Ledger Live App

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official application developed by Ledger to help users manage their digital assets with security and ease. Designed to work hand-in-hand with Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, and Nano X, Ledger Live acts as your secure gateway to the world of cryptocurrencies.

Whether you're a beginner buying your first Bitcoin or a seasoned trader managing a diverse portfolio, Ledger Live gives you complete control over your crypto assets in a single interface—accessible on both desktop and mobile devices.

Key Features

• Multi-Asset Support: Manage over 5,500 coins and tokens including BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, DOT, XRP, USDT, and more.
• Buy, Sell, and Swap: Purchase crypto with credit card or bank transfer, sell it, or swap one asset for another directly within the app.
• Portfolio Tracking: Monitor real-time prices, performance charts, and historical data across all your accounts.
• Staking: Earn passive income by staking coins like Ethereum, Tezos, Polkadot, and Cosmos.
• Secure App Manager: Install and manage blockchain apps directly on your Ledger device through Ledger Live.

The app doesn't store or share any of your personal data, and your private keys never leave your hardware wallet.

Security First

• PIN-protected access: Only you can unlock your device
• Recovery Phrase: Backup your wallet and restore access anytime
• Two-Factor Transactions: Every transaction must be confirmed on your physical device
