Ledger Live® – Securely Manage Your Crypto Assets in One Place

Ledger Live® is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to help users securely manage, buy, sell, stake, and grow their cryptocurrency portfolio. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced crypto investor, Ledger Live provides a powerful yet user-friendly interface that puts complete control of your digital assets in your hands.

With increasing security threats in the crypto ecosystem, using a trusted application like Ledger Live® alongside a Ledger hardware wallet ensures maximum protection for private keys, transactions, and sensitive data.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application that connects directly to Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It acts as a secure dashboard where users can manage thousands of crypto assets without exposing private keys to the internet.

Unlike web wallets or exchange apps, Ledger Live never stores your private keys online. All approvals are verified on your hardware wallet, giving you full ownership and unmatched security.

Key Features of Ledger Live®

🔐 Advanced Security

Ledger Live works in combination with Ledger’s secure element chip, ensuring your assets remain protected even if your computer or smartphone is compromised.

📊 Portfolio Tracking

Monitor real-time balances, market prices, and asset performance across multiple accounts—all from a single interface.

🔄 Buy, Sell & Swap Crypto

Ledger Live allows users to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app using trusted third-party providers.

💰 Staking & Earning

How Ledger Live Works with Ledger Hardware Wallets

Ledger Live acts as a bridge between the blockchain and your Ledger device. When you initiate a transaction:

  1. The transaction is prepared inside Ledger Live
  2. Details are sent to your Ledger hardware wallet
  3. You physically confirm the transaction on the device
  4. The signed transaction is broadcast securely

This process ensures complete isolation of private keys, which never leave the hardware wallet.
