The secure gateway to buying, managing, growing, and protecting your crypto assets
Ledger Live is the official companion application developed by Ledger to help users securely manage their digital assets. Designed with both beginners and experienced crypto users in mind, Ledger Live brings together simplicity, security, and powerful functionality in one unified platform.
As cryptocurrencies continue to reshape global finance, the need for a reliable and secure management tool becomes essential. Ledger Live answers this need by allowing users to interact with their crypto holdings while maintaining full control over their private keys.
Key idea: Ledger Live does not store your private keys. You remain the sole owner of your crypto.
Ledger is a global leader in digital asset security, best known for its hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. Since its founding, Ledger has focused on empowering individuals to take ownership of their financial freedom through secure self-custody solutions.
Ledger devices work in combination with Ledger Live to create a secure ecosystem where users can safely buy, sell, exchange, stake, and manage thousands of cryptocurrencies.
Ledger Live integrates directly with Ledger hardware wallets, meaning sensitive operations are validated on a physical device. This significantly reduces exposure to malware, phishing, and online attacks.
Instead of juggling multiple apps and browser extensions, Ledger Live provides a single dashboard to manage your entire crypto portfolio.
The interface is designed to be intuitive, making it accessible even to those who are new to cryptocurrency.
Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Users can download the application directly from the official Ledger website to ensure authenticity.
After installing Ledger Live, users are guided through the setup process for their Ledger hardware wallet. This includes generating a recovery phrase and setting a PIN code.
Once your device is set up, you can add accounts for supported cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live supports thousands of coins and tokens across multiple blockchains.
Ledger Live supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), and many ERC-20 tokens.
Ledger Live allows users to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app through trusted third-party partners. This removes the need to transfer funds between exchanges and wallets.
All transactions remain secured by your Ledger device, ensuring that your private keys never leave your hardware wallet.
Ledger Live enables users to stake supported cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and Tezos. Staking allows users to earn rewards while contributing to network security.
Staking through Ledger Live means you earn rewards while maintaining full custody of your assets.
The portfolio dashboard in Ledger Live provides real-time insights into your holdings, performance, and asset allocation. Users can monitor price changes and track historical performance with ease.
Ledger Live relies on Ledger’s Secure Element technology, the same standard used in passports and credit cards. This ensures that cryptographic secrets remain isolated and protected.
Combined with open-source components and regular security audits, Ledger Live offers one of the most trusted security models in the crypto industry.
Ledger Live respects user privacy by minimizing data collection. Users remain in full control of their assets without relying on centralized custodians.
For newcomers, Ledger Live provides educational prompts and clear explanations throughout the app. This helps users understand blockchain concepts while safely navigating their crypto journey.
Experienced users benefit from advanced features such as custom fees, detailed transaction data, and integration with decentralized applications through Ledger’s ecosystem.
Ledger continues to expand Ledger Live with new features, supported assets, and integrations. The roadmap focuses on improving usability while maintaining the highest security standards.
Ledger Live is more than just a wallet application. It is a comprehensive platform designed to help users securely start and grow their crypto journey. By combining robust security, ease of use, and powerful features, Ledger Live stands as a trusted solution in the evolving world of digital assets.
