Security by Design
The core of Ledger Live’s security is the pairing with a Ledger hardware wallet. Your private keys stay inside the secure element of the device; transactions must be physically verified on‑device. Ledger Live acts as a polished control panel—never exposing your seed phrase to your computer or phone if you follow best practices.
Best Practices
- Initialize your device and write down the recovery phrase offline. Never type it anywhere digital.
- Verify every transaction on the device screen; match amounts, fees, and addresses.
- Keep firmware and Ledger Live up to date—only from the official site.
- Bookmark the trusted URL to avoid phishing and fake installers.
Transparent Permissions
Each operation requires explicit confirmation on your Ledger. This flow reduces the risk of silent approvals or clipboard swaps.
Why It Matters
Self‑custody means you control your keys. Ledger Live helps you keep that control practical, even as you interact with DeFi and NFTs.
