Built-in DeFi & DEX access
Swap tokens, provide liquidity, and interact with smart contracts safely using vetted integrations and a clear transaction flow.

Security first (always)
Security is the foundation of Ledger Live. The app is built to keep your private keys isolated on a hardware device while giving you intuitive controls and transparent transaction confirmations. Here’s how we keep your assets safe:
Hardware-backed keys
Your seed and private keys never leave the secure element on your hardware device. All signing happens offline, protecting you from remote compromise.
Open source & auditable
Critical components and integrations are open source so researchers and the community can review, test, and help harden security over time.
Permissioned dApp sessions
When you connect to a dApp, Ledger Live shows exactly what is being requested and requires confirmation on the device — not just the screen.
Getting started
Ready to step into secure self-custody? Getting started takes only a few minutes: download the app, pair your hardware device, create or recover a wallet, and explore the features. Always write down your recovery phrase and keep it offline.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — Ledger Live pairs with a hardware device to enable the highest level of protection. Software-only wallets are available but do not provide the same isolation.
Recover your wallet using your recovery phrase on a compatible device. Store the phrase securely and never share it with anyone.
