As cryptocurrency becomes an essential part of today’s financial landscape, managing your digital assets securely and efficiently is crucial. Ledger Live is the official software developed by Ledger — one of the world’s most trusted names in crypto security. Designed to work seamlessly with Ledger’s hardware wallets, Ledger Live provides a powerful, user-friendly platform to buy, sell, swap, stake, and track your cryptocurrencies all in one place.
Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned crypto investor, Ledger Live offers everything you need to control your assets safely and effortlessly.
Ledger Live is a versatile application available as both a desktop and mobile app, compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It acts as the control center for your Ledger hardware wallet — like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X — allowing you to manage over 5,500 cryptocurrencies securely.
Unlike web wallets or exchange platforms, Ledger Live integrates with your hardware wallet to keep your private keys offline and secure, protecting you from hacks, phishing scams, and malware.
Ledger Live supports more than 5,500 cryptocurrencies, including popular coins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and thousands of tokens on various blockchains. This extensive support allows you to manage a diverse portfolio without juggling multiple apps.
With Ledger Live, you can add multiple accounts for different cryptocurrencies, view real-time balances, track transaction history, and monitor your portfolio’s performance with an intuitive dashboard. The app shows your total portfolio value and asset allocation in your preferred currency, helping you make informed investment decisions.
Ledger Live has built-in integrations with trusted third-party services, allowing you to buy cryptocurrencies using bank cards or bank transfers directly from the app. You can also swap one cryptocurrency for another instantly and securely, without transferring your funds to an exchange, reducing exposure to risks.
One of Ledger Live’s standout features is the ability to stake supported cryptocurrencies such as Tezos (XTZ), Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot (DOT), and Cosmos (ATOM). Staking helps you earn passive income by participating in network validation, and Ledger Live simplifies this process with easy-to-follow steps and clear reward tracking.
Ledger Live keeps your hardware wallet’s firmware and apps up to date, ensuring you benefit from the latest security patches and support for new cryptocurrencies. Firmware updates are crucial for maintaining device security and functionality.
Ledger Live never exposes your private keys; they remain securely stored on your Ledger hardware wallet. All sensitive operations require physical confirmation on your device, ensuring that even if your computer or phone is compromised, your funds stay protected.
