In today’s digital world, security and convenience are at the heart of managing cryptocurrencies. As the crypto ecosystem expands, so does the need for reliable tools that can protect assets while offering powerful management capabilities. Enter the Ledger® Live Crypto™ Wallet App—Ledger’s official companion app that connects seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets to give users complete control over their digital assets.
Whether you're a crypto beginner or a seasoned investor, Ledger Live offers a user-friendly interface combined with industry-leading security features to make crypto management simple, secure, and efficient.
The Ledger Live Crypto™ Wallet App is a multi-asset application designed to work in tandem with Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It allows you to manage, send, receive, buy, sell, swap, and stake various cryptocurrencies—all from a single platform. The app is available on desktop and mobile devices, offering flexibility to manage crypto on the go.
What makes Ledger Live stand out is its balance between usability and uncompromising security. While the app handles your portfolio management and real-time data, the private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger hardware wallet—never exposed to the internet.
Ledger’s system is designed so your private keys never leave your device. Ledger Live acts as a secure interface for transaction management, but signing and confirming those transactions happens directly on your hardware wallet. This offline storage method makes it nearly impossible for hackers to access your crypto remotely.
From Bitcoin and Ethereum to Solana, Cardano, and countless ERC-20 tokens, Ledger Live supports over 5,500 digital assets. You can manage everything in one place, eliminating the need for multiple wallets or exchanges.
Ledger Live provides real-time tracking of your entire crypto portfolio. The dashboard is clean, intuitive, and customizable, showing price movements, total value, and individual asset performance over time.
Through verified partners, Ledger Live lets you buy crypto with a credit card or bank transfer, sell certain assets for fiat, swap tokens across different blockchains, and stake eligible assets to earn rewards. You can do all of this without ever moving your funds to an exchange.
Ledger Live is constantly evolving to meet the demands of modern crypto users. You can connect to decentralized applications (dApps), explore decentralized finance (DeFi), and manage NFTs, all while keeping your private keys protected.
Before using the Ledger Live app, you’ll need a Ledger hardware wallet such as the Nano S Plus or Nano X. These devices are essential for storing your private keys securely. Upon initial setup, you’ll be prompted to:
Create a secure PIN code.
Record your 24-word recovery phrase (the only way to restore your wallet).
Confirm the recovery phrase on your device.
Never share or store this recovery phrase digitally.
Ledger Live is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Once installed, follow the on-screen setup process to connect your device and verify its authenticity.
After connecting your hardware wallet, you can begin adding crypto accounts for assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any supported token. Each account will be managed securely through your Ledger device.
