📲 What Is Ledger Live®?

Ledger Live® is the official desktop and mobile app developed by Ledger. It allows users to:

  • Manage multiple cryptocurrencies
  • Track portfolio performance
  • Send and receive crypto
  • Buy, sell, and swap digital assets
  • Stake coins for rewards
  • Manage NFTs securely

Best of all, it works hand-in-hand with Ledger’s hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus® and Ledger Nano X®, ensuring your private keys are never exposed online.

🛠️ Getting Started with Ledger Live®

1. Download the App

Visit the official website and download Ledger Live for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android). Always download from the official Ledger site to avoid phishing scams or fake apps.

2. Install and Launch

Install the application and launch it on your device. You’ll be prompted to set a password to protect your Ledger Live access. This is not your wallet PIN or recovery phrase—just a local app password.

3. Connect Your Ledger Device

Plug in your Ledger Nano S Plus® or Nano X® using the provided USB cable (or Bluetooth for Nano X on mobile). Once connected, unlock your device using your PIN code.

4. Set Up or Restore Wallet

  • New Users: Select “Set up a new device” and follow the steps to generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write this down and store it securely offline.
  • Existing Users: Choose “Restore device” and enter your recovery phrase to regain access to your wallet.

⚠️ Never share your recovery phrase with anyone—not even Ledger support.

Once your device is set up, open Ledger Live and connect your hardware wallet. Ledger Live will automatically recognize your device and let you access your accounts after verifying the connection.

For added security:

  • Always confirm transactions directly on the Ledger device.
