Introduction
Ledger Live offers a secure ecosystem for managing cryptocurrencies. Developers can integrate their applications and services to interact with Ledger Live, enhancing the user experience while maintaining high-security standards.
Why Integrate with Ledger Live?
Integration allows third-party apps to send and receive crypto transactions, read account balances, and manage supported assets directly from Ledger Live. This ensures secure and seamless interaction for users without exposing private keys.
Integration Methods
- Ledger SDK: Provides libraries and tools for connecting applications.
- APIs: REST and WebSocket APIs allow secure account and transaction management.
- Ledger Connect: Facilitates web app integration with Ledger devices.
Getting Started
To begin, register on the Ledger Developer Portal and obtain API keys. Follow the documentation to implement authentication, signing transactions, and interacting with accounts securely.
Security Considerations
All integrations must follow Ledger's security guidelines. Private keys remain on the device, and all sensitive operations are signed locally. Only use official SDKs and APIs to prevent data compromise.
Supported Cryptocurrencies
Ledger Live supports multiple coins including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other ERC20 tokens. Developers should ensure compatibility with each supported blockchain when integrating.
Testing and Deployment
Use Ledger's sandbox environment for testing integrations. Ensure thorough testing for security and user experience before deploying applications for public use.

Conclusion
Integrating with Ledger Live empowers applications to securely manage user assets, improving convenience while maintaining Ledger’s robust security standards. Developers should always adhere to best practices and use official resources for integration.
