Get started with Ledger Live

How it works

Ledger Live is a bridge between you and the blockchain. It lets you create accounts, view balances, send and receive tokens, and sign transactions using a Ledger hardware wallet (like Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X). The app itself is never in control of your private keys — it simply requests signatures from the device.

Core steps:

Install Ledger Live on your desktop or mobile device.
Pair and unlock your Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth.
Create or restore a wallet using your 24‑word recovery phrase (keep this offline and secret).
Add accounts for each blockchain you use and manage assets securely.

NFTs — safe and simple

Ledger Live enables collectors to manage NFTs without compromising security. Instead of importing a custodial copy of your art, Ledger Live reads NFT metadata from the blockchain and shows a preview when available. Signing any transfer or sale requires confirmation on your hardware device, ensuring you stay in control.

Security best practices

Security is layered. Ledger Live helps enforce strong practices but your vigilance matters. Follow these fundamentals:

Never share your 24‑word recovery phrase with anyone or enter it on a website or app.
Always verify transaction details on your Ledger device screen before confirming.
Keep firmware and Ledger Live updated to receive security enhancements and new features.
Enable device passcode and use a secure environment when signing transactions.

Getting started — quick checklist

Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website and verify the installer.
Initialize your Ledger hardware wallet and write down your recovery phrase on the provided card — never store it digitally.
Open Ledger Live, create a new profile, and add accounts for the blockchains you use.
Move a small test amount first to confirm your setup before transferring larger sums.
