What Is Ledger Live?

A gentle bridge between heart and chain, where your keys stay hidden, your peace remains.

Ledger Live is the friendly companion for your Ledger hardware wallet. It is the place where you see your crypto odyssey — bright with balances, quiet with security. Desktop or mobile, it whispers: “I keep your keys safe. I help you send, swap, stake, and watch your portfolio thrive.”

Designed to give you full control, without exposing you to online storms. Your private keys never leave the hardware. Transactions must be confirmed on your device. Everything else? Just the view, the tracking, the tools.

Simple Tips / Gentle Warnings

• Never share your recovery seed with anyone. Ledger Live will never ask you for it. Keep it offline. Write it. Safe. Hidden. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
• Always download Ledger Live from ledger.com. Beware of copycats, fake apps. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
• Use a strong PIN. Change it if you think someone may have seen or guessed. Only you know it. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
• Keep firmware updated. Old firmware can have unseen cracks. Live updates guard your gate. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
