Whether you are using Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X, Ledger™ Live empowers you to securely manage cryptocurrencies, monitor your portfolio, stake assets, and explore Web3 applications — all from one intuitive dashboard.

Why Choose Ledger™ Live?

Advanced Security Architecture

Ledger™ Live is built around a security-first model. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet. All transactions must be physically verified on your device, ensuring that malicious software or phishing attempts cannot compromise your assets.

All-in-One Crypto Management

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens in one place. Ledger™ Live simplifies digital asset management by allowing you to install apps, create accounts, and track performance from a single interface.

User-Friendly Interface

Designed for both beginners and experienced crypto investors, Ledger™ Live offers a clean dashboard, clear transaction history, and intuitive navigation that makes crypto management efficient and stress-free.

Key Features of Ledger™ Live

1. Portfolio Overview

Monitor your crypto portfolio in real time with detailed performance charts and analytics. Track gains, losses, and asset allocation across multiple accounts with accurate price feeds.

2. Buy, Sell & Swap Crypto

Ledger™ Live integrates trusted third-party providers that allow you to buy and sell crypto directly within the app. Swap assets instantly while maintaining full hardware-level security.

3. Secure Staking

Earn passive income by staking supported cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Tezos, and Polkadot. Your assets remain secured by your Ledger device while you participate in blockchain validation.

4. NFT Management

View, send, and receive NFTs securely. Ledger™ Live allows you to manage Ethereum-based NFTs while verifying transactions directly on your hardware wallet screen.

5. Web3 & dApp Access

Connect your Ledger wallet securely to decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 platforms. Approve transactions directly from your hardware device for maximum protection.

How Ledger™ Live Works

Ledger™ Live functions as a secure bridge between your hardware wallet and blockchain networks. When you initiate a transaction, the app prepares the request, but your private key signs the transaction within the secure chip of your Ledger device.

This architecture ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys remain protected. Each transaction must be physically confirmed on your device, preventing unauthorized transfers.

Desktop & Web Compatibility

Ledger™ Live is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. The desktop application offers enhanced performance, security features, and seamless device integration.

The web-enabled interface ensures that you can interact with Web3 services while maintaining the highest level of security through your Ledger hardware wallet connection.

Getting Started with Ledger™ Live

Step 1: Download the App

Visit the official Ledger website and download the Ledger™ Live desktop application for your operating system.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

Connect your Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X using a USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X only). Follow the setup instructions to initialize or restore your wallet.

Step 3: Install Crypto Apps

Use Ledger™ Live to install specific cryptocurrency apps onto your device. Each blockchain requires its own app for transaction signing.

Step 4: Add Accounts

Create accounts for supported cryptocurrencies and begin managing your assets securely.

Security Best Practices

Always verify transactions directly on your Ledger device screen. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone. Keep your recovery phrase stored offline in a secure location.

Only download Ledger™ Live from the official source to avoid phishing attempts or malicious software. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Continuous Updates & Innovation

Ledger continuously improves Ledger™ Live with regular firmware updates, security patches, and feature enhancements. These updates ensure compatibility with emerging blockchain technologies and evolving Web3 applications.

The development team actively collaborates with blockchain communities to expand support for new assets and services, making Ledger™ Live a future-ready solution for digital asset management.

Ledger™ Live for Institutions & Advanced Users

Beyond individual users, Ledger™ Live supports advanced portfolio management strategies for professionals and institutions. With multi-account support, detailed analytics, and integration capabilities, it offers enterprise-grade security combined with flexibility.

Developers and advanced users can integrate Ledger hardware wallets with additional applications while still using Ledger™ Live as the central management hub.

Benefits of Using a Hardware Wallet with Ledger™ Live

Unlike software wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices, Ledger hardware wallets store keys offline within a Secure Element chip. Ledger™ Live complements this by providing a secure interface without compromising private key protection.

This combination significantly reduces the risk of hacking, malware attacks, and unauthorized access.

The Official Ledger™ Live App delivers the perfect balance between security, functionality, and ease of use. By combining cutting-edge hardware wallet protection with a powerful desktop and web interface, Ledger™ Live empowers users to confidently manage their digital assets.

Whether you are buying your first cryptocurrency, actively trading, staking for rewards, or exploring Web3 innovations, Ledger™ Live provides a secure and reliable environment. Protect your investments and take full control of your crypto journey with Ledger™ hardware wallets and Ledger™ Live today.
