Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live): The all-in-one crypto wallet
Your all-in-one app to buy, manage, grow, and protect cryptocurrencies with Ledger hardware wallets.
Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to provide users with a secure and seamless way to manage digital assets. Whether you're purchasing crypto, monitoring your portfolio, staking coins, or swapping tokens, Ledger Live offers an intuitive interface backed by industry-leading security. As the central hub for all Ledger devices, the app ensures users can interact with cryptocurrencies while keeping their private keys offline, fully protected from online threats.
Available on desktop and mobile, Ledger Live connects to Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, and other Ledger hardware devices, enabling users to enjoy a comprehensive ecosystem built around security, usability, and flexibility. With growing adoption of digital assets worldwide, Ledger Live stands out as one of the safest ways to manage crypto without sacrificing convenience.
The foundation of Ledger Live’s security lies in its direct integration with Ledger hardware wallets. All private keys remain protected inside the secure element chip of the hardware device, never leaving it under any circumstances. Ledger Live simply acts as the interface that visualizes your holdings and facilitates blockchain interactions while the device handles all sensitive cryptographic operations.
This separation ensures that even if your computer or phone is compromised, hackers cannot access or steal your funds. Every transaction requires manual confirmation on the hardware wallet’s screen, creating a powerful multi-layer defense against phishing, malware, and remote attacks.
Ledger Live supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Polygon, and many more. Users can view real-time balances, track historical performance, and organize their portfolios effortlessly. The interface is designed to be clear and visual, making it simple for both beginners and experienced crypto holders to navigate their assets.
Ledger Live integrates trusted partners that allow you to purchase or sell cryptocurrencies straight from the app. Users can buy crypto with credit cards, bank transfers, and other payment methods depending on their region. All purchased assets are sent directly to your hardware wallet, ensuring they remain safe from the moment of acquisition.
With Ledger Live’s built-in swap feature, you can instantly exchange one cryptocurrency for another without sending assets to an external exchange. The process is fast, secure, and entirely controlled through the Ledger interface. This eliminates the risks associated with leaving funds on custodial exchanges.
Ledger Live offers staking services for a wide variety of coins, including Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and Tezos. Staking allows users to earn passive income simply by holding supported assets and participating in blockchain network validation. All rewards are deposited directly into your account, and your assets remain under your control at all times.
Ledger Live provides support for Ethereum and Polygon NFTs, enabling users to visualize, send, receive, and manage their digital collectibles. NFTs are displayed within the app, offering a clean gallery experience integrated directly with your hardware wallet security.
Ledger Live includes multiple security enhancements such as password locking, recovery options, device verification, and firmware update management. The app also performs authenticity checks on hardware devices during setup, ensuring users are interacting with genuine Ledger products.
Ledger Live connects to your Ledger device through USB or Bluetooth, depending on the model. Every transaction initiated within the app must be verified on the hardware wallet’s screen. This ensures complete control over your digital assets and prevents unauthorized transfers.
The combination of Ledger Live + Ledger hardware wallet creates a highly secure environment known as cold storage with convenient access. Users benefit from offline key protection along with an easy-to-use computational interface.
Setting up Ledger Live is designed to be simple and beginner-friendly. The steps usually include:
During setup, users create a PIN and write down their 24-word recovery phrase supplied by the hardware wallet. This phrase must be kept offline and never typed into Ledger Live or any digital device.
Ledger Live, combined with Ledger hardware devices, offers one of the most secure crypto storage environments available. Private keys are always offline, and transactions require physical approval. This ensures full protection against online threats like phishing attacks, malware, and remote hacking.
The dashboard provides a complete overview of all your holdings in one place. You can visualize your portfolio value, recent activity, and market performance, making it easy to monitor your investments.
With Ledger Live, users maintain complete control over their crypto. No third-party custodian holds your assets. This self-custody model aligns with the principles of decentralization and digital independence.
Instead of juggling multiple wallets and exchanges, Ledger Live allows you to perform all essential actions within the same interface:
This unified experience saves time and eliminates unnecessary complexity.

Ledger Live is widely regarded as one of the safest crypto management apps due to its architecture. Private keys never enter the app and stay secured inside the hardware wallet. Even if your device is stolen or compromised, funds remain secure as long as the recovery phrase is protected.
