Tools to help you see the details, stay organized, and make considered decisions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Choose simple labels that describe how you use each account.
Match the asset and network to your intended destination.
Take your time setting up a routine that puts verification first.
Find Ledger Live through the official Ledger website or verified app store listing. Check the publisher and address carefully before downloading.
