Ledger Live Wallet®

Secure Gateway for Your Wallet

Introduction

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, the need for secure and reliable digital asset management solutions is more crucial than ever. Ledger Live Wallet® stands out as a leading platform that offers users a secure and intuitive interface to manage their crypto holdings with confidence. Whether you're a seasoned trader or a crypto beginner, Ledger Live provides the infrastructure you need to explore Web3, DeFi, staking, and NFTs—all while keeping your private keys safe and offline.

What Is Ledger Live Wallet®?

Ledger Live Wallet® is the official software companion to the popular Ledger hardware wallets, including Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It acts as a bridge between your physical wallet and the digital ecosystem, providing a seamless experience for managing, sending, receiving, and staking cryptocurrencies. The wallet supports over 5,500 coins and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and many others.

Key Features of Ledger Live

1. All-in-One Dashboard

With Ledger Live, users can manage their entire crypto portfolio from a single, unified interface. The dashboard allows you to view balances, track asset performance, and monitor historical trends without needing to rely on third-party apps or exchanges.

2. Hardware Security Integration

Ledger Live’s greatest strength lies in its tight integration with Ledger hardware wallets. Your private keys never leave your Ledger device, ensuring maximum protection against hacks and malware attacks. Every transaction must be physically verified on the device.

3. Buy, Sell, and Swap

Through Ledger Live’s integrated services, users can buy cryptocurrencies with fiat, sell digital assets, or swap between tokens directly within the app using partners like MoonPay, Transak, and Changelly.

4. Staking & Earning Rewards

Ledger Live enables users to stake popular cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Polkadot, Tezos, and more. By staking, users can earn passive income while contributing to the blockchain’s security and decentralization.

5. Access DeFi and NFTs

Through the Discover tab, Ledger Live connects you with top DeFi apps like Lido, Compound, and Yearn, as well as NFT marketplaces including OpenSea. All DeFi actions are protected by your Ledger device.

Security Architecture

Ledger’s security model is built around the concept of “Don’t trust, verify.” Your Ledger hardware wallet acts as a secure enclave, physically isolated from the internet. All sensitive actions—signing transactions, setting up wallets, verifying addresses—happen inside the secure element chip (CC EAL5+ certified).

Unlike software wallets, which are vulnerable to phishing, malware, and remote hacks, Ledger Live combined with a Ledger device offers unparalleled protection. This makes it the preferred choice for long-term holders and serious investors.

User Experience and Interface

Ledger Live features a clean, modern UI with customizable themes, including dark mode by default. Navigation is intuitive, with easy access to portfolio tracking, asset management, staking opportunities, and news updates. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, the app ensures a consistent experience across platforms.

Installation is straightforward, and the onboarding process walks users through setting up their device, creating a recovery phrase, and securing their wallet.

Supported Assets

Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including:
