Official Ledger Live ®— Desktop & Web App for Hardware Wallets

Welcome to the most robust and secure gateway to the decentralized world. In 2026, managing digital assets requires more than just a storage solution; it requires a comprehensive ecosystem that bridges the gap between cold storage security and the agility of modern Web3. Ledger Live™ (now rebranded as the Ledger Wallet App) is the definitive interface for your Ledger Nano, Stax, and Flex devices.

A Unified Vision for Modern Self-Custody

The digital landscape has shifted toward high-performance blockchains and complex DeFi yield strategies. The Official Ledger Live suite has evolved to meet these demands. By combining the power of the Desktop App with the accessibility of the Web & Mobile interface, users can now maintain a "360-degree view" of their entire portfolio without ever exposing their private keys to the internet.

Desktop Excellence

Designed for power users, the desktop version offers deep-dive analytics, multi-account management, and the newly integrated Clear Signing interface to prevent phishing.

Web & Mobile Agility

Sync your accounts instantly via Ledger Sync. Manage your assets on the go using Bluetooth connectivity with the Ledger Nano X, Stax, or the latest Flex models.

New in 2026: The "BTC Yield" Revolution

For the first time, Ledger has introduced native BTC Yield functionalities. Through a strategic collaboration with Lombard and Figment, users can now access yield-bearing LBTC (Lombard BTC) directly through the Ledger interface. This feature allows long-term Bitcoin holders to participate in the Babylon Bitcoin Staking Protocol, securing other networks while keeping their underlying assets under the protection of their hardware device.

This integration is part of the broader Ledger OS™ initiative, which ensures that even the most complex DeFi interactions are "Clear Signed." You see exactly what you are signing on your device's trusted display, eliminating the blind-signing risks associated with traditional software wallets.

Security: The Ledger Donjon Standard

Every line of code in the Ledger Live Desktop and Web App is battle-tested by The Donjon, Ledger’s internal team of world-class security experts. Unlike centralized exchanges or "hot" wallets, Ledger Live never has access to your 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase. Your keys stay in the Secure Element (CC EAL6+ certified) chip of your hardware device.

Seamless Management of 15,000+ Assets

Whether you are collecting high-value NFTs on Ethereum or trading emerging tokens on the Solana ecosystem, Ledger Live provides a unified dashboard. The latest 2026 updates have streamlined the Swap experience, integrating both CEX and DEX aggregators to ensure you get the best rates with minimal slippage. With the new Cross-Chain Bridge feature, moving assets between Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base has never been more intuitive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I use Ledger Live without a hardware wallet?

No. For maximum security, Ledger Live requires a Ledger hardware device (Nano, Stax, or Flex) to verify and sign transactions. You can, however, use the "Watch-only" mode to monitor your balances without connecting your device.

2. Is the Ledger Live Web App safe to use on public computers?

While the Web App utilizes the same hardware-signing security, we recommend only using it on trusted devices. Always ensure you are on the official ledger.com domain to avoid phishing attempts.

3. How does the new "Ledger Sync" feature work?

Ledger Sync allows you to securely synchronize your accounts and settings across multiple platforms (Desktop, Mobile, Web) using end-to-end encryption. You no longer need to manually add accounts on every new device.

4. What should I do if I see a "JWT Token Expired" error?

This is a common synchronization error. Simply refresh the app or restart the Ledger Live Desktop client to refresh your session tokens. Ensure your internet connection is stable.

5. Will Ledger ever ask for my 24-word recovery phrase?

NEVER. Ledger, its staff, and the Ledger Live app will never ask for your recovery phrase. If any website or person asks for these words, it is a scam. Always keep your phrase offline on a physical medium.
