Ledger Live is the official application designed to help users securely manage their digital assets using Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, Ledger Live provides a simple, trusted, and powerful interface to store, send, receive, and grow your crypto assets with confidence. Starting your wallet setup through Ledger Live ensures you benefit from Ledger’s industry-leading security architecture and seamless asset management tools.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a secure desktop and mobile application that connects directly to your Ledger hardware wallet. It acts as the control center for your crypto portfolio, allowing you to manage thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens while keeping your private keys safely offline. With Ledger Live, users retain full ownership of their assets without relying on third-party custodians.

The application supports portfolio tracking, real-time balance updates, secure transactions, staking, and firmware updates—all in one unified dashboard.

How to Begin Your Ledger Live Wallet Setup

To begin, download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. Once installed, connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device using a USB cable or Bluetooth (for supported models). Launch the Ledger Live application and follow the on-screen instructions to set up a new wallet or restore an existing one.

During setup, you will create a PIN code and generate a recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is critical—it is the only backup of your wallet. Ledger Live will guide you step-by-step to ensure this phrase is recorded securely and never shared online.

After completing the setup, Ledger Live allows you to install individual apps for each cryptocurrency directly onto your hardware wallet.
