Ledger® Live Wallet (Official)

What is Ledger® Live?

Ledger® Live is the official companion application for Ledger® hardware wallets. It provides a single interface to manage accounts, send and receive Bitcoin and altcoins, check portfolio value, install apps on the device, buy or swap crypto, and keep your seed & firmware up to date. For initial setup, official guidance is available at ledger.com/start.

Core Features

• Secure key storage using a Ledger® hardware wallet (private keys never leave the device).
• Portfolio overview and transaction history.
• Built-in buy/sell/swap integrations and staking where supported.
• Multi-account management for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of tokens.
• Official troubleshooting and support resources for Ledger Live and hardware at ledger.com.

Setting up your Ledger® Wallet

To set up, download the Ledger Live app on desktop or mobile, follow the step-by-step onboarding at ledger.com/start, and initialize your Ledger® hardware wallet. During setup you'll create a PIN and receive a recovery phrase — write this seed down and store it offline. Never share your recovery phrase or enter it into websites.

Troubleshooting Ledger Live

If Ledger Live doesn't detect your device, fails to sync, or shows errors, try: updating Ledger Live, installing the latest Ledger Manager/Bridge (if applicable), reconnecting the device, trying another USB cable/port, and verifying firmware. Official troubleshooting guides and support can be found under "Ledger Live app Troubleshooting" and the support area on ledger.com.
