Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger® hardware wallets, serving as your primary interface for comprehensive cryptocurrency management. Unlike traditional software wallets, Ledger Live operates in conjunction with your physical Ledger® device, ensuring your private keys never leave the secure hardware environment.
Ledger Live represents the perfect synergy between uncompromising security and user-friendly functionality. While your Ledger® hardware wallet stores your private keys in complete isolation, Ledger Live provides the interface to monitor your portfolio and initiate transactions that require physical confirmation on your device.
Begin your secure crypto journey by visiting the official setup portal at Ledger.com/start. This comprehensive guide walks you through the entire process:
