What is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is the official companion software for Ledger hardware wallets. It allows users to view balances, make transactions, stake supported assets, manage NFTs, and access Web3 applications — all while keeping private keys securely on the hardware device. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

How It Works

Connect Your Device

Link your Ledger hardware wallet (e.g., Nano S Plus, Nano X) via USB or Bluetooth. The app recognises accounts stored on the device.

Secure Transaction Approval

When you initiate send/receive/stake, you must physically confirm the action on your Ledger device — ensuring private keys never leave the hardware. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Security Best Practices

Never share your 24‑word recovery phrase — no legitimate app or support will ever ask you for it.

Keep Firmware Updated

Use the app to check device firmware and install official updates via Ledger Live. Security patches matter.

Verify Official Download Source

Always download Ledger Live from ledger.com or trusted app stores to avoid counterfeit apps. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Hardware Wallet Custody

Your Ledger device and its recovery phrase are the keys to your crypto — the app is a management interface, not a full wallet in itself.
