Ledger Live — The Secure Hub for Managing Your Crypto

Ledger Live is an all-in-one platform designed to help you securely manage, protect, and grow your cryptocurrency assets.

Unlike exchange-based wallets or software-only solutions, Ledger Live follows a self-custody model. This means you are always in control of your crypto — not a third party. Ledger Live acts as a secure interface, while your Ledger hardware wallet signs transactions and protects your keys.

Ledger Live is available across multiple platforms, including desktop and mobile, giving you flexible and secure access wherever you are.
