Ledger Wallet™ (formerly Ledger Live) — Interface Overview
A clear, colourful walkthrough of the desktop & mobile interface, user flows, and trusted links.
Executive summary
Ledger Wallet™ is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a consolidated interface to view portfolio balances, manage accounts, install coin apps, send and receive transactions, and access integrated third-party services such as exchanges, staking providers, and dApps. The design focuses on keeping private keys offline while presenting an accessible, modern UX for users of all experience levels.
This presentation includes structured headings (H1→H5), visual styling, and links to official resources so you can jump straight to setup, downloads, device support, developer docs, and security advisories.
Interface overview (H2)
Dashboard & portfolio (H3)
The Dashboard is the main hub. It shows a real-time snapshot of portfolio value (fiat and crypto), recent activity, and quick access tiles for Send, Receive, and Buy. Price widgets update frequently and can be toggled to different fiat currencies in settings.
Accounts & account management (H3)
Accounts are grouped by blockchain and token. Each account view contains a balance summary, transaction history, and action buttons. Adding an account uses your connected Ledger device to derive public addresses securely — the private keys never leave the device.
Send & Receive flows (H4)
The Send flow guides users through amount selection, fee options, and service selection (when comparing partners). Final approval always happens on the physical device, where the transaction details are presented for user confirmation.
Apps & Manager (H4)
Ledger Wallet includes an Apps / Manager section to install coin-specific applications onto your Ledger hardware. This allows the device to interpret and sign transactions for supported chains.
Advanced features (H2)
Staking, swap & integrated services (H3)
Ledger Wallet integrates with trusted third-party providers to offer buy, swap, and stake services directly inside the app. When using a provider, the app displays fees and terms and requires on-device signing for any fund-moving operations.
NFTs & dApp access (H3)
NFT management and dApp connections are available through dedicated sections. Ledger Wallet supports connecting to Web3 services while ensuring the private keys remain offline; interactions require user verification on the Ledger device.
Security model (H4)
Ledger's security model separates the user interface from the secure element. The app acts as a display and transaction broadcaster while signature approvals and private key custody remain on the hardware device. Ledger strongly warns users never to share their recovery phrase and to download software only from the official website.
Best practices (H5)
Always verify the URL before downloading or updating the app.
Never share your 24-word recovery phrase. Ledger staff will never ask for it.
Keep Ledger OS and Ledger Wallet updated; firmware notifications appear in the app.
Use a passphrase only if you understand plausible deniability and backup requirements.
UX guidelines for presentations (H2)
When presenting Ledger Wallet to new users, start with hardware setup and seed backup, then demonstrate day-to-day tasks: adding accounts, receiving funds, and sending small test transactions. Use screenshots of the dashboard, and show on-device confirmation so users understand where security-critical steps happen.
Visual & accessibility notes (H3)
Use high-contrast color combinations for important buttons, provide alt text for screenshots, and keep focus states visible. The app's typography is legible at small sizes, but in presentations increase font size for clarity.
Common questions (H2)
Q: Where can I download Ledger Wallet?
A: Ledger Wallet is available on desktop and mobile. Always download from the official Ledger website or verified app stores.
Q: Is my seed phrase stored in the app?
No — the recovery phrase is never stored in the app. It is generated and kept by the user when initializing the hardware device. The app only reads public keys and transaction data for signing requests.
Closing & next steps (H2)
Use the links on the right for direct access to official resources: setup guides, downloads, developer docs, supported assets and release notes. For live demos, connect a test account and walk through a send/receive cycle ending with on-device confirmation to highlight Ledger's security model.
