What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is an all-in-one crypto management app designed to work hand-in-hand with Ledger’s hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. It offers a complete, streamlined solution for managing, monitoring, and transacting cryptocurrencies and NFTs—while ensuring that your private keys remain offline and secure.

Available on both desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS and Android), Ledger Live empowers users to safely interact with their assets wherever they go.

Why Choose Ledger Live?

🔐 Best-in-Class Security

Ledger Live is built to work with Ledger hardware wallets, meaning your private keys never leave your device. Every transaction must be verified physically, ensuring that you are always in control. This significantly reduces the risk of hacking or phishing attacks.

💼 Manage 5,500+ Coins & Tokens

From Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) to emerging altcoins and stablecoins, Ledger Live supports a wide array of digital assets. You can store, track, and manage all your holdings in one unified dashboard.

💱 Buy, Sell, and Swap in App

Through trusted third-party integrations, Ledger Live allows you to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly from within the app. Your purchased crypto is deposited straight into your Ledger wallet—eliminating the need for risky centralized exchanges.

🌱 Earn Passive Income

With staking functionality for coins like Ethereum, Tezos, Polkadot, and Solana, Ledger Live allows you to earn rewards while keeping full control over your assets.

🖼️ NFT Visualization & Management

Ledger Live also supports NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon. You can view, manage, and send your NFTs directly from the app, ensuring they are protected by your Ledger hardware wallet at all times.
