Seamless **Ledger Portfolio Setup** and Comprehensive **Asset Management**
Transform your Ledger **Hardware Wallet** security into a powerful **Portfolio Management** tool. The **Ledger Live Wallet** is your secure, all-in-one dashboard for tracking, transacting, and growing your **Crypto Assets** with total confidence and robust **Secure Connectivity**.
Begin Your **Account Setup**Phase 1: Setting Up Your Accounts in the **Ledger Live Wallet**
Adding accounts is the essential first step of **Ledger Portfolio Setup**. Unlike exchanges, each account you create is a separate address on the blockchain, secured individually by your **Hardware Wallet**.
Install Crypto App on **Hardware Wallet**
Before you can add an account in **Ledger Live**, you must first install the corresponding app (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) onto your Ledger device. Use the Manager section in **Ledger Live** to install the necessary application, which allows the **Hardware Wallet** to understand and sign transactions for that specific blockchain. This ensures full **Secure Connectivity**.
Initiate **Account Setup** Process
Navigate to the Accounts tab in **Ledger Live Wallet** and click 'Add account.' Select the crypto asset you installed on your device. Follow the on-screen prompts, which will require you to unlock your **Hardware Wallet** and open the corresponding crypto app on the device. **Ledger Live** handles the secure pairing process seamlessly.
Wait for **Blockchain Synchronization**
Once authenticated by your device, **Ledger Live** queries the blockchain to identify any existing addresses linked to your Ledger's cryptographic seeds. This process, known as **Blockchain Synchronization**, creates the secure address where you will manage your **Crypto Assets**. The wallet names the account, and you are ready to receive funds.
Phase 2: Advanced **Portfolio Management** Features
The **Ledger Live Wallet** is designed for more than just storage; it’s a powerful tool for visual tracking and decision-making for all your **Crypto Assets**.
The Centralized Portfolio Dashboard
The primary Portfolio screen provides an immediate, unified overview of all your **Crypto Assets**. Every account added via the **Account Setup** process is aggregated here. This centralized view eliminates the need to check multiple block explorers or exchanges, saving time and simplifying **Asset Management**. Key metrics available include your total portfolio value, distribution by asset class, and historical performance charts (daily, weekly, yearly).
- **Value Tracking:** Real-time valuation based on market data for all supported **Crypto Assets**.
- **Performance Metrics:** Detailed graphing showing realized and unrealized gains over custom periods.
- **Currency Conversion:** Easily switch the primary display currency (USD, EUR, etc.) for instant calculation of your holdings.
Transaction History and **Secure Connectivity**
Within each account, you can review a detailed, verifiable history of every transaction. Because the **Ledger Live Wallet** is constantly performing **Blockchain Synchronization**, this history is always accurate and directly verifiable on the network.
All send and receive operations rely on **Secure Connectivity**. When receiving, the **Hardware Wallet** verifies the address before displaying it on the screen. When sending, the *entire* transaction is signed offline by the device’s **Secure Element** after you verify the amount and destination on the device screen—a non-negotiable step for maximum **Digital Security**.
Phase 3: Expanding Your **Asset Management** Horizons
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, **Ledger Live Wallet** offers seamless support for thousands of ERC-20 tokens, enabling sophisticated **Portfolio Management** within a secure environment.
Token and NFT Integration
For assets built on smart contract platforms like Ethereum or Polygon, you do not need to perform a separate **Account Setup** for every token. Once your main Ethereum account is added, **Ledger Live** automatically detects and displays all associated tokens (**Crypto Assets**) sent to that address after **Blockchain Synchronization**. This simplified approach to **Asset Management** ensures your ERC-20 tokens and NFTs are secured by the same Ethereum private key on your **Hardware Wallet**.
NFT viewing capabilities are also integrated directly into the **Ledger Live Wallet**, allowing you to appreciate your digital collectibles alongside your main portfolio without compromising **Secure Connectivity**.
The Discover Section: Integrated Services
The Discover section turns **Ledger Live** into a gateway to the wider Web3 ecosystem, all while retaining the security of your **Hardware Wallet**. Use this area for services like staking, swapping, and accessing DeFi apps (DApps).
- **Staking:** Delegate your **Crypto Assets** (like DOT, ETH, ATOM) to earn passive rewards directly, with the delegation process secured by your device.
- **Swapping:** Trade one crypto for another through integrated partners, where the final transaction confirmation is always performed on your **Hardware Wallet** screen.
- **Lending & DeFi:** Access carefully selected DeFi protocols, ensuring all crucial interactions are signed and verified by your device, adhering to the highest standards of **Digital Security**.
