Unmatched Security with Ledger

Security is the foundation of everything Ledger builds. With Ledger Live, your digital assets are protected by a combination of software security and hardware wallet encryption. The app never stores or transmits your private keys — they stay safely locked inside your Ledger device.

• Hardware-Backed Security: Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet.
• PIN and Passphrase Protection: Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your device.
• End-to-End Encryption: All data transfers between the app and your Ledger device are fully encrypted.
• Genuine Check: Ledger Live automatically verifies the authenticity of your connected device.
• Open Source: The core components of Ledger Live are open for public review, ensuring transparency.

This multi-layered approach means even if your computer or phone is compromised, your crypto remains safe inside your Ledger wallet. You always have the final say when approving any transaction.
