Master Your Crypto with Ledger Live


The Ultimate App for Secure Wallet Management

Managing your digital assets doesn’t need to be complicated — and that’s exactly why Ledger created Ledger Live. Whether you're a first-time crypto user or someone managing multiple portfolios, Ledger Live is your secure, all-in-one app that brings together every feature you need to control your crypto with confidence.

Let’s break down what Ledger Live offers, how it works, and why it's one of the safest tools for managing digital currency today.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official software platform for users of Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax. It serves as your dashboard for buying, selling, staking, swapping, and managing cryptocurrency and NFTs — all while keeping your private keys safely stored offline.

Ledger Live is available on both desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), giving you full control no matter where you are.

Why Ledger Live Is Trusted by Millions

Unlike many browser-based or custodial wallets, Ledger Live combines hardware-level security with a user-friendly interface. When paired with a Ledger device, all transactions must be confirmed physically, ensuring no unauthorized action can happen — even if your computer is compromised.

Every function inside Ledger Live is designed to work hand-in-hand with this offline security model.

Key Things You Can Do with Ledger Live

Here’s what makes Ledger Live an essential part of any secure crypto setup:

✔ Manage 5,000+ Coins and Tokens

From Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to stablecoins and ERC-20 tokens, Ledger Live supports thousands of digital assets — with automatic portfolio tracking in real time.

✔ Buy, Sell, and Swap Securely

Built-in partners let you purchase crypto, convert one coin to another, or cash out — all from within Ledger Live. Everything is delivered directly to your hardware wallet, avoiding centralized storage.

✔ Stake and Earn Rewards

Staking is simple through Ledger Live. You can earn passive income by staking coins like ETH, DOT, XTZ, and SOL — with full visibility of your rewards and validator choices.

✔ Send and Receive with Full Protection

Ledger Live allows you to send and receive crypto securely. Every outgoing transaction requires approval on your Ledger device, adding an extra layer of verification.

✔ NFT Management

Ledger Live also supports Ethereum and Polygon NFTs. You can view, receive, and send NFTs safely, with full transaction signing via your device.

How Ledger Live Works with Your Ledger Wallet

When you connect your Ledger Nano or Ledger Stax, Ledger Live acts as a secure interface between you and the blockchain.

  • Private keys never leave the hardware wallet
  • All actions — even simple ones like checking balances — are verified securely
  • Only signed, confirmed transactions reach the blockchain

This structure ensures that your funds are protected even if your computer or smartphone is compromised.

Getting Started with Ledger Live

To begin, install Ledger Live from the official Ledger website or your device’s app store. Then:

  1. Connect your Ledger wallet via USB or Bluetooth
  2. Download apps for the coins you want to manage
  3. Add your accounts
  4. Begin managing, sending, receiving, or staking crypto

The interface is designed to be intuitive, even for those new to crypto.

Security Features You Can Count On

Security is the foundation of Ledger Live. Here’s what keeps you safe:

  • Offline key storage using your Ledger hardware wallet
  • Physical transaction approval for every send or swap

Your recovery phrase is never shown in Ledger Live, and should only be handled directly through your hardware wallet.
