Introduction

Ledger Live is the companion application to Ledger hardware wallets. It is a desktop and mobile interface used to manage cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys protected on Ledger devices. This presentation summarizes Ledger Live’s purpose, main features, security model, and practical tips for users and organizations deploying hardware wallet-based custody solutions.

Core Features (h3 to describe)

Account Management

Ledger Live allows users to create, import, and view multiple accounts for many blockchains. Users can monitor balances, check transaction history, and manage addresses across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a wide range of altcoins and tokens.

Send & Receive

Transactions are created in the app but must be signed on the physical Ledger device, ensuring the private key never leaves the hardware. The UI guides users through address verification and fee selection for each supported network.

Portfolio & Charts

Ledger Live provides portfolio aggregation, price charts, historical performance, and breakdowns by asset type — useful for tax reporting and portfolio review.

Security Model

Hardware Isolation

Private keys are generated and stored inside the Ledger device’s secure element. Signing occurs on-device. This hardware isolation reduces exposure to malware or compromised host machines.

Recovery Phrase

On first use the device provides a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the ultimate backup — keep it offline, physically secure, and never share it. Use a fireproof safe or a dedicated backup product.

Software & Firmware

Keep Ledger Live and device firmware updated. Ledger Live notifies about app updates and available firmware upgrades; always follow official instructions and verify release sources.

Advanced Capabilities

Staking & Earning

Ledger Live supports staking for select proof-of-stake assets directly from the app. Users can delegate holdings and earn rewards while maintaining custody via the hardware device.

Third-Party Integrations

Ledger Live integrates with certain partner services (swap providers, dapps connectors). Use these integrations carefully; confirm partner reputations and permission scopes before approving on-device.

Accounts & Multi-Device

One recovery phrase can be used to restore accounts across multiple Ledger devices — useful for redundancy. However, store backup copies of the recovery phrase in separate secure locations.

Practical Setup Checklist

Purchase Ledger hardware from the official store or authorized retailers.
Download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger website and verify signatures when applicable.
Initialize the device offline, record the 24-word recovery phrase on a durable medium, and never store it digitally.
Enable passphrase and PIN protection, and learn how to use the device’s display to verify addresses.
Back up the recovery phrase in at least two geographically separated secure locations.

Enterprise considerations

For teams, consider multi-signature setups, dedicated custody hardware, and documented operational procedures for onboarding/offboarding and incident response.

Common User Tips

Verify URLs and Signs

Always access Ledger Live from the official link in this presentation or type the domain directly. Be aware of phishing sites and social media giveaways promising free crypto.

Test Small

New users should first send a small test transaction to confirm flows before moving larger amounts.

Keep Software Updated

System, browser, and Ledger Live updates reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities. Apply updates after confirming official release notes.

Final Thoughts & Resources

Ledger Live is a powerful tool for safely interacting with dozens of blockchains while keeping keys offline in hardware. The combination of device-level signing, recovery workflows, and a polished UI makes it a strong choice for individuals and business users who prioritize security and control.
