Who it’s for

It abstracts complexity without compromising control: power under the hood, simplicity on the surface.

Core features

Ledger Live is built around a few core design principles: keep private keys offline, make operations auditable, and provide transparent tools for portfolio management. The main features you’ll use every day include:

Secure transactions: Approve every transfer on your Ledger device so your keys never leave secure hardware.
Asset management: View balances, receive/send funds, and organize accounts by asset, account type, or custom labels.
Swap and exchange: Quickly swap tokens within the app through integrated liquidity partners.
Staking and earning: Stake supported assets to earn rewards without exposing your keys.
Activity & notifications: Keep track of confirmations, staking schedules, and security alerts.

Security & best practices

Security is the heart of Ledger Live. The app is designed to complement a Ledger hardware device that isolates private keys, making it extremely difficult for attackers to steal funds. Recommended best practices include:

Always buy Ledger devices from official channels and verify the device integrity.
Keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it. Ledger staff will never ask for your recovery phrase.
Use a passphrase for extra account separation and plausible deniability when required.
Enable system-level security (biometrics, PIN, etc.) on your phone and desktop for app access.
