Security & Peace of Mind
At the heart of Ledger Live is the security provided by Ledger hardware wallets. When you connect your device, Ledger Live communicates securely — but all sensitive operations, such as signing transactions, occur on the hardware device itself.
Ledger hardware wallets use a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+) and custom OS to isolate your private keys. Even if your computer is compromised, your keys remain protected. Ledger Live never stores your recovery phrase or keys — they always stay offline.
- Transaction signing is done on-device — never exposed to the internet.
- Firmware updates and patches ensure security stays up to date.
- Secure backup via 24-word recovery phrase (BIP39) stored offline.
- Hardware-based PIN protection and automatic lockouts after failed attempts.
- Open-source tool transparency and community audits.

Always download Ledger Live from Ledger.com/start to avoid counterfeit or malicious app versions. Your security starts with using the correct and verified software.
