As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow and diversify, the need for secure and user-friendly tools to manage digital assets becomes more critical. One of the leading solutions available today is Ledger Live, the official desktop and mobile application for managing Ledger hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. This software enables users to manage, buy, sell, stake, and swap crypto—all in one place—while ensuring maximum security through hardware-based authentication.
Ledger Live is a powerful companion application designed to work with Ledger’s hardware wallets. Unlike browser extensions or custodial apps that may store your private keys online, Ledger Live ensures that your private keys stay offline, protected by your physical Ledger device. The app functions as a secure bridge between your hardware wallet and the blockchain, giving you full control over your crypto without compromising on usability.
Ledger Live provides an intuitive and comprehensive view of your crypto holdings. Users can track the performance of each asset, monitor gains/losses, and view historical portfolio charts. This helps both novice and experienced investors make informed decisions.
Ledger Live supports more than 5,000 coins and tokens, including major cryptocurrencies like:
Whether you're holding popular coins or newer DeFi tokens, Ledger Live likely has support for them.
All transactions on Ledger Live must be manually confirmed on your physical Ledger device. This ensures that even if your computer or smartphone is compromised, no transaction can occur without your approval. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, significantly reducing the risk of theft.
Through integrations with trusted third-party providers like Coinify, MoonPay, and Changelly, Ledger Live allows users to buy, sell, and swap crypto directly within the app. The process is streamlined for convenience, with all transactions remaining non-custodial and secured by your Ledger device.
Ledger Live makes it easy to stake popular tokens like Ethereum (ETH), Tezos (XTZ), Cosmos (ATOM), Polkadot (DOT), and more. You can earn rewards on your holdings while retaining full ownership and control. Ledger Live displays staking opportunities and estimated yields directly in your portfolio.
Ledger Live now offers support for Ethereum-based NFTs (ERC-721 and ERC-1155). You can safely store, view, and send your NFTs from the same interface you use to manage crypto. More blockchain integrations are expected in the future, broadening NFT support beyond Ethereum.
Available for iOS and Android, the mobile version of Ledger Live mirrors the desktop experience. Combined with a Bluetooth-enabled Ledger Nano X, users can manage assets securely from anywhere. The app includes biometric login and encrypted data storage for added protection.
Ledger consistently updates the Live app to include new coins, performance improvements, and added features like DeFi app integrations. This commitment to development keeps Ledger Live at the forefront of secure crypto asset management.
Ledger Live is ideal for anyone serious about cryptocurrency security. Unlike hot wallets or browser-based solutions, Ledger Live works only in conjunction with your physical Ledger device, which must be present for any transaction to occur. Whether you're a long-term HODLer, NFT collector, or active DeFi user, Ledger Live offers a secure, all-in-one platform to manage your digital assets with confidence.
