How to Get Started with Ledger Live Desktop

Ledger Live Desktop is the official software for managing Ledger hardware wallets. By using Ledger Live, you can access multiple cryptocurrencies, manage transactions, update firmware, and maintain complete control of your assets safely from your desktop environment.

Begin by downloading Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. The application is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable.

Ledger Live will guide you through initializing your device or restoring an existing wallet. If you are creating a new wallet, a 24-word recovery phrase will be generated. This phrase is the key to recovering your funds and must be kept offline in a safe location. Never store it digitally or share it online.

Firmware updates are a critical part of the setup process. Ledger Live ensures your device is running the latest firmware, protecting you from vulnerabilities and providing access to new features. All updates are verified within the application for maximum security.

Once set up, Ledger Live Desktop allows you to track your portfolio, receive and send cryptocurrency, and install apps for supported coins on your Ledger device. Every transaction requires verification directly on the device, keeping your private keys safe from hackers.

Ledger Live supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of tokens. Its open-source firmware guarantees transparency and security, giving users confidence in the safety of their assets.

By following official setup instructions, you ensure your wallet is secure from the start. Keep Ledger Live updated, store your recovery phrase safely, and enable additional protections such as PIN codes or passphrases. Ledger Live provides a user-friendly, secure way to manage all your crypto assets from desktop.
