Core features
Hardware-backed security
Private keys stay on your Ledger device — never on your computer — so signing transactions requires physical confirmation.
Multi-asset portfolio
Track Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens and modern blockchains inside one app with unified balance and transaction history.
Buy, Send & Swap
Integrated on-ramps and swap providers allow you to buy crypto with fiat and swap directly inside the app while preserving custody with your hardware device.
Apps & dApps
Connect to decentralized applications securely, sign permissions from your device, and manage tokens and NFTs across chains.
Why security-first matters
Storing private keys on a hardware wallet reduces exposure to malware and remote attacks. Ledger Live complements the device with a clear verification flow: addresses are shown on the device screen for you to validate before signing. Combined with a recovery phrase stored safely offline and best practices like firmware updates, Ledger Live helps keep your crypto ownership resilient against common threats.
| Asset | Amount | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin BTC | 0.182 | $7,200.12 |
| Ethereum ETH | 1.23 | $3,150.40 |
| Solana SOL | 5.4 | $623.98 |
Quick start
- Download Ledger Live for desktop or mobile and install the official Ledger Live app.
- Initialize your Ledger device and write down the recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet — never digitally.
- Connect your device to Ledger Live, add accounts for the assets you want to use, and synchronize.
- Use the built-in buy/swap or connect dApps. Always verify the transaction details on your hardware device before confirming.
Best practices
- Keep firmware updated. Check releases from official Ledger channels.
- Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger will never ask for it.
- Use a passphrase (optional) for a hidden wallet layer if you need stronger separation between accounts.
