Version 2.59.0 | All downloads are signed and verified
Ledger Live is the official companion software for Ledger hardware wallets, providing a seamless interface to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. With support for over 5,500 digital assets, Ledger Live allows you to securely manage your crypto, stake tokens to earn rewards, exchange assets through partner services, and buy crypto with fiat currencies.
The application is designed with security as the foremost priority, ensuring that your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet. All transactions must be physically confirmed on your device, providing an additional layer of protection against malware and phishing attacks. Ledger Live also offers portfolio tracking, historical transaction data, and market information to help you make informed decisions about your investments.
Ledger Live incorporates state-of-the-art security measures to protect your digital assets. The application works in tandem with your Ledger hardware wallet, where all private keys are stored in a secure element chip isolated from your computer or smartphone. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your cryptocurrencies remain safe.
Regular automatic updates ensure that you always have the latest security enhancements and feature improvements. The application verifies itself upon each launch to guarantee integrity, and all downloads are cryptographically signed to prevent tampering. With Ledger Live, you maintain complete control over your funds without sacrificing security or convenience.
Ledger Live supports Windows 10 and later (64-bit), macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and later, and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04+, Fedora 24+, or similar distributions). The application requires a minimum of 4GB RAM and 200MB of available disk space. For optimal performance, we recommend using the latest version of your operating system and ensuring that your device has an internet connection for synchronization and updates.
To use Ledger Live, you will need a Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X) and the supplied USB cable. The application will guide you through the setup process if you are new to Ledger, or seamlessly connect to your existing device if you are already using one.
After downloading and installing Ledger Live, launch the application and connect your Ledger device using the supplied USB cable. If this is your first time using a Ledger, the application will guide you through the device setup process, including generating your recovery phrase—the most critical element of your wallet security.
For existing Ledger users, simply connect your device and follow the prompts to access your wallet. We recommend exploring the settings to customize your experience, enabling developer mode if needed for experimental features, and exploring the Manager section to install apps for different cryptocurrencies.
Ledger provides comprehensive support resources for Ledger Live users, including detailed documentation, troubleshooting guides, and a responsive customer support team. The application itself contains helpful tooltips and explanations for all major functions, making it easy to learn and use even for beginners.
For advanced users, Ledger Live offers API access and developer tools to create custom integrations and automate workflows. The application is regularly updated with new features, support for additional cryptocurrencies, and enhancements to existing functionality. Ledger's extensive knowledge base and active community forums provide additional resources for troubleshooting and learning.
