automatically generates a fresh change address for every new transaction that does not fully spend its inputs. Ledger Live automatically takes care of change, you do not have to track the coins on your change addresses. It is not possible to check which address is your change address in Ledger Live.

Does Ledger generate new address?

Ledger Live automatically generates new addresses using standards (BIP32/BIP39/BIP44) and keeps track of your previous ones. Previous addresses do remain valid, but they don't offer an optimal level of privacy.

Does your crypto address change?

We automatically generate a new address for you after every transaction you make or when funds are moved between your wallet and our storage system. This is done to protect your privacy, so that a third-party cannot view all other transactions associated with your account simply by using a blockchain explorer.
