A concise presentation-style briefing you can copy into a slide or a website. Explains what Ledger Live is, why it matters, how it works, and where to get official resources.

1. Executive Summary

Ledger Live is the official desktop & mobile companion app for Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a single interface to manage multiple crypto accounts, view real-time portfolio balances, send and receive assets, and access supported DeFi and Web3 services — all while keeping private keys secured by Ledger hardware devices. This presentation summarizes features, security principles, supported assets, and recommended user workflows.

Key points

2. What is Ledger Live?

Definition

Ledger Live is a secure wallet application that acts as the user interface for Ledger hardware wallets. It lets users create and manage accounts for different cryptocurrencies, verify and sign transactions using the Ledger device, and maintain visibility over holdings without exposing seed phrases or private keys in the host computer or phone.

Who it’s for

Hobbyist holders, professional self-custodians, institutions evaluating hardware-backed custody, and developers building integrations with Ledger-supported flows.

3. Core Features (H3)

Portfolio & Accounts

Real-time portfolio view across multiple accounts and blockchains. Users can add accounts, view transaction history, and get a unified balance dashboard.

Transactions & Signing

All transaction signing happens on the hardware wallet, so even if the host is compromised the private key never leaves the device. The app displays transaction details and prompts the user to confirm on their Ledger device.

Staking & Services

Ledger Live offers staking for select assets and access to partner services (swap, buy/sell, tokenized assets) through integrations that extend functionality without exposing keys.

4. Security Model (H3)

Hardware-backed security

The backbone of Ledger Live’s security model is the hardware wallet: secure elements that isolate private keys and require physical confirmation for critical actions. This reduces attack surface compared to software-only wallets.

Seed phrase & recovery

Seed phrases (recovery phrases) are generated on the device and must never be entered into Ledger Live or any website. Ledger has published guidance and additional products (e.g., Ledger Recovery Key) to help users with secure recovery options.

5. Supported Assets & Compatibility (H3)

Ledger Live supports thousands of cryptocurrencies either natively or via partner integrations and third-party wallets when necessary. The supported assets list is maintained on the official Ledger site and is updated regularly as new chains and tokens are added.

Developer integrations

Developers can build apps and integrations using Ledger’s developer portal and APIs to interact with Ledger Live or to enable hardware-backed signing inside their dApps.

6. How to get started (H3)

  1. Purchase an authentic Ledger hardware wallet from the official store or authorized reseller.
  2. Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website and install it on your device.
  3. Initialize the Ledger device, create a PIN, and write down your recovery phrase offline.
  4. Open Ledger Live, add accounts for the assets you hold, and follow on-screen instructions for transfers or staking.
