Manage your assets, stake for rewards, and explore Web3 with the ultimate interface for Ledger Nano and Stax devices.
The Ledger Live App® serves as the essential companion to your hardware wallet. While your Ledger device stores your private keys offline, the Ledger Live application provides the visual interface to interact with the blockchain. This "Content Mirror" architecture ensures that while you see your balance and transaction history on your screen, the critical signing process never leaves the hardware's secure enclave.
Our unique Content Mirror Format ensures that your desktop and mobile applications stay perfectly synchronized via encrypted cloud fragments or local Bluetooth handshakes. When you initiate a transaction on the Ledger Live App, the data is mirrored to your device for physical verification—ensuring "What You See Is What You Sign" (WYSIWYS).
In our latest firmware update, we've introduced support for LIGHT Coolers. This software-driven thermal management protocol optimizes the communication frequency between the Ledger Live App and the Secure Element (SE) chip.
The Ledger Live App® is built on three pillars of cryptographic excellence: Isolation, Verification, and Ownership. Unlike "hot wallets," Ledger Live never stores your 24-word recovery phrase on your computer or phone. Instead, it acts as a relay, sending unsigned transaction data to your device and receiving a cryptographic signature in return.
The Ledger Live App interacts exclusively with the BOLOS (Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System) found on Ledger devices. This operating system is the only one in the world that integrates a Secure Element chip with a custom OS, creating a "Light" yet impenetrable layer of defense against software-based attacks.
Integrated with partners like MoonPay and Banxa, allowing you to go from fiat to crypto directly within the Ledger Live App® environment.
Move assets between chains or swap Bitcoin for Ethereum without ever sending your funds to a centralized exchange.
Put your idle assets to work. Stake Solana, Cosmos, or Ethereum directly through the app and watch your balance grow in real-time.
The Ledger Live App® is cross-platform, ensuring a consistent user experience regardless of your hardware. The application uses a React-based framework for high-speed responsiveness and Electron for desktop security isolation.

Ledger Live scans the blockchain for each of your accounts to ensure the balance shown is 100% accurate. This is the "Content Mirror" process where the app mirrors the public ledger's data for your specific addresses.
Yes. Ledger does not store your transaction history on their servers. The app stores a local encrypted version of your account details on your device, which you can clear at any time by resetting the app cache.
