What Is the Ledger Live App?
Ledger Live App is the official companion software designed for Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It acts as a secure interface between your Ledger device and blockchain networks, enabling you to manage crypto assets without exposing private keys.
Unlike online wallets or exchanges, the Ledger Live App keeps private keys safely stored inside the hardware wallet. All sensitive actions must be confirmed physically on the device, ensuring maximum protection.
Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger Live App only displays information and broadcasts approved transactions.

How the Ledger Live App Works
The Ledger Live App connects to your Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth, depending on your device and platform. When you initiate an action such as sending crypto, the transaction details are displayed on the device for verification.
Only after you physically approve the transaction does the Ledger Live App broadcast it to the blockchain. This prevents unauthorized access even if your phone or computer is compromised.
Ledger Live App will never ask for your recovery phrase or PIN. Any website or message requesting this information is a scam.
