Official Ledger™ Live is a powerful and secure desktop and web application designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets. It serves as the central hub for managing, securing, and growing your cryptocurrency portfolio while keeping your private keys protected offline. Whether you are a beginner entering the world of crypto or an experienced investor managing multiple assets, Ledger Live provides a simple, trusted, and feature-rich solution.
Ledger™ Live is the official companion application developed by Ledger to allow users to interact safely with their Ledger hardware wallets. The app connects your hardware device to your computer or web interface, enabling you to view balances, send and receive crypto, install apps, manage accounts, and access decentralized services — all without compromising security.
Unlike traditional software wallets, Ledger Live never exposes your private keys to the internet. Every transaction is verified and signed directly on your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring maximum protection against malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.
Ledger Live is available for desktop platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux, and also offers web-based accessibility for supported features. This cross-platform availability ensures users can securely manage their digital assets from virtually anywhere, while still maintaining the highest security standards.
Important: No matter which platform you use, your private keys always remain stored securely on your Ledger hardware wallet — never on your computer or browser.
Ledger Live allows you to manage thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens from a single interface. You can create multiple accounts, monitor balances in real time, and organize your portfolio with ease.
With integrated third-party services, Ledger Live enables you to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app. All transactions are confirmed on your hardware wallet, ensuring you stay in full control of your assets at all times.
Ledger Live supports staking for selected cryptocurrencies, allowing you to earn passive income while maintaining custody of your funds. Your assets remain protected by your Ledger device while you participate in network validation and earn rewards.
The app provides detailed portfolio analytics, including asset allocation, historical performance, and real-time price updates. This helps you make informed decisions without relying on third-party tracking tools.
Ledger Live stands out as one of the most trusted crypto management platforms due to its focus on security, transparency, and user experience. As the official application from Ledger, it undergoes continuous updates, security audits, and feature improvements.
Security is the foundation of Ledger™ Live. The app works hand-in-hand with Ledger hardware wallets, which use a certified Secure Element chip to protect sensitive data. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on the device, eliminating remote attack vectors.
Ledger Live itself does not store private keys, passwords, or recovery phrases. Even if your computer were compromised, attackers would not be able to access your funds without the physical Ledger device and user approval.
Getting started with Ledger Live is straightforward. After installing the application, users are guided through a step-by-step setup process, including device initialization, account creation, and asset installation. Clear instructions and an intuitive design make the onboarding process smooth, even for those new to cryptocurrency.
Ledger Live allows you to add and manage multiple accounts for the same cryptocurrency, making it ideal for organizing personal, business, or long-term investment holdings within one interface.
Ledger Live supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), and thousands of ERC-20 and other blockchain tokens. New assets are continuously added through app updates and integrations.
This extensive compatibility ensures that users can manage a diverse portfolio without needing multiple wallet applications.
The desktop version of Ledger Live offers the most complete feature set, including firmware updates and full device management. The web-enabled experience provides convenient access for supported services while maintaining Ledger’s strict security model.
Both options are designed to complement each other, giving users flexibility without sacrificing safety.
Official Ledger™ Live empowers you to securely manage, grow, and protect your digital assets using industry-leading hardware wallet technology. Experience peace of mind knowing your private keys stay offline while you enjoy a modern, feature-rich crypto management platform.
