- Day, week, and all-time chart views
- Values in your local currency
Organize accounts your way
Rename accounts to match goals like “Travel fund,” and star daily checks so the rest stay quiet.
Follow every transaction
Each account holds transfers, swaps, fees, and confirmation status — late deposits usually explain themselves.
Device connectivity
Your device stays in charge
A window, not a vault: keys never leave the device. Connect over USB, match the on-screen address, and approve by button.
- Keep firmware current before pairing
- Match every address with the device display
- Disconnect when finished on shared computers
Security practices
Small habits that protect everything
Most losses come from rushed clicks. Slow down, double-check addresses, and guard your recovery phrase like a master key.
Getting started
Set up Ledger Live in four steps
From download to first transaction in under half an hour.
Download officially
Install only from ledger.com, then let the app check for updates on first launch.
Set up your device
Choose a PIN and carefully write down the 24-word recovery phrase.
Add accounts
Connect the device and add Bitcoin, Ethereum, or whichever assets you hold.
Receive and verify
Match the address on the device screen, then send a small test first.
Updates
Stay current without the stress
Updates bring new assets and security fixes. Update inside the app; touch firmware only with the device connected and your phrase accessible.
Helpful user tips
Work smarter every day
Name accounts clearly. Labels like “Rent” prevent sending from the wrong pot.
Test tiny first. A trial transfer confirms the address before the real one.
Time your fees. Busy hours cost more; waiting often saves real money.
Export monthly. A regular CSV export makes tax season far easier.
Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
Short, honest answers to the questions newcomers ask most.
Is Ledger Live free to use?
Yes. Portfolio tracking is free; you only pay standard network fees when sending or swapping.
Do I need a hardware device?
For real holdings, yes — a paired device approves every action. Price browsing works without one.
What if I lose my device?
Assets live on the blockchain. A replacement restored with your 24-word phrase regains access.
Why is my balance not updating?
Usually the app needs a refresh. Sync again, check your connection, and install pending updates.
Is this the official Ledger website?
No. This hub is an independent guide with no Ledger affiliation. Always download from ledger.com.
