Get answers to the most common questions about Ledger Live Wallet security, features, and functionality.
Ledger Live Wallet is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It serves as your interface to manage cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys secure on your Ledger device. The app connects to your hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth, allowing you to view balances, send/receive crypto, stake assets, and access DeFi applications while maintaining the highest security standards. Your private keys never leave the hardware device, ensuring maximum protection against online threats.
Ledger Live supports over 15,000 cryptocurrencies across 50+ blockchain networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Polygon, Avalanche, and many more. The platform supports major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL, MATIC, DOT, as well as thousands of ERC-20, BEP-20, and other token standards. NFT support is also available for popular networks. The list of supported assets is continuously expanding based on community demand and security audits.
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. However, you'll need a Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax, or Flex) to use the application securely. Network transaction fees (gas fees) apply when sending cryptocurrencies, which go to blockchain miners/validators, not to Ledger. Some integrated third-party services like exchanges for buying/selling crypto may charge their own fees. Staking through Ledger Live may have validator fees, but Ledger itself doesn't charge additional fees for staking services.
Ledger Live provides superior security compared to software-only wallets because it requires a physical hardware device for all transactions. Your private keys are generated and stored on the Secure Element chip inside your Ledger hardware wallet, which is the same technology used in credit cards and passports. This means your keys are never exposed to internet-connected devices, making remote attacks virtually impossible. The app also features clear transaction signing, anti-phishing protection, and regular security updates from Ledger's security team.
Yes, you can install Ledger Live on multiple computers and mobile devices. Your portfolio data syncs across devices when connected to the same Ledger hardware wallet. However, for security reasons, you can only connect your hardware wallet to one device at a time. You can use Ledger Live on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Each installation can connect to multiple Ledger devices if you have more than one hardware wallet for different purposes or security setups.
If you lose your Ledger device, your funds are still safe and recoverable. During the initial setup of your Ledger device, you received a 24-word recovery phrase (seed phrase). This phrase can be used to restore your accounts on any new Ledger device or compatible hardware wallet. It's crucial to store this recovery phrase securely offline and never share it with anyone. You can purchase a new Ledger device and use your recovery phrase to regain access to all your cryptocurrencies. This is why proper backup of your recovery phrase is essential for cryptocurrency security.
