Security Built by Design

Ledger Live Wallet integrates deeply with Ledger’s secure hardware wallets, which isolate private keys from internet exposure. Every transaction you initiate through Ledger Live must be physically verified and approved on your Ledger device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain safe.

• Hardware-Level Protection: Private keys never leave the secure element chip inside your Ledger device.
• End-to-End Encryption: Communication between Ledger Live and your hardware wallet is fully encrypted.
• Anti-Phishing Verification: Verify addresses on your device screen before confirming any transaction.
• Open-Source Transparency: Ledger Live’s core components are open source, allowing community audits.
• Regular Updates: Frequent firmware and software updates ensure you always have the latest security patches.

With these layered protections, Ledger Live combines the convenience of software wallets with the security of hardware devices — giving you the best of both worlds.
