📱 Ledger Live App

The Ledger Live App is the official mobile application developed by Ledger that allows users to securely manage their crypto assets directly from their smartphone. Designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano X, the app provides a convenient yet highly secure way to monitor, send, receive, buy, and stake cryptocurrencies on the go.

Unlike traditional software wallets, Ledger Live App does not store your private keys on your phone. Your private keys remain securely stored inside your Ledger hardware device, ensuring full protection even if your mobile device is compromised.

🔐 How Ledger Live App Works

Ledger Live App connects to your Ledger hardware wallet using:

  • Bluetooth (for supported devices like Nano X)
  • USB connection (depending on device compatibility)

When you initiate a transaction in the app:

  1. You enter the transaction details.
  2. The details are displayed on your Ledger hardware device.
  3. You physically confirm the transaction on the device.
  4. The transaction is securely signed and broadcast to the blockchain.

This ensures that no transaction can occur without your physical approval.
