Key Features

How Ledger Live Wallet Protects Your Crypto

Security is the heart of Ledger Live Wallet. The app works with Ledger hardware devices so that sensitive operations — signing transactions and storing private keys — happen on the device itself. Ledger Live Wallet uses secure communication channels to send unsigned transactions to your hardware device and only broadcasts signed transactions to the blockchain once you confirm them on the device. Ledger Live Wallet encourages best practices like using a secure PIN, safely storing your recovery phrase, and updating firmware and apps regularly.

Getting Started with Ledger Live Wallet

Start by downloading Ledger Live Wallet from the official Ledger website. After installing, open Ledger Live Wallet and follow the guided setup: create or recover a Ledger device, install apps for the coins you want to manage, and add accounts in Ledger Live Wallet. Ledger Live Wallet will sync your account balances and recent transactions so you can begin sending and receiving crypto. Remember: Ledger Live Wallet will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase in the app — keep the recovery phrase offline and private.
