📱 What is the Ledger Live App?

Ledger Live App is the official mobile application developed by Ledger that allows users to securely manage their cryptocurrency portfolio using a Ledger hardware wallet, such as the Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax. The app acts as a companion to your device, enabling you to send, receive, buy, sell, stake, and swap crypto directly from your phone.

The Ledger Live App is available on iOS and Android and is designed to work seamlessly with Ledger devices using Bluetooth (for Ledger Nano X and Stax) or USB (with mobile adapters or OTG cables for Nano S Plus). It brings secure, on-the-go access to your digital assets, combining convenience with top-tier security.

🔐 Why Use the Ledger Live Mobile App?

The Ledger Live App gives you full control over your crypto assets anytime, anywhere. Unlike hot wallets or exchange-based apps, Ledger Live ensures your private keys are never exposed online. All sensitive actions—like signing a transaction—must be confirmed directly on the hardware wallet.

This model of mobile crypto management offers:

  • Hardware-based security on a mobile platform
  • Real-time portfolio tracking
  • Access to buy, swap, and stake features
  • A non-custodial experience where you are the only one who controls your crypto

If you’re using a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Stax, Bluetooth support means you don’t even need a cable to connect your wallet to your phone. This makes the experience fast, flexible, and secure for everyday use.

⚙️ How to Use the Ledger Live App

1. Download the App

Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for “Ledger Live.” Download and install the official app from Ledger.

2. Set Up or Restore Wallet

Open the app and choose whether to set up a new Ledger device or pair an existing one. You’ll be guided through connecting your device via Bluetooth (Nano X/Stax) or USB.

If you’re setting up a new wallet, your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down and store it safely—it’s your only backup. If restoring, enter the phrase directly on your device.

3. Add Crypto Accounts

After pairing, you can install coin-specific apps (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) and add crypto accounts through the app. This allows you to view balances, transaction history, and manage different assets.

4. Send and Receive Crypto

To receive, tap "Receive," choose the account, and confirm the address shown on your Ledger device. To send, tap "Send," enter the recipient address and amount, and confirm on the device.

5. Use Additional Features

  • Buy Crypto: Purchase digital assets using integrated providers and receive them directly in your wallet.
  • Swap Crypto: Exchange one asset for another within the app using secure third-party services.
  • Stake Crypto: Earn rewards by staking coins like ETH, DOT, and ATOM.
