1. Ledger Live: The **Official App** for **Crypto Portfolio** Protection
**Ledger Live** is not just software; it is the comprehensive **Wallet App** interface for your **Ledger hardware wallet**. It bridges the gap between the offline security of your device and the dynamic demands of the market. Our commitment to making **self-custody** easy means integrating every tool needed for proactive **cryptocurrency management** within one highly secured environment. Download the **Official App** to begin viewing and protecting your **digital assets** with unparalleled **digital security**.
Unwavering Self-Custody
Unlike custodial exchanges, Ledger Live is a non-custodial **Wallet App**. Your private keys never leave the certified Secure Element chip (CC EAL5+) inside your **Ledger hardware wallet**. The application simply acts as a visual and navigational interface, displaying your balances and creating unsigned **secure transactions**. The physical device is always required to authorize any movement of your **digital assets**.
The Seamless Portfolio Experience
From the moment you connect your Ledger device, the **Ledger Live Official App** begins building your real-time **Crypto Portfolio**. It fetches market data and transaction history to provide an accurate, unified view of your entire crypto wealth across thousands of supported coins. This is the only view you need for complete **cryptocurrency management**.
Note: Always verify the application signature to ensure you are using the legitimate **Ledger Live Official App** and maintaining optimal **digital security**.
2. Mastering Your **Crypto Portfolio** with Real-Time Data
The **Crypto Portfolio** dashboard in **Ledger Live** is designed for the modern investor. It provides instant valuation metrics, letting you track your performance against historical benchmarks. This level of transparency is key to intelligent **cryptocurrency management**, helping you allocate risk and identify growth opportunities for your **digital assets**.
Performance Charts
View daily, weekly, and yearly performance to understand market movements.
Diversification Metrics
Instantly see the percentage breakdown of your **digital assets** holdings.
Fiat Value Tracking
Switch between various fiat currencies (USD, EUR, etc.) to evaluate wealth accurately.
This powerful visualization is integrated directly with the security of your **hardware wallet**. You can check your balances, analyze trends, and make plans without ever needing to connect your device, minimizing exposure and maximizing the convenience of a true **Wallet App** while upholding the highest standards of **digital asset security**.
3. Three Tiers of **Digital Asset Protection**: PIN, Recovery, and Passphrase
Maximum **digital security** relies on overlapping layers of defense. The **Ledger Live Official App** facilitates the management of all three critical security components.
Tier 1: The PIN Code (Device Lock)
The mandatory **PIN code** is required every time you connect your **hardware wallet**. It defends your device against unauthorized physical access. If your device is lost or stolen, the PIN prevents immediate access to your **Crypto Portfolio** and private keys. Repeated incorrect entries will securely wipe the device, rendering it useless to an attacker.
Tier 2: The **24-word Recovery Phrase** (Master Key)
This is the single most important element of your **self-custody**. It is the cryptographic backup for all your **digital assets**. **Ledger Live** will ask you to confirm this setup, but it is **never** entered into the computer. It is an offline master key. Keep it physically secure, away from your device and away from any digital connection. This is the **Official App's** core requirement for disaster recovery and ultimate **digital asset protection**.
Tier 3: The Optional **Passphrase** (Hidden Wallet)
For advanced **cryptocurrency management**, Ledger Live supports the optional 25th word, or **Passphrase**. This creates a second, **hidden Wallet App** that is only accessible when you enter the Passphrase in addition to your PIN. This feature provides Plausible Deniability and an extraordinary level of **digital security**. If coerced, you can safely give up your primary PIN and standard **Crypto Portfolio**, while your hidden funds remain protected by the secret 25th word.
4. The Transaction Shield: Executing **Secure Transactions**
On-Device Verification
This is the non-negotiable step. Every **secure transaction** initiated in the **Ledger Live Wallet App**—sending funds, **staking** delegation, or smart contract approval—must be confirmed on the Ledger screen. You verify the recipient address and amount on the device, ensuring the computer or the **Wallet App** has not been compromised by malware attempting to hijack the transaction.
Ecosystem Integration (Swap & Staking)
The **Official App** safely integrates services like **Staking** and **Swapping**, allowing you to grow and diversify your **Crypto Portfolio** without ever risking your keys on an exchange. All operations are signed securely on your **hardware wallet**, maintaining continuous **self-custody** throughout the process.
