Using Ledger Live – Your Crypto Dashboard

After setup, you’ll manage everything through Ledger Live. This is your central command center, offering powerful features like:

  • Viewing your portfolio in real-time
  • Sending and receiving crypto safely
  • Buying, swapping, and selling supported assets
  • Staking coins to earn rewards
  • Installing apps for specific crypto blockchains
  • Accessing NFT and DeFi integrations

Best of all, your private keys always stay offline, protected by your Ledger device.


What Coins and Tokens Can You Store?

Ledger wallets support 5,000+ cryptocurrencies and tokens, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • XRP, BNB, ADA, MATIC
  • All major ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens

You can install specific apps for each coin through Ledger Live to enable full functionality.


Security Tips Every Ledger User Should Know

Once you’re set up, here’s how to stay protected:

  • Always update your Ledger Live app and device firmware
  • Use a unique, hard-to-guess PIN
  • Never share your 24-word seed phrase with anyone
  • Don’t store your recovery phrase on cloud services or emails
  • Beware of fake websites and scam emails
  • Use passphrase protection for advanced security
  • Activate hidden wallets if needed

Ledger gives you the tools, but staying secure is up to you.


What If I Lose My Ledger Wallet?

It’s okay — if you’ve saved your recovery phrase, you can get your crypto back.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Get a new Ledger device
  2. Open Ledger Live and select “Recover wallet”
  3. Enter your 24 words in the correct order
  4. Restore your accounts and access your funds again

Your assets are never stored on the device — they live on the blockchain. The device + phrase = access.
