Ledger Live — Begin Your Wallet Setup | Ledger® Official
Getting started with secure crypto management begins with Ledger Live, the official companion app designed to help you set up, manage, and grow your digital assets safely. Whether you’re new to crypto or an experienced investor, Ledger Live offers a streamlined, secure environment to control your hardware wallet and interact with the blockchain ecosystem—all in one place.
What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the official application developed by Ledger® that allows users to initialize their Ledger hardware wallet, manage crypto assets, install apps, and track portfolio performance in real time. Available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS and Android), it ensures you can access your wallet securely wherever you are. With Ledger Live, your private keys always remain offline on your Ledger device, providing industry-leading security.
Begin Your Wallet Setup with Ledger Live
Setting up your wallet using Ledger Live is simple and user-friendly. Start by downloading the official Ledger Live app from Ledger’s verified website. Once installed, connect your Ledger hardware wallet (such as Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X) to your computer or smartphone. The app will guide you step by step through initializing your device, setting a PIN code, and securely backing up your 24-word recovery phrase.
This recovery phrase is the most critical part of your wallet security. Ledger Live ensures you understand how to store it safely offline, protecting your assets from loss or unauthorized access.
Manage and Secure Your Crypto Assets
After setup, Ledger Live becomes your central dashboard for crypto management. You can add accounts for popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands of other supported assets. The app allows you to send, receive, and verify transactions securely by confirming them directly on your Ledger device.
Ledger Live also includes advanced security checks, ensuring your device firmware and apps are always up to date. By using Ledger Live, you reduce exposure to phishing attacks and malicious software, since all sensitive actions require physical confirmation on your hardware wallet.
Explore Web3, Staking, and Portfolio Tracking
Beyond basic wallet management, Ledger Live opens the door to the broader Web3 ecosystem. You can stake supported cryptocurrencies, earn rewards, and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly through the app. The built-in portfolio tracker provides real-time price updates and performance insights, helping you make informed decisions without compromising security.
Ledger Live also integrates trusted third-party services, allowing you to buy, sell, or swap crypto within the app while maintaining full control of your private keys.
