Ledger Live Wallet — Securely Manage Your Crypto in One Place

The Ledger Live Wallet is your all-in-one platform for securely managing cryptocurrency with confidence. Designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, Ledger Live gives you full control over your digital assets while keeping your private keys protected offline.

Whether you’re buying your first Bitcoin, staking crypto for rewards, or managing a diverse portfolio, Ledger Live combines advanced security with a simple, intuitive experience.


What Is Ledger Live Wallet?

Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets. It allows you to manage, track, and grow your crypto assets while ensuring every transaction is verified and approved directly on your Ledger device.

Unlike software-only wallets, Ledger Live never exposes your private keys to the internet. Your keys remain safely stored inside your Ledger hardware wallet, making Ledger Live one of the most secure ways to interact with blockchain networks.

Ledger Live is available on:

  • Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Mobile: iOS and Android

With cross-platform access, you can manage your crypto anytime, anywhere — without compromising security.


Why Choose Ledger Live Wallet?

🔐 Industry-Leading Security

Security is the foundation of Ledger Live. Every transaction must be physically approved on your Ledger device, protecting you from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.

Key security features include:

  • Offline storage of private keys
  • Secure Element chip protection
  • Transaction verification on device
  • Optional passphrase support

With Ledger Live, you stay in control — no third party can move your funds without your approval.


🌍 Support for Thousands of Crypto Assets

Ledger Live supports 5,500+ cryptocurrencies and tokens, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Polygon (MATIC)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • ERC-20, BEP-20, and many other tokens

You can manage multiple assets and accounts in one place, eliminating the need for multiple wallets or apps.


📊 Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

Ledger Live provides a clear overview of your crypto holdings with real-time price updates and portfolio insights.

With the dashboard, you can:

  • View total portfolio value

This makes Ledger Live ideal for both long-term holders and active crypto users who want clarity without complexity.


Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto Securely

Ledger Live integrates trusted third-party providers that allow you to buy, sell, and swap crypto directly within the app.

Buy Crypto

Purchase crypto using bank transfers, credit cards, or other local payment methods — depending on your region — and receive it directly into your Ledger-protected wallet.

Swap Assets

Exchange supported cryptocurrencies without leaving Ledger Live. Your funds remain under your control throughout the process, and every swap requires on-device confirmation.

Sell Crypto

Convert crypto back into fiat using integrated services, with transparent pricing and secure processing.

Supported staking assets include popular networks such as Ethereum and others (availability may vary).

Benefits of staking with Ledger Live:

  • Earn rewards directly to your wallet
  • Transparent reward tracking
  • No need to transfer funds to exchanges

Staking through Ledger Live combines passive earning with Ledger’s trusted security model.

Ledger Live goes beyond basic crypto storage. It also supports NFT management and Web3 connectivity, allowing you to explore the decentralized ecosystem securely.

With Ledger Live, you can:

  • View and manage NFTs
  • Connect to decentralized apps (dApps)
  • Sign Web3 transactions safely
  • Use Ledger with DeFi platforms

Every interaction is protected by hardware-level verification, reducing risks commonly associated with Web3 usage.
