The desktop version is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and works in tandem with the Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and other Ledger devices.
There are several compelling reasons to choose Ledger® Live as your go-to crypto wallet management platform:
Ledger's strength lies in combining hardware-level protection with software-level ease. Your private keys are stored offline on the hardware device, while the Ledger Live app acts as a secure interface for transactions without exposing your sensitive data.
Track balances, view historical performance, manage multiple accounts, and access deep insights into your holdings—all from a single dashboard.
Buy, sell, swap, or stake crypto directly in the app via trusted third-party providers, such as MoonPay, Coinify, Changelly, and others, without compromising security.
Ledger Live now supports Ethereum and Polygon NFTs, letting you securely view and manage your non-fungible tokens right from the app.
When you choose Ledger, you’re not alone. Ledger® offers a robust support infrastructure with tutorials, live chat, and community engagement.
Getting started with Ledger® Live is simple and only takes a few minutes. Follow these steps:
Go to ledger.com and navigate to the "Download" section. Ensure that you're downloading Ledger Live from the official Ledger® website to avoid counterfeit or malicious versions.
Once downloaded, run the installer compatible with your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux). Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
After installation, launch the app and connect your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or other supported device using a USB cable.
You can either set up your device as a new wallet or restore it from a recovery phrase if you already have one.
Go to the "Accounts" tab and add the crypto accounts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.) you wish to manage.
Navigating the world of crypto security can be overwhelming at times. This is why Ledger® 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 exists—to guide users through any technical issues, answer questions, and ensure you use your hardware wallet and Ledger Live securely.
The Ledger Help Center contains a comprehensive collection of articles, video tutorials, and guides for every feature and issue. It's a great place to search for answers before contacting support.
If you're facing an urgent problem, you can access live chat within Ledger Live or from the support site. The support team is available during business hours and responds quickly.
The Ledger Community on Reddit and other social platforms is filled with experienced users and Ledger staff who share tips, solutions, and the latest updates.
If your issue isn’t resolved through chat or articles, you can submit a support ticket with your device details, OS version, and a description of the problem. Ledger's team usually responds within 24–48 hours.
Follow @Ledger_Support on Twitter (X) for real-time updates, including phishing alerts, downtime notifications, and patch releases.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost or stolen. Write it down and store it in a secure, offline location.
Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase, not via email, phone, or chat. If someone asks, it's a scam. Only enter your phrase on the Ledger device—not on your computer or phone.
Ledger frequently releases updates to improve security and add new features. Enable automatic updates or regularly check for new versions.
