A BETTER WAY TO KEEP PERSPECTIVE

One companion.
A more connected view.

Ledger Live is a companion application for managing crypto assets with compatible Ledger hardware wallets. It can bring portfolio information, accounts, and device-related actions together—while your private keys remain protected by your hardware wallet.

This independent guide explains the main areas of the experience in plain language. It is designed to help you explore thoughtfully, understand what each screen is for, and make security part of your normal workflow.

◎Useful context, not financial advice. Digital assets carry risk. Always verify important details through official channels before taking action.
MADE FOR YOUR EVERYDAY ROUTINE

Everything, with a little more clarity.

Tools to help you see the details, stay organized, and make considered decisions.

01 / SEE THE WHOLE

Portfolio management

Review supported asset balances and estimated portfolio value at a glance. A consolidated view can make it easier to notice changes without hopping between account screens.

02 / CREATE ORDER

Account organization

Keep different assets and purposes distinct with clearly named accounts. A naming convention—such as by asset or goal—helps you understand where you are before you act.

03 / FOLLOW THE DETAILS

Transaction tracking

Check transaction activity and its status from the relevant account. Review addresses, networks, fees, and confirmations carefully; a status label is a useful reference, not a substitute for verification.

04 / CONNECT WITH CARE

Device connectivity

Connect a compatible hardware wallet to access relevant accounts and approve supported actions on the device. Follow on-screen prompts and confirm transaction details on the wallet itself.

YOUR ASSETS, YOUR STRUCTURE

Organization that
makes sense to you.

Accounts can help separate assets by network or purpose. Give each one a name you will recognize later, and take a moment to confirm the account details before sending or receiving.

01

Name accounts clearly

Choose simple labels that describe how you use each account.

02

Review before you act

Match the asset and network to your intended destination.

A THOUGHTFUL FIRST SESSION

Getting started, step by step.

Take your time setting up a routine that puts verification first.

01

Get the genuine app

Find Ledger Live through the official Ledger website or verified app store listing. Check the publisher and address carefully before downloading.

02

Connect your device

Use the connection method shown for your compatible hardware wallet. Follow setup prompts on the device and never share your recovery phrase.

03

Add and explore

Add relevant accounts, review the portfolio view, and explore features at your own pace. Confirm every important action on your hardware wallet.

YOUR SECURITY IS A HABIT

Pause. Check. Confirm.

Ledger Live is designed to work with a Ledger hardware wallet, but safe use still depends on your choices. Keep recovery information private and verify the details of each action.

✓

Never enter or share your recovery phrase in an app, website, message, or support conversation.

✓

Verify recipient addresses and transaction details directly on your hardware wallet display.

✓

Ignore unsolicited support messages and download updates only from trusted official sources.

A recovery phrase controls access to assets. Anyone who obtains it may be able to take them.
KEEP THINGS CURRENT

Updates are part of good upkeep.

Current app and device software can include compatibility improvements and security fixes. Check update information from Ledger's official channels, confirm you are using a genuine app, and read prompts before proceeding. Never disclose your recovery phrase to install an update.

SMALL HABITS, MORE CONFIDENCE

Helpful tips for a steadier routine.

Simple checks can make crypto management feel less complicated.

01

Slow down on transfers

Double-check the asset, network, recipient, and amount before confirming.

02

Keep a clear record

Use consistent account names and note the purpose of each account securely.

03

Be wary of urgency

Unexpected messages demanding quick action are a reason to pause and verify.

GOOD QUESTIONS TO START WITH

A few things
worth knowing.

Short answers to common Ledger Live questions.

Is this the official Ledger website?+

No. This is an independent informational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Ledger. For downloads, account-specific help, and product details, visit Ledger's official website.

What does Ledger Live do?+

Ledger Live is a companion application that works with compatible Ledger hardware wallets. Depending on availability and supported assets, it can help you review accounts, portfolio information, and transactions.

Does Ledger Live store my recovery phrase?+

Your recovery phrase should remain private and offline, under your control. Never type it into Ledger Live, a website, or a support chat. Anyone requesting it is not providing legitimate support.

Why should I verify a transaction on my device?+

Your hardware wallet provides an independent place to check transaction details before approval. Confirm the address, amount, and network on its display, not only on your computer or phone.
