Ledger Live | Secure Crypto Wallet & Portfolio Manager — Ledger®

Ledger Live is the official software application developed by Ledger® to help users securely manage their crypto assets. It serves as a powerful companion to the Ledger hardware wallets, offering an all-in-one solution for buying, selling, sending, receiving, staking, and tracking a wide range of cryptocurrencies. Designed for both beginners and experienced users, Ledger Live combines ease of use with cutting-edge security features to give users complete control over their digital portfolios.

All-in-One Crypto Management

Ledger Live acts as a central hub for managing your crypto assets. Once paired with a Ledger hardware wallet — such as the Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X — the app enables users to interact with their digital currencies in a secure and user-friendly environment. Unlike web wallets or exchanges, Ledger Live ensures that your private keys never leave your device, adding a strong layer of protection against online threats.

From a single interface, users can check their balances, monitor the market, manage accounts, and even stake crypto to earn rewards. The application is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, ensuring access across devices.

Seamless Setup and Use

Getting started with Ledger Live is simple. After installing the app, users connect their Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth, depending on the model. The app will then guide you through the process of setting up your device, creating a PIN code, and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase — your ultimate backup.

After setup, you can install apps for various blockchains (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) directly within Ledger Live. Once installed, users can add corresponding crypto accounts and begin managing their assets with full visibility and control.

Broad Asset Support

Ledger Live supports thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), and ERC-20 tokens. New cryptocurrencies are regularly added through software updates, keeping the platform current and flexible.

Token management is straightforward — users can view balances, send and receive funds, and even swap tokens using integrated services. With support for DeFi and NFTs via third-party integrations, Ledger Live gives access to the growing Web3 ecosystem.

Buy, Sell, Swap, and Stake

Ledger Live also integrates several crypto services that allow users to buy, sell, swap, and stake their cryptocurrencies — all while keeping private keys safe within the Ledger device. These features are offered through verified partners and can be accessed without ever leaving the Ledger Live interface.

Staking is available for multiple coins like Tezos, Polkadot, and Ethereum, allowing users to earn passive income directly within the app.

Unmatched Security

Security is Ledger’s top priority. With Ledger Live, all sensitive operations — such as signing transactions — must be verified on the physical hardware wallet, protecting you from phishing attempts and software-based attacks. Your recovery phrase is generated offline and never exposed online, giving you full control over your keys and assets.
