Ledger Live®™ | Secure Crypto Portfolio Tracker

Overview

Ledger Live is a modern, secure, and user-focused crypto portfolio tracker and manager that puts you in control of your digital assets. Designed to be both approachable for beginners and robust for power users, Ledger Live combines hardware-level security with a polished interface, real-time portfolio insights, integrated staking, app management for supported devices, and transaction history — all in one companion application.

Security-first architecture

At the core of Ledger Live is a security-first architecture that separates sensitive signing operations from the user interface. Private keys remain on a secure hardware device; the software constructs and prepares transactions while the device performs local signing. This model reduces exposure to online threats and ensures signing requires physical access to the device.

Portfolio tracking & insights

Ledger Live provides a consolidated view of your portfolio across supported accounts and blockchains. See current balances, historical performance charts, and asset allocation breakdowns. With customizable time ranges and filters, you can quickly analyze how your investments perform over days, months, or years. Built-in price feeds and market data keep portfolio valuations current.

Easy onboarding & account management

Adding an account is straightforward. Whether importing public addresses for tracking or connecting a hardware device to manage funds, Ledger Live guides you through each step with clear prompts. Manage multiple accounts across different chains, label accounts for easy identification, and organize holdings into categories to keep your financial snapshot tidy.

Staking & rewards

For supported networks, the app supports staking to earn rewards from inside the application. Staking lets you participate in network validation while retaining control of your keys. Ledger Live displays estimated rewards, lockup and unbonding periods, and staking status so you can plan allocations responsibly.

Transaction history & activity

Ledger Live maintains a searchable transaction history with detailed records for each operation. Drill into transaction metadata, view confirmations, and export logs for tax reporting or accounting. The activity feed keeps you informed about incoming transfers, outgoing payments, and staking operations.

App catalog & device management

The app catalog makes it easy to install or remove blockchain apps on supported hardware devices. Manage firmware updates, device settings, and advanced options such as coin visibility and developer modes — all while retaining the security guarantees provided by hardware key storage.

Privacy & local-first approach

Ledger Live prioritizes privacy by minimizing the data it sends to external servers. Computations and many queries run locally where possible, and optional analytics can be disabled so users decide what to share. This local-first approach reduces unnecessary exposure of usage data.

Advanced features & customization

Customize your dashboard with widgets, set price alerts, and pin frequently used accounts. Advanced transaction options allow custom fees, address type selection, and raw transaction review prior to signing on-device for maximum transparency and control.

Supported assets & expansion

The app supports a broad range of cryptocurrencies and tokens across many blockchains. Support is expanded over time via firmware and app updates. If a token isn't natively supported, public addresses can often be monitored and integrated with secondary tools that handle specific token standards.

Safety checklist (detailed)

• Always verify firmware authenticity and install updates only from within the official app.
• Never enter your recovery phrase into a computer or website. Ledger never requests your recovery phrase.
• Use an optional passphrase for account separation, but understand that losing a passphrase can permanently deny access.
• Keep offline, physical backups of recovery material in secure locations; consider geographically separated duplicates.

FAQ & support

Q: Can I recover my funds if I lose my device?
A: Yes — funds are associated with your recovery phrase. Restoring on a compatible device regains access. Back up recovery material before moving substantial funds.

Q: Is Ledger Live open source?
A: Portions of the ecosystem are open-source. Check official repositories for current visibility and licensing.

Important: Always verify support channels and never disclose your recovery phrase to anyone, including support staff.

Community & continuous improvement

A community of users, developers, and security researchers contributes to continuous improvement. User feedback helps prioritize features and compatibility while security researchers report findings via responsible disclosure to improve the platform's resilience.
