys. Instead, it relies on the secure element inside the Ledger device. Every critical operation requires physical confirmation.
The application supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and blockchain networks. Users install specific apps on the device to manage different assets through Ledger Live.
Ledger Live notifies users when firmware or application updates are available. Keeping both the software and device firmware current ensures compatibility and improved security features.
