Ledger® Live is the official software application that allows users to securely manage their Ledger® hardware wallets. It enables checking balances, sending and receiving cryptocurrencies, staking tokens, installing blockchain apps, and verifying transactions. Ledger Live is available in both Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and Mobile (iOS, Android) versions, giving users secure and flexible control over their digital assets.
To download Ledger® Live safely:
Ledger Live Desktop is best for full portfolio management, firmware updates, and installing blockchain apps. The Ledger Live App is optimized for mobile devices, supporting Ledger® Nano X via Bluetooth to allow secure asset management on the move.
Connecting to Ledger Live requires entering your device PIN and opening the correct blockchain app. Common issues and solutions include:
Ensure Ledger Live is updated, use the original USB cable, and try another USB port if necessary.
Verify the device is unlocked, the PIN is correct, and the required blockchain app is open.
Check network and firewall settings, temporarily disable VPN or proxy, and ensure Ledger Live is allowed through the firewall.
Clear app cache, reinstall the app, or restart your mobile device to resolve syncing or crashing issues.
Updating firmware and using original cables usually resolves verification issues. Avoid USB hubs or unsupported connections.
