Ledger Live is the comprehensive companion app for your Ledger hardware wallet. It provides a secure gateway to manage, buy, sell, stake, and grow your cryptocurrency portfolio while maintaining full control of your private keys. With support for over 5,500 digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and NFTs, Ledger Live transforms complex blockchain interactions into a user-friendly experience.
Security is at the core of Ledger's design philosophy. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware device, ensuring complete protection against online threats, phishing attacks, and malware. The hardware wallet uses a certified secure chip, similar to those found in passports and credit cards, to safeguard your assets. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your device, adding an extra layer of security that software wallets simply cannot match.
Ledger Live employs end-to-end encryption for all communications between your device and the application. This military-grade security infrastructure has protected billions of dollars in cryptocurrency assets for millions of users worldwide. With regular security updates and firmware improvements, your protection evolves alongside emerging threats in the digital asset space.
Managing your cryptocurrency portfolio has never been easier. Ledger Live provides real-time portfolio tracking with detailed charts and analytics, helping you make informed investment decisions. The intuitive interface displays your complete asset allocation, historical performance, and market movements all in one place. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting your crypto journey, Ledger Live adapts to your needs.
The platform supports seamless buying and selling of cryptocurrencies through integrated third-party services, all while maintaining the security of your hardware wallet. You can also participate in staking programs to earn passive income on supported assets like Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, and many others. The staking rewards are automatically tracked and displayed in your portfolio, making it easy to see your earnings grow over time.
Ledger Live includes a dedicated NFT gallery where you can view, organize, and manage your non-fungible token collection. The gallery supports NFTs from major blockchains including Ethereum, Polygon, and more. With visual previews of your digital collectibles, artwork, and gaming assets, you can appreciate your collection while knowing it's secured by Ledger's hardware-based security. Send and receive NFTs with the same level of protection as your cryptocurrency holdings.

Access popular DeFi protocols, swap tokens, provide liquidity, and explore new financial opportunities without compromising security. The platform supports connections to leading DeFi applications while keeping your private keys safely stored in your hardware device.

Ledger Live is available on desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) and mobile devices (iOS and Android), ensuring you can manage your assets wherever you are. The synchronized experience across platforms means your portfolio is always up-to-date, regardless of which device you use. Mobile users benefit from additional features like account management on-the-go and instant price alerts to stay informed about market movements affecting their holdings.
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. However, you'll need a Ledger hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or Ledger Stax) to access its full functionality. Some services within the app, such as buying crypto or swapping tokens, may charge fees through their respective third-party providers, but the application itself has no subscription costs.
Ledger uses a two-pronged security approach: your private keys are stored in a certified secure chip within your hardware device and never exposed to the internet or your computer. All transactions must be physically verified and approved by pressing buttons on your Ledger device. This "cold storage" method combined with secure element technology provides protection against hacking, phishing, and malware attacks that commonly target software wallets.
Absolutely. When you first set up your Ledger device, you receive a 24-word recovery phrase (also called a seed phrase). This phrase is the master key to all your accounts and assets. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can purchase a new Ledger device and restore all your accounts using this recovery phrase. It's crucial to store this phrase securely offline and never share it with anyone.
Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including all major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and thousands of ERC-20 and other tokens. The platform is continuously adding support for new assets as they gain popularity. You can also manage NFTs from multiple blockchains within the integrated NFT gallery.
Yes, Ledger Live is designed with both beginners and experienced users in mind. The interface guides you through each step of setting up your wallet, managing assets, and making transactions. Built-in educational resources and clear instructions help newcomers understand cryptocurrency security best practices. The hardware wallet requirement ensures that even users new to crypto benefit from professional-grade security from day one.
Definitely. Ledger Live serves primarily as a wallet management tool. You can receive cryptocurrency purchased from any exchange or sent from another wallet, and manage it securely through Ledger Live. The built-in buy/sell features are convenient options, but they're entirely optional. Many users transfer crypto from exchanges to their Ledger wallet for secure long-term storage and management.
