Find answers to common questions about Ledger Live and get started with confidence
Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, execute transactions, stake assets, and access DeFi services. While your Ledger hardware wallet stores your private keys offline, Ledger Live serves as the bridge between your device and the blockchain, offering real-time portfolio tracking, market data, and a user-friendly experience for all your crypto operations.
Absolutely. Ledger Live is designed with security as the top priority. The application never has access to your private keys, which remain safely stored on your Ledger hardware wallet. All transactions must be physically verified and approved on your device screen. Ledger Live uses industry-standard encryption, undergoes regular security audits, and is open-source, allowing the community to verify its integrity. Your seed phrase is never transmitted or stored by the application.
Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets (Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X, and Stax). The app requires a Ledger device to manage and secure your crypto assets. This hardware component is essential for maintaining the security model that makes Ledger products trusted by millions. However, you can download the app and explore its interface before purchasing a device.
Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all major altcoins. The platform continuously adds support for new assets and blockchain networks. You can manage ERC-20 tokens, BEP-20 tokens, NFTs, and assets across multiple chains. Each supported cryptocurrency has its own dedicated app that you install on your Ledger device through Ledger Live's Manager section.
Staking through Ledger Live allows you to earn rewards on supported cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, Tezos, and more. You maintain full custody of your assets while participating in network validation. Simply select the crypto you want to stake, choose a validator, and delegate your tokens. Rewards are automatically distributed to your account based on the network's schedule. You can unstake at any time, though some networks have unbonding periods.
Ledger Live itself is completely free to download and use. However, when you perform transactions, you'll pay standard blockchain network fees (gas fees) that go to miners or validators, not to Ledger. If you use integrated services like buying crypto, swapping, or staking through third-party providers, those services may charge their own fees, which are clearly displayed before you confirm any transaction.
