Ledger Live – The Secure Way to Manage Your Cryptocurrency

What Is Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion application for the Ledger hardware wallet, designed to help you safely manage your cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Compatible with both Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus, the Ledger Live app provides a secure, streamlined experience to send, receive, stake, buy, and track digital assets — while your private keys remain protected offline.

Whether you're a first-time user or a seasoned crypto investor, Ledger Live brings powerful features with top-tier security.

How Ledger Live Works

Ledger Live connects your device to the blockchain without ever exposing your private keys to the internet. You interact with your crypto portfolio through the app, but all critical actions (like sending coins or signing smart contracts) are confirmed only on your Ledger device.

This keeps your assets fully secure and makes Ledger Live one of the safest ways to use crypto.
