Ledger® Live - Getting Started | official Ledger Wallet App

Master Your Crypto Journey with the Ledger Live Wallet™

In the rapidly evolving world of Web3, security isn’t just a feature—it’s a necessity. The Ledger Live Wallet™ (now officially known as the Ledger Wallet™ app) serves as the ultimate command center for your digital assets. By bridging the gap between your secure hardware and the digital frontier, it allows you to manage, grow, and protect your portfolio with military-grade precision.

Whether you are a seasoned "HODLer" or a newcomer to decentralized finance (DeFi), understanding how to leverage the Ledger Live Wallet® ecosystem is the first step toward true financial sovereignty.

🚀 Key Highlights: Why Millions Trust Ledger

• True Self-Custody: You own your private keys; your assets never leave the safety of your device’s Secure Element chip (CC EAL5+ or EAL6+ certified).
• All-in-One Interface: Buy, sell, swap, and stake over 5,500+ cryptocurrencies and tokens within a single application.
• Ledger Sync™ Technology: Seamlessly synchronize your accounts across Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Mobile (iOS, Android) without compromising privacy.
• Clear Signing Protection: Say goodbye to "blind signing." Verify every transaction detail—amount, address, and fees—directly on your hardware screen before approving.
• Integrated dApp Browser: Access a curated selection of decentralized apps (Lido, 1inch, Rainbow) through the Discover section.

🛡️ Security That Never Sleeps

The primary philosophy of the Ledger Live Wallet™ is simple: Don't Trust, Verify. While software-only "hot" wallets are vulnerable to online hacks and malware, Ledger keeps your private keys completely offline.

When you initiate a transaction in the app, it remains in a "pending" state until you physically press the buttons on your Ledger Nano S Plus™, Nano X®, or Ledger Stax™. This physical "proof of intent" is the gold standard of crypto security. In 2026, with the rise of AI-driven phishing attacks, this air-gapped barrier is more critical than ever.

📈 Growing Your Wealth with Ledger Live™

The Ledger Live Wallet™ isn't just a vault; it's an engine for growth. Users can put their idle assets to work through several native features:

1. Staking Rewards: Earn passive income by staking assets like Ethereum ($ETH$), Solana ($SOL$), and Polkadot ($DOT$) directly through the app.
2. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Automate your investments. Set up recurring buys for Bitcoin ($BTC$) to mitigate market volatility and build long-term wealth.
3. Cross-Chain Swaps: Exchange tokens across different blockchains instantly through integrated partners, maintaining full control of your keys throughout the process.

Pro Tip: Always ensure you are using the official version of the software. To guarantee your security, only download the app from the official Ledger.com portal. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone—not even Ledger support.

🎨 NFT Management and Web3 Personalization

Digital ownership extends beyond currency. The Ledger Live Wallet™ provides a rich visual gallery for your NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon. You can view your collectibles, check their metadata, and send them securely. For owners of the Ledger Stax™ or Ledger Flex™, you can even customize your device’s E Ink® lock screen with your favorite NFT, turning your hardware into a personalized piece of tech art.
