Ledger Live — Official App for Managing Your Ledger Wallet
Ledger Live is the official application designed to securely manage cryptocurrencies using a Ledger hardware wallet. Available on desktop and mobile, Ledger Live allows users to buy, sell, send, receive, stake, and monitor digital assets—all while keeping private keys safely stored offline on the Ledger device. It is the central hub for secure self-custody and portfolio management.
What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is a companion app that connects directly to Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. The app provides a user-friendly interface to interact with blockchains without exposing sensitive information. Private keys never leave the hardware wallet, ensuring protection from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.
