Ledger Live is the official application from Ledger, designed to provide a simple, secure, and efficient way to manage cryptocurrency. Whether you are a beginner just entering the crypto world or an experienced investor managing multiple digital assets, Ledger Live is the central hub for accessing your Ledger hardware wallet safely. With a combination of robust security features, a user-friendly interface, and support for thousands of cryptocurrencies, Ledger Live empowers users to take full control of their digital assets.
Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application that connects with Ledger hardware wallets, such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It serves as a secure platform for sending, receiving, buying, and selling cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys safely offline on the Ledger device.
Unlike software wallets, where private keys are stored on your computer or smartphone and are vulnerable to hacking, Ledger Live works in tandem with your Ledger hardware wallet to ensure that your private keys never leave the device. This combination of cold storage with a user-friendly interface makes Ledger Live one of the safest ways to manage cryptocurrencies.
Ledger Live is designed to make cryptocurrency management simple without compromising security. Its key features include:
1. Asset Management
Ledger Live supports over 8,000 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and many ERC-20 tokens. You can track your portfolio in real-time, check balances, and monitor market trends directly from the app.
2. Secure Transactions
When you send or receive crypto, transactions must be confirmed directly on your Ledger hardware device. This ensures that even if your computer or mobile device is compromised, your funds remain secure.
3. Portfolio Tracking
Ledger Live provides a clear overview of your total portfolio value and individual asset performance. You can view charts, historical data, and changes in real-time to make informed decisions.
4. Staking and Earning Rewards
Ledger Live allows users to stake supported cryptocurrencies directly within the app. Staking enables you to earn rewards while keeping your assets securely stored on your Ledger device.
5. Buying, Swapping, and Sending Crypto
Ledger Live integrates with trusted exchange partners, allowing you to buy or swap supported cryptocurrencies without leaving the application. Sending crypto is equally secure, as each transaction is verified on your Ledger device.
