You can send crypto assets from your accounts in the Ledger Live application to a recipient address. Use your Ledger device to verify and approve the transaction.
Security tip
Always send a small amount first. Then verify that the transaction was properly received on the recipient address before proceeding to send larger amounts. If there's a doubt whether a transaction has gone through, simply check back a few minutes later.
Before you begin
- Get the Ledger device that manages the account to debit.
- Check that the right app is installed on your device. Ex: install the Bitcoin app to send Bitcoin.
Enter transaction details
- Click Send on the left panel.
- Type or use the drop-down list to select the account to debit.
- Enter the Recipient address. For optimal security, make sure always to double-check addresses that you copy and paste.
- Enter the Amount of the crypto asset to send, or its countervalue*.
- Choose the Network fees from the drop-down list. A higher fee leads to a faster processing of the transaction. Learn more...
