One place to see your crypto.
Your keys stay yours.
Managing cryptocurrency gets easier when you have a clear view of your accounts and transactions. Ledger Live—now known as Ledger Wallet—is a companion application for managing supported digital assets with a compatible Ledger hardware wallet.
Use the desktop app to review balances, check activity, receive cryptocurrency, and prepare supported transactions. When a transaction needs authorization, you approve it on your physical device—not in the app alone.
App meets hardware. Ledger Wallet provides the interface; your compatible Ledger device keeps your private keys under your control and authorizes transactions.

Connect and configure
your Ledger device.

Choose the new-device option and complete initialization directly on the hardware wallet.
Follow Ledger's official restoration instructions. Restore only on a genuine Ledger device when its setup process requires it.
Never type your recovery phrase into a website, online form, chat, or computer application. It should remain private and offline.
Bring supported assets
into view.
Open account management and install the relevant cryptocurrency applications on your Ledger device as instructed. The applications you need depend on the blockchain and assets you plan to manage.
Add the supported accounts you want to track. Your dashboard can then show account balances and transaction history. Different cryptocurrencies use different networks—check compatibility before transferring anything.
Verify first.
Confirm on device.
Check the address
Select the right account and generate a receiving address. Compare it with the address on your Ledger device whenever verification is available. Confirm the sender uses the matching network.
Review every detail
Enter the destination and amount, then carefully review network fees and transaction details. Verify the information on your hardware wallet before approving.
Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. Take the extra moment to verify recipient addresses, networks, amounts, and fees.

Use a trusted computer and keep its operating system updated.
Confidence comes
from careful habits.
