What you should know about Ledger Live

  • Secure Command Center: Manage your hardware wallet, stake assets, and track your portfolio through one unified, encrypted interface.
  • Critical Safety: Always verify transaction details on your physical Ledger device screen; the app is just a visual interface for the hardware.
  • Cost Transparency: The app is free to use, but standard network fees (gas) apply for transactions, which you can customize within the interface.
  • Setup Basics: Requires a genuine Ledger device and your 24-word recovery phrase kept strictly offline; never enter this phrase into any app or website.
