Secure, manage, and grow your crypto—all from one powerful interface.
Ledger Live is the official crypto management platform created by Ledger to give users complete control over their digital assets with top-tier hardware security. Instead of trusting online wallets or exchanges, Ledger Live interacts directly with your Ledger hardware wallet (such as Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus) to ensure that private keys never leave your device.
Think of it like a secure command center for everything crypto — buying, selling, swapping, staking, tracking, and managing thousands of digital currencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, BNB, Polygon, XRP and more.
It combines DeFi, Web3 interactions, NFT management, and portfolio tracking all in one application.
Works only with Ledger hardware wallets to protect private keys.
Buy, swap, and stake crypto without leaving the app.
Huge coin compatibility with continuous expansion.
Manage NFT collections and connect to decentralized apps.
Real-time market data and performance analytics.
Clean UI for new users, advanced features for pros.
Ledger Live acts as the bridge between your crypto holdings and the blockchain. But instead of giving control to an exchange, only you approve every transaction on your Ledger hardware wallet.
The private key never touches your computer or phone — meaning even if your device is hacked, attackers cannot access your funds.
