FAQ (top questions)

Q: Is Ledger Live custodial?
A: No. Ledger Live is a management interface. You always control your private keys on your Ledger device.

Q: Can I recover my accounts if I lose my device?
A: Yes. Use your 24-word recovery phrase with a compatible Ledger device or supported recovery tool. Ledger cannot recover it for you.

Q: Do I need an internet connection?
A: Yes — Ledger Live syncs blockchain data and price feeds. Transactions are signed offline on your device.

Q: Are my balances stored on Ledger servers?
A: No. Ledger Live fetches public blockchain data; account state is derived from the blockchain and local cache.

Q: What if the app asks me to update firmware?
A: Firmware updates include security and performance fixes. Only update from official Ledger Live prompts and verify the update flow.

Q: Can I use Ledger Live Mobile and Desktop at the same time?
A: Yes — accounts can be used across Ledger Live Desktop and Ledger Live Mobile. Some flows differ slightly due to device interfaces.
