Ledger Live Wallet: Your All-in-One Hub for Secure Crypto Management

As digital assets evolve rapidly, crypto users need a robust and secure tool to manage their portfolios. Ledger Live Wallet stands at the heart of this ecosystem — merging Ledger’s industry-leading hardware security with an intuitive, modern application that enables you to buy, sell, swap, stake, and track your crypto in one easy place.

With millions of users globally, Ledger Live has become one of the most trusted platforms for secure crypto management. Whether you’re a first-time crypto holder, a seasoned trader, or a Web3 enthusiast, Ledger Live empowers you to control your crypto with unmatched security and convenience.


What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application that pairs with Ledger hardware wallets. It acts as your central hub for managing crypto assets, ensuring you stay in full control of your private keys while enjoying a seamless user experience similar to traditional digital-finance apps.

Rather than juggling multiple exchanges, wallets, and interfaces, Ledger Live consolidates everything into one unified dashboard. It connects your offline hardware wallet to the online crypto world, keeping your private keys secure and offline while interacting with blockchain networks.


A Unified Crypto Experience — Built to Be Simple

Ledger Live simplifies complex crypto operations with a clean interface and intuitive workflows. Whether you're managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, tokens, NFTs, or staking positions, the app is designed to make navigation easy for users of all experience levels.


A Fully Integrated Dashboard

From the moment you open Ledger Live, you’ll be presented with a comprehensive view of your portfolio:

  • Real-time balance updates
  • Performance charts and analytics
  • Breakdowns by asset, chain, and account
  • Recent activity and alerts

This clear and concise layout allows you to monitor your investments and understand how your holdings evolve over time.


Security Above Everything

Ledger Live operates under one fundamental rule: you should always stay in control of your crypto.

Unlike exchange wallets or purely online wallets, Ledger Live works in tandem with hardware wallets. This means your private keys never leave the secure chip inside your device. Whether you’re sending a transaction, signing a message, or connecting to a decentralized app (dApp), all signatures happen on the hardware wallet, not the app.

Why This Matters:

  • Eliminates risks from phishing and malware
  • Prevents remote hacks targeting online hot wallets
  • Offers institutional-grade self-custody security
  • Enables safe DeFi and NFT interactions

Ledger Live ensures that convenience never compromises security, a balance that many wallets struggle to achieve.


Buy, Sell, Swap & Stake — Directly in the App

Ledger Live is much more than a portfolio tracker. It integrates with trusted third-party providers, enabling you to perform essential crypto actions without leaving the app.

Buy Crypto

Purchase dozens of coins and tokens directly within Ledger Live using:

  • Credit/debit card
  • Bank transfer
  • Global payment partners

Your assets are sent directly to your hardware-secured wallet, not held on an exchange.

Sell Crypto

Sell select crypto assets and withdraw fiat currency through supported providers. The entire process is simple, transparent, and stays entirely within the Ledger Live environment.

Swap Assets

Easily exchange one crypto for another using integrated swap services. This method eliminates the need to transfer funds to centralized exchanges, ensuring safe, fast transactions secured by your hardware wallet. A broad selection of tokens can be swapped, depending on the network.

Stake & Earn Rewards

Stake coins like Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Tezos, and more directly within Ledger Live to earn passive income. You can view rewards, claim them, and restake with ease, all while maintaining full custody of your assets.


Full NFT Management

For NFT collectors and Web3 explorers, Ledger Live enables seamless management of digital collectibles.

Key NFT Features:

  • Display, send, and receive NFTs
  • Support for Ethereum, Polygon, and other chains
  • Metadata visuals and asset previews
  • Secure signing for marketplace transactions

NFTs are always managed with hardware-level security, ensuring protection during every transaction or smart contract interaction.


Connect to Web3 Safely

Ledger Live offers secure access to Web3 applications, helping you connect safely to DeFi platforms, DEXs, lending protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming dApps.

Secure Access Features:

  • Ledger Live’s Discover section
  • Ledger Extension browser add-on
  • Direct hardware-secured signing

This layered approach significantly reduces risks associated with malicious contracts or phishing attacks. When interacting with Web3, all actions are verified on your hardware device, minimizing the chance for unauthorized operations.


Supported Assets and Networks

Ledger Live supports an expanding list of cryptocurrencies — from well-established blue-chip assets to emerging Web3 tokens.

Major Supported Categories:

  • Top layer-1 blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polkadot, and more

Whether at home or on the go, you can manage your portfolio seamlessly across devices. With QR pairing, Bluetooth connectivity (for Ledger Nano X), and secure mobile interfaces, you’ll have smooth multi-device usage.


Privacy & Transparency Built-In

Ledger Live is designed with strict privacy principles:

  • You own your data
  • No hidden tracking
  • No custodial control over assets

The app does not access your private keys or seed phrases and integrates only with vetted service providers for financial operations.
