Overview

Ledger Live is designed for users and teams who want a secure and intuitive way to manage cryptocurrency portfolios. Ledger Live works with Ledger hardware devices so that private keys never touch an internet-connected computer. Use Ledger Live to add accounts, send and receive crypto, check balances, and interact with supported dApps while consistently requiring on-device confirmation for every sensitive operation.

await ledger.connect();
const address = await ledger.getAddress("m/84'/0'/0'/0/0");
console.log(address);

Security Model & Best Practices

Security is the central promise of Ledger Live. Private keys are generated and stored inside Ledger devices (secure elements or certified chips). Ledger Live communicates with the device using encrypted channels and every transaction or account-sensitive action must be physically confirmed on the device. Ledger Live implements additional safeguards such as firmware update verification, app signing, and strict UI prompts for any address or transaction verifying.

Recommended best practices

Download Ledger Live only from the official Ledger domain.
Keep your recovery phrase offline and in a safe physical place.
Always verify addresses and transaction details on your Ledger device screen before approving.
Use PIN and optional passphrase features for layered protection.
Keep device firmware and Ledger Live up to date to receive security fixes.
