Ledger Live is a comprehensive application designed to serve as the central interface for Ledger hardware wallets. It enables users to view balances, manage accounts, install applications, and interact with blockchain networks while maintaining the security guarantees of hardware-based key storage.
By combining usability with robust security practices, Ledger Live simplifies complex blockchain interactions into an accessible experience without compromising control or ownership.
Ledger Live acts as a bridge between the user and decentralized networks. It presents information clearly while delegating sensitive cryptographic operations to the connected hardware wallet, ensuring that private keys never leave the secure environment.
This separation of concerns allows users to explore advanced functionality such as staking, asset management, and application installation with confidence.
Ledger Live was created to reduce the friction associated with managing digital assets securely. Instead of juggling multiple tools, users can rely on a single interface that supports a wide range of networks and use cases.
The application is designed to be intuitive for newcomers while offering the depth required by experienced users. Clear navigation, contextual guidance, and device-level confirmations reinforce safe interaction patterns.
Ledger Live offers a broad set of features that cover everyday asset management as well as more advanced interactions. These capabilities are organized to keep critical actions deliberate and transparent.
Users can create and organize multiple accounts across supported networks. Balances and transaction histories are presented in a clear, consolidated view.
Ledger Live manages applications installed on the hardware wallet, allowing users to add or remove support for different networks as needed.
Supported networks enable users to participate in staking directly through the interface, with confirmations always handled by the hardware device.
The dashboard serves as the starting point for daily interaction. It provides a high-level overview of asset distribution, recent activity, and connected devices.
Asset balances are aggregated and displayed in real time. This overview helps users understand their exposure without needing to navigate multiple screens.
Recent transactions are listed with clear status indicators. Each action can be verified on the device, ensuring transparency at every stage.
Ledger Live follows a consistent workflow that reinforces secure habits. Actions initiated in the application must always be approved on the connected hardware wallet.
Users begin by selecting an action such as sending assets, installing an application, or managing accounts.
Details of the action are displayed on the hardware wallet screen, requiring physical confirmation before proceeding.
Once approved, the signed transaction is broadcast to the network while private keys remain protected within the device.
Ledger Live is built around the principle that software should never have access to private keys. All sensitive operations are delegated to the hardware wallet, minimizing exposure to malware and online threats.
Users are encouraged to keep their devices updated, verify actions carefully, and store recovery information securely offline.
