A colourful, copy-ready HTML presentation that uses semantic headings (h1→h5), clear sections, code samples and 10 official links for quick access to Ledger resources.
Overview
What is Ledger Wallet™ (formerly Ledger Live™)?
Ledger Wallet™ is the official companion application for Ledger hardware devices. It provides a secure interface to manage accounts, check balances, install apps on your device, and interact with integrated services such as swaps, staking, and decentralized applications. This presentation helps developers and integrators get started with the Developer Portal and the Live Wallet ecosystem.
Goals of this guide
Explain the installation and pairing flow for Ledger devices.
Show how to access developer docs and integration points.
Highlight security best-practices, UX patterns and submission process.
Who is this for?
This is for dApp builders, exchange/integration teams, SDK authors, and internal product managers who want a compact, on-brand starter page for Ledger Wallet integrations.
Getting started — Setup
Step 1 — Install Ledger Wallet on your device
Download Ledger Wallet™ from the official Ledger website or your device app store. Always verify the domain is ledger.com and prefer official app store listings for mobile installs.
Step 2 — Initialize or connect a hardware device
Follow the onboarding on the device. Do not share your recovery phrase with anyone. Use the Ledger Wallet app to install currency-specific apps to your hardware device and to create accounts that will appear in the Wallet UI.
Step 3 — Developer-friendly flows
Developers can use the Developer Portal to learn how to embed flows (on-device signing, account display, Live Apps) and how to submit apps for distribution.
// Example: open connection to Ledger device (webusb)
const transport = await TransportWebUSB.create();
const app = new AppBtc(transport);
const info = await app.getWalletPublicKey("44'/0'/0'/0/0");
console.log(info);
Developer Portal — Integrations & Docs
Live Apps and SDKs
The Developer Portal hosts SDKs, integration documentation and submission paths for Live Apps and device apps. Read the docs for clear signing and UX recommendations before starting integration.
Integration types
Blockchain integration: Add support for a chain and tokens using the provided submission templates.
Live Apps: Web apps embedded inside Ledger Wallet where users can safely interact.
Exchanges & partners: Integrate buy/swap/earn flows via Ledger-approved providers.
Submission & review
Follow the Developer Portal’s deliverables list and provide clear documentation, installation steps, and security rationale for your app submission.
Security best practices
Never ask users for recovery phrases
Any UX that requests a seed phrase is malicious. Guide users to only enter seeds on the physical device during setup and never inside an application or website.
Verify downloads & app signatures
Always point users to official download pages and verify checksums when available. Educate users about phishing sites and fake apps — use official store links for mobile installs.
On-device verification
Use clear signing to display human-readable transaction details so users can verify amounts, addresses, and fees on the device screen before approving.
Resources & links
Below are the most useful official resources for developers and users. Use them as canonical references when building or supporting integrations.
