Frequently Asked Questions

No, Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax). The app requires a connected Ledger device to access most features, as your private keys remain securely stored on the hardware wallet at all times. This is a security feature, not a limitation.
You should update Ledger Live whenever a new version is available. Updates typically include security enhancements, new features, performance improvements, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. The app will notify you when updates are available. Always verify that you're downloading updates from the official Ledger website or through the app's built-in update mechanism.
Yes, Ledger Live supports staking for several proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies including Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM), Tezos (XTZ), and more. The staking process is straightforward: simply navigate to the "Earn Rewards" section, select the cryptocurrency you wish to stake, and follow the instructions. Your assets remain secured by your Ledger device throughout the staking process.
Ledger Live stores your transaction history locally on your device. Your financial data never passes through Ledger's servers. The application uses end-to-end encryption to synchronize your portfolio data across your devices without exposing sensitive information. For enhanced privacy, you can disable portfolio synchronization in the settings.
Losing a device with Ledger Live installed does not compromise your cryptocurrency. Since your private keys are stored exclusively on your Ledger hardware wallet, not on the device running Ledger Live, your funds remain secure. Simply install Ledger Live on a new device, connect your hardware wallet, and you'll regain access to your accounts. Remember that your 24-word recovery phrase is your ultimate backup - keep it secure and offline.
