Ledger Live is designed exclusively to work with Ledger hardware wallets. The security of your cryptocurrency assets depends on properly setting up and using both your Ledger device and the Ledger Live application. Always ensure you are downloading the genuine Ledger Live application from official sources. Ledger cannot be responsible for assets stored on non-Ledger devices or for users who fail to follow security best practices, including safeguarding their recovery phrase. Cryptocurrency investments are volatile and carry risk; only invest what you can afford to lose. The features and supported assets in Ledger Live are subject to change and may vary by region due to regulatory requirements.
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees for the application itself. However, standard blockchain network fees apply to transactions, and exchange services may include spread fees.
No, Ledger Live requires a Ledger hardware wallet to function fully. While you can download and install the application without a device, you need a Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X to access most features and securely manage your assets.
Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrency assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, and all ERC-20 tokens. New coins are regularly added through application updates.
Ledger Live receives regular updates, typically every few weeks. These updates include new features, security enhancements, support for additional cryptocurrencies, and bug fixes. The application will notify you when updates are available.
Ledger Live stores certain non-sensitive data locally on your device, but your private keys and recovery phrase are never stored in the application. Your cryptocurrency assets are backed up by your 24-word recovery phrase, which can restore your entire wallet on any compatible device.
If you experience problems with Ledger Live, first ensure you have the latest version installed. Check the Ledger Help Center for troubleshooting guides, or contact Ledger Support directly. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, even if they claim to be from support.
