Functions Of The Ledger Live

The Ledger Live is built to serve the following purpose.

1. It gives you an overview of all your cryptocurrency portfolio activities i.e;

• Check your balance for each crypto at a glance
• It displays a full history of all your transactions.
• Manage your crypto assets at the same time.

2. Send and receive your cryptos.
3. To set up your new Ledger wallet.

Note: The “Ledger Live” does not expose your private keys to the internet, because of the security chip embedded in your Ledger wallet, thus even in a virus-infested computer, your crypto is still safe.

What You Need 

You need these items in place before the app can be of any help to you;

1. A Ledger Nano S or X device
2. A computer with at least Windows 8+(64-bit), MacOS 10.9, or Linux Ubuntu 16.10 (64-bit).
