Ledger Live — Your Secure Gateway to Modern Crypto Management

Ledger Live is the official crypto ecosystem designed to give you full control of your digital assets with unmatched hardware-level security. From buying and swapping to staking, tracking, and exploring Web3 — Ledger Live brings everything together in one powerful, user-friendly platform.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official companion app built for Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It acts as your command center for storing, tracking, and managing thousands of crypto assets — all while keeping your private keys offline and protected inside your Ledger device.

With support for over 5,500 cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and DeFi interactions, Ledger Live has evolved into one of the most robust non-custodial crypto platforms available today. Whether you’re building a long-term portfolio or exploring decentralized finance, Ledger Live works as your trusted security layer.

Why Ledger Live Is Trusted Worldwide

Powerful Features That Make Ledger Live Stand Out

1. Unified Crypto Portfolio Dashboard

Ledger Live gives you a beautifully organized overview of your assets. Track balances, real-time prices, charts, and performance trends — all in one place. For new users, the interface feels intuitive. For advanced users, it delivers the depth and accuracy they expect.

2. Buy & Sell Crypto Directly Inside the App

Ledger Live integrates trusted fiat-to-crypto partners, allowing you to purchase crypto without exposing your private keys. Whether buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins, the assets land straight into your hardware-secured account.

3. Swap Thousands of Assets Securely

Swap tokens across multiple chains through integrated exchanges. Every swap is confirmed through your Ledger device, ensuring no unauthorized transaction ever goes through.

4. Staking Made Simple

Ledger Live enables staking for top coins like Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, and Tezos. Enjoy passive rewards while maintaining cold-storage security — something no pure software wallet can match.

5. Secure NFT Management

View, send, and receive NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon — all with hardware-level confirmation. Ledger Live ensures you avoid fake signing requests that commonly target NFT users.

6. Safe Web3 & DeFi Connectivity

Ledger Live acts as your secure bridge to decentralized apps. Whether you’re using DEXs, staking pools, lending apps, or liquidity platforms, every transaction must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device.

How Ledger Live and Ledger Hardware Wallets Work Together

Your Ledger device stores your keys — Ledger Live only interfaces, never controls.

Transaction Verification

Every transaction requires physical on-device confirmation.

Phishing Resistance

Hardware-based screens ensure you're approving only legitimate actions.

Multi-Chain Support

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands more securely.
