Ledger hardware wallets are built around the principle of self-custody — you own and control your private keys. The device keeps your keys offline inside a secure chip, preventing exposure to hacks or malware.
The combination of Ledger hardware and Ledger Live software provides the strongest possible defense for your digital assets.
Ledger Live is the all-in-one application for managing crypto assets and interacting with your Ledger device. Available for desktop and mobile, it allows you to:
Ledger Live connects to your hardware wallet whenever a transaction requires signing, keeping your private keys completely offline and secure.
During setup, your Ledger generates a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your crypto wallet — if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, it allows you to recover your funds.
