Ledger Live – Total Crypto Control in One Powerful App

Cryptocurrency is about freedom—freedom to own, move, and manage your assets. But freedom without security is risk. That’s where Ledger Live changes everything. As the official companion app to Ledger hardware wallets, Ledger Live is built for anyone who wants full control of their crypto without giving up safety, speed, or simplicity.

Whether you're a first-time investor or a DeFi veteran, Ledger Live brings together everything you need in a single secure platform.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a secure, feature-rich software application that works with Ledger’s line of hardware wallets—like the Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, and Ledger Stax. It allows users to manage, track, and protect their cryptocurrency while keeping their private keys offline and out of reach of hackers.

Unlike online wallets or custodial platforms:

  • You own your keys
  • You approve every transaction physically
  • Your crypto remains secure, even on infected devices
  • You’re protected from phishing, malware, and fraud

Ledger Live is available for both desktop and mobile, offering the same full functionality no matter where you are.

Ledger Live Makes Crypto Simple

You don’t need to be a tech expert to manage your portfolio with Ledger Live. The app is designed for ease of use, offering a clean interface and step-by-step setup for beginners.

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • Android
  • iOS

The download is free, fast, and verified by Ledger to ensure authenticity.

Connect Your Device

Once installed, connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X only). The app will walk you through setting up your wallet, choosing a PIN, and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase.

Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

Ledger Live gives you an instant overview of your crypto holdings:

  • View balances across all assets
  • Track market prices in real time
  • Analyze performance with dynamic charts
  • Check historical data and portfolio value in fiat currency

You can even add multiple accounts under each asset, giving you full financial clarity.

Send and Receive Securely

Every transaction in Ledger Live is protected by your Ledger device. You’ll:

  • Enter recipient addresses in the app
  • Review the transaction details on your device
  • Physically confirm the transaction before it goes to the blockchain

This makes Ledger Live immune to malware, phishing, and remote attacks. If someone can’t access your device and your recovery phrase, they can’t touch your crypto.

Buy, Sell, and Swap Inside the App

Ledger Live lets you:

  • Buy crypto with bank transfer, credit card, or PayPal
  • Sell supported cryptocurrencies back to fiat
  • Swap tokens instantly between supported assets

All this happens through vetted Ledger partners, meaning your transactions remain secure and private.
