Secure Crypto Wallet App & DeFi Gateway
Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application from Ledger to securely manage, send, receive, and stake your cryptocurrencies. It serves as a comprehensive interface to your hardware wallet and also acts as a gateway into decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.
Through Ledger Live, users can connect their Ledger device, view balances, manage multiple accounts, and interact with DeFi protocols while keeping keys offline.
Ledger Live provides a range of features designed to enhance security, usability, and access to DeFi. Some of the most important features include:
(You can deepen this section by detailing each feature: UI walkthroughs, security processes, UX flows, comparisons with other wallet apps.)
Here is a generalized workflow for using Ledger Live with your Ledger hardware device:
Each bulletpoint above can be expanded with step‑by‑step instructions, screenshots (described in text), error handling, cross-device variation, and advanced usage scenarios.
One of Ledger Live’s standout capabilities is its integration into decentralized finance. Through supported modules and third-party connectors, Ledger Live allows users to:

Yes. Ledger Live acts as a user interface. All signing of transactions is done on the hardware device itself, which means your private keys never leave the device. It also includes integrity checks and firmware validation. (You can expand this with internal architecture, threat models, and incident history.)
Ledger Live supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies and tokens across multiple blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, etc.). The exact list depends on ongoing updates—always check the official supported list in the app.
Yes. If your Ledger device is lost or damaged, you can recover your accounts using the 24‑word recovery phrase on a new Ledger device and then open Ledger Live to re-import your accounts.
Ledger Live itself doesn’t charge fees, but network (blockchain) fees apply for transactions. Some integrated exchanges or DeFi protocols may include additional service fees. Expand this answer with examples, fee breakdown, cost optimization.
If Ledger Live fails to detect your device, check USB connections, driver permissions, firmware status, and software version. Sometimes restarting device or app fixes this. Also check firewall or OS privacy settings. Expand this answer with troubleshooting checklists per OS.
