Ledger Live Wallet: Securely Manage Your Crypto in One Powerful App

Ledger Live Wallet is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to give you full control over your digital assets while keeping your private keys safe and offline. Whether you’re a beginner entering the crypto space or an experienced investor managing a diverse portfolio, Ledger Live Wallet provides a seamless, secure, and intuitive platform to store, manage, grow, and monitor your crypto assets from one place.

Built with security at its core, Ledger Live Wallet connects directly to your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring that sensitive actions such as transaction approvals and private key management never leave your device. With Ledger Live, you don’t just use crypto — you truly own it.

What Is Ledger Live Wallet?

Ledger Live Wallet is a desktop and mobile application that allows users to interact with blockchain networks through their Ledger hardware wallets. It acts as your crypto control center, enabling you to:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely
  • Track your portfolio performance in real time
  • Buy, sell, and swap supported digital assets
  • Stake crypto and earn rewards
  • Manage NFTs and access Web3 applications

Unlike software-only wallets, Ledger Live does not store your private keys. Instead, your keys remain protected inside your Ledger device, isolated from internet threats such as malware, phishing attacks, and hacks.

Security You Can Trust

Offline Private Key Protection

Ledger Live Wallet works in tandem with Ledger’s industry-leading hardware wallets, which store private keys in a Secure Element chip. This means your keys never touch the internet, even when making transactions.

Every transaction must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Verified Transactions

When sending crypto, Ledger Live displays transaction details on both the app and your hardware wallet screen. You verify and approve the transaction directly on the device, ensuring accuracy and preventing address-swapping attacks.

Regular Updates & Audits

Ledger Live Wallet is continuously updated to support new assets, features, and security improvements. Ledger’s software and hardware are subject to rigorous testing and independent security audits, giving users peace of mind.

All Your Crypto in One Place

Manage Multiple Cryptocurrencies

Ledger Live Wallet supports thousands of coins and tokens, including popular assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), and many more. You can install blockchain apps on your Ledger device and manage multiple accounts from a single interface.

Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

Monitor your portfolio value at a glance with real-time balance updates, performance charts, and historical data. Ledger Live Wallet helps you understand how your assets are performing over time, making it easier to manage your investment strategy.

Clear Transaction History

Every transaction is recorded and displayed in an easy-to-read format, allowing you to track incoming and outgoing funds, fees, and confirmations across different networks.

Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto Securely

Ledger Live Wallet integrates with trusted third-party service providers, allowing you to buy, sell, and swap crypto directly within the app — all while keeping your private keys offline.

  • Buy crypto using fiat currencies
  • Sell crypto directly to supported payment methods
  • Swap tokens without transferring funds to an exchange

Because transactions are secured by your Ledger hardware wallet, you maintain full custody of your assets throughout the process.

Earn Rewards with Crypto Staking

Ledger Live Wallet makes staking simple and secure. Supported assets allow you to stake directly from the app and earn rewards while maintaining control of your funds.

Benefits of staking with Ledger Live include:

  • Full transparency over rewards
  • No need to transfer assets to an exchange
  • Keys remain protected in your hardware wallet

Staking is ideal for users who want to grow their holdings while maintaining strong security and long-term ownership.

NFT & Web3 Management

Ledger Live Wallet supports NFT management and secure Web3 interactions. You can view, send, and receive NFTs while protecting your private keys from online risks.

Through secure wallet connections, Ledger Live allows you to:

  • Interact with decentralized applications (dApps)
  • Access DeFi platforms safely
  • Approve smart contract transactions on your device

This approach ensures that even when exploring Web3, your keys remain under your control.
