Ledger® Live®® — Official App for Managing Your Ledger Wallet

Ledger Live: Your Secure Gateway to Managing Digital Assets

Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to give users a secure, intuitive, and powerful way to manage their digital assets. Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, Ledger Live provides everything you need to buy, sell, swap, stake, and track crypto assets—while keeping full control of your private keys.

With Ledger Live, security and usability come together. The app connects seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, ensuring that your crypto remains protected by industry-leading security standards while still being easy to manage from one central interface.


What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application developed by Ledger to help users manage their cryptocurrency portfolios securely. Unlike web wallets or exchanges that hold private keys on your behalf, Ledger Live works in combination with Ledger hardware wallets, meaning your private keys never leave your device.

This architecture ensures that sensitive transactions are approved directly on the hardware wallet, protecting users from phishing attacks, malware, and unauthorized access. Ledger Live acts as a trusted interface, giving you visibility and control without compromising security.


One App, Total Control

Ledger Live simplifies crypto management by bringing multiple features into a single application:

  • Portfolio tracking across multiple cryptocurrencies
  • Secure buying, selling, and swapping of assets
  • Staking to earn rewards on supported coins
  • NFT management and visualization
  • Real-time market data and price tracking

Instead of juggling multiple apps or platforms, Ledger Live lets you manage everything in one place—securely and efficiently.


Advanced Security You Can Trust

Security is at the core of Ledger Live. When paired with a Ledger hardware wallet, every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device. This means even if your computer or smartphone is compromised, your funds remain protected.

Key security features include:

  • Offline private key storage – Private keys never touch the internet
  • Transaction verification on device – You see and approve every action
  • PIN and passphrase protection – Extra layers of user security
  • Open-source components – Transparency and continuous auditing

Ledger Live does not collect sensitive user data or store private keys, ensuring that you remain the sole owner of your crypto assets.


Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto with Ease

Ledger Live integrates trusted third-party providers to allow users to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app. This eliminates the need to move assets to external exchanges, reducing exposure to risks.

You can purchase crypto using bank transfers, credit cards, or other payment methods, depending on your region. Swapping between assets is fast and convenient, with clear fee transparency before each transaction.

All transactions are still confirmed on your Ledger hardware wallet, maintaining the highest level of security.


Stake Crypto and Earn Rewards

Ledger Live enables users to stake supported cryptocurrencies directly from their wallet. Staking allows you to earn passive rewards while keeping full custody of your funds.

Supported staking assets include popular networks such as Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Tezos, and others. Ledger Live provides clear insights into rewards, lock-up periods, and validator performance, helping users make informed decisions.

Unlike centralized platforms, staking through Ledger Live ensures that you remain in control of your assets at all times.


Manage NFTs Securely

Ledger Live supports NFT management across compatible blockchains. Users can view, send, receive, and manage NFTs directly from the app while keeping private keys secured by their Ledger device.

NFT transactions require on-device confirmation, protecting users from malicious smart contracts and unauthorized transfers. This added layer of security makes Ledger Live a trusted solution for collectors and creators alike.


Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

Ledger Live provides a clear and customizable overview of your crypto portfolio. Users can track asset balances, historical performance, and real-time price changes across supported cryptocurrencies.

The dashboard helps you understand how your investments are performing at a glance, with detailed charts and breakdowns available for deeper analysis. Whether you manage a small portfolio or a diverse set of digital assets, Ledger Live keeps everything organized and accessible.


Multi-Platform Compatibility

Ledger Live is available on both desktop and mobile platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. This allows users to manage their crypto assets wherever they are, without compromising security.

The app syncs seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, ensuring a consistent experience across devices. Mobile support enables convenient access while still requiring physical confirmation on the hardware wallet for critical actions.


Designed for Beginners and Experts Alike

Ledger Live is built to accommodate users at every stage of their crypto journey. Beginners benefit from guided setup, clear instructions, and an intuitive interface, while advanced users appreciate the depth of features and control available.

Educational content within the app helps users understand crypto concepts, transaction fees, and security best practices. This makes Ledger Live not just a management tool, but also a learning platform.
