Frequently asked questions

Is Ledger Live free?

Yes — Ledger Live is free to download and use. Standard network fees for transfers still apply.

Can I use Ledger Live without a Ledger hardware device?

Ledger Live displays certain information without a device, but to manage funds (send/receive, sign transactions) you need to pair a Ledger hardware wallet so private keys stay protected.

How do I update Ledger firmware?

When an official firmware update is available, Ledger Live will prompt you. Follow on-screen steps carefully and never interrupt a firmware update once it has started.

What if I lose my Ledger device?

If you lose the physical device, your funds remain recoverable using the 24-word recovery phrase on any compatible wallet. Treat your recovery phrase like the keys to a safe — keep it offline and secure.
