Enter the Ledger Live Crypto Wallet App — a trusted and secure platform built by Ledger®, the world leader in hardware wallet security.
Ledger Live is not just a companion to Ledger® devices — it's a comprehensive, feature-rich app that lets you manage your entire crypto portfolio in one place, all while keeping your private keys offline and safe.
What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the official crypto management application developed by Ledger®. It’s designed to work seamlessly with Ledger® hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano S Plus® and Ledger Nano X®, allowing users to interact with their crypto holdings securely from a desktop or mobile device.
Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, Ledger Live empowers users to buy, sell, send, receive, stake, and manage over 5,000 coins and tokens — all from one secure interface.
Key Features of Ledger Live
1. Secure Transactions
When you initiate a transaction in Ledger Live, it requires manual confirmation on your connected Ledger® hardware wallet. This means your private keys are never exposed online, making your funds immune to remote hacks or software malware. Whether sending Bitcoin, swapping tokens, or staking ETH, every action is verified physically on the device.
2. Multi-Asset Management
Ledger Live supports a vast range of cryptocurrencies, including:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Solana (SOL)
- Ripple (XRP)
- Cardano (ADA)
- Polkadot (DOT)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- Stablecoins (USDT, USDC)
- ERC-20 / BEP-20 Tokens
- And many others
You can install apps for each supported crypto and manage multiple accounts under each one — all within Ledger Live’s intuitive dashboard.
3. Real-Time Portfolio Tracker
Ledger Live includes a clean and powerful portfolio overview that lets you:
- View asset balances in real-time
- Track historical performance
- Monitor portfolio growth

- Polkadot (DOT)
- Tezos (XTZ)
- Cosmos (ATOM)

Your staked assets stay in your control, secured by your Ledger® device — unlike exchange staking where your funds are exposed to third-party risks.
