Managing your cryptocurrency portfolio can be overwhelming without the right tools. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just beginning your crypto journey, Ledger™ Live offers a secure, intuitive, and all-in-one platform to manage your digital assets seamlessly.
In this blog, we'll walk you through how to get started with Ledger™ Live, the official application from Ledger that puts you in full control of your cryptocurrencies while maintaining top-tier security.
Ledger™ Live is the official desktop and mobile application designed by Ledger to help users interact safely with their hardware wallets. It supports over 1800 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many altcoins, giving you the freedom to buy, sell, stake, and exchange assets from one single interface.

User-Friendly: Clean, easy-to-navigate design with real-time portfolio tracking.
Multi-Asset Support: Manage a wide range of tokens all in one place.
Cross-Platform: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Select your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android) and download the latest version.

Ledger™ Live works hand-in-hand with your Ledger hardware wallet — either the Ledger Nano S Plus or the Ledger Nano X. If you haven't set up your device yet:
Connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone.
Follow the device instructions to create a secure PIN.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and keep it offline — this is your ultimate backup!
Once your device is set up, open Ledger™ Live:
Choose "Initialize as new device" if you’re starting fresh or "Restore device" if you have a recovery phrase.
Ledger™ Live will guide you through pairing your device with the app.
Inside the app, navigate to the “Accounts” tab.
Click “Add account” and select the cryptocurrency you want to manage.
Connect your Ledger device and allow Ledger™ Live to synchronize the account information.
Here are some core features you’ll want to explore:
Portfolio Overview: See your entire crypto portfolio’s value in real-time, with price updates and historical charts.
Buy & Sell Crypto: Buy cryptocurrencies directly through Ledger Live using integrated partners.
Send & Receive: Easily send and receive crypto payments with verified addresses.
Staking: Some coins like Tezos and Cosmos allow staking directly through the app, earning you passive rewards.
Exchange: Swap tokens securely inside Ledger Live without exposing your private keys.
Keep your Ledger Live app updated: Regular updates improve security and add new features.
Enable password or biometric lock: For mobile apps, activate extra protection for your portfolio.
Verify transaction details: Always double-check the recipient address on your hardware device before confirming.
Backup your recovery phrase securely: Never share it online or store digitally.
Unlike software-only wallets or online exchanges, Ledger™ Live combined with Ledger hardware wallets ensures your private keys never leave your device — making it the safest option to protect against hacks and phishing attacks.
Plus, the seamless integration of buying, staking, exchanging, and portfolio tracking in one app saves you from juggling multiple platforms.
