Ledger Live Download & SetupAvailable for Desktop and Mobile (iOS & Android)
The **Ledger Live App** simplifies your crypto journey. From checking your real-time portfolio balance to staking assets and exploring dApps, everything happens in one secure environment. The key to security? Your private keys always remain offline in your Ledger device, with transactions transparently displayed for your approval on the device screen—a process known as Clear Signing.
Portfolio Tracking: Real-time value of 5,500+ assets.
Staking & Earning: Grow your assets directly within the app.
NFT Management: View and manage your digital collectibles securely.
At the heart of the crypto ecosystem, security is paramount. The **Ledger Live Wallet** application is not a hot wallet. It serves as the secure graphical user interface for your Ledger hardware device, which is the true custodian of your private keys. The application allows you to initiate transactions and monitor your portfolio, but it is the physical Ledger device—equipped with a certified Secure Element chip—that signs and authorizes every transfer. This fundamental design ensures that your private keys are **never exposed to the internet**. This cold storage principle is the core reason millions trust Ledger. When you perform an action in Ledger Live, like sending Bitcoin, the app communicates the transaction details to your device. You must then manually verify and approve these details on the device's screen. This crucial two-step confirmation process prevents malware or phishing attacks from fraudulently signing transactions on your behalf.
The robust separation of the user interface (Ledger Live) and the key storage (the hardware wallet) guarantees a level of protection unmatched by software-only solutions. Whether you're using the **Ledger Live Desktop** version on Windows, macOS, or Linux, or the lightweight **Ledger Live App** on iOS or Android, the security guarantee remains the same: **Your keys stay offline.** Always ensure you download the official app only, starting from the official site link below, to avoid malicious imitations. This vigilance is the first step in digital self-custody.
Official Ledger Site: Ledger.com →Starting your journey with your Ledger device and the **Ledger Live** software is designed to be straightforward and secure. The best place to begin is by navigating directly to our dedicated setup page: **Ledger.com/start**. This official guide will walk you through the process of initializing your hardware wallet, securing your 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase, and installing the correct Ledger Live application for your device (be it desktop or mobile). The concept of a traditional **Ledger Live Login** with a username and password does not apply here. Since Ledger Live is a non-custodial interface, it does not store your critical credentials on a server. Your access and control are instead granted by physically connecting your Ledger device and entering your secure PIN code on the device itself.
This non-custodial approach means you maintain absolute sovereignty over your assets. The Ledger Live interface simply reads the public data from the blockchain and prepares the transaction data for your device to sign. If you ever lose access to your computer or phone, your assets are safe, protected by your physical device and your Secret Recovery Phrase. This is freedom in action, ensuring that you, and only you, are in charge.

It's crucial to always obtain the application through the dedicated download section, linked here: #GetTheApp. Never download the software from unofficial sources.

The application is continuously updated to support the latest assets and security features, making it a dynamic, future-proof solution for managing your digital financial life.
The **Ledger Live Wallet** ecosystem is built for more than just secure storage; it's a platform for growth. Through the 'Discover' section of the application, you can securely access decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, swap your assets, and even stake coins to earn passive income, all while your private keys remain protected offline. This integration of utility and security is what truly defines the Ledger experience. Managing your crypto should not be a trade-off between convenience and safety. With Ledger Live, you get both, ensuring your participation in the Web3 world is both active and protected. This comprehensive application acts as the gateway to the vast opportunities within the blockchain space, giving you the tools to truly become your own bank.
