Secure Element Technology • Cold Storage • Multi-Currency Support

What is Ledger Live Wallet?

Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, providing a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets, Ledger Live works with your Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X hardware device to ensure your private keys never leave the secure element of your hardware wallet.

The application offers a comprehensive suite of features including real-time portfolio tracking, transaction management, cryptocurrency buying and selling, staking services, and secure integration with decentralized applications through Ledger's protected ecosystem.

Military-Grade Security

Your private keys remain secure in the hardware wallet, never exposed to your computer or the internet.

Portfolio Management

Track all your cryptocurrency assets in one dashboard with real-time balance and price information.

Built-in Exchange

Swap between 100+ cryptocurrencies directly within the application using integrated exchange partners.

Staking Services

Earn rewards by participating in proof-of-stake networks directly through Ledger Live.

dApp Connectivity

Connect to decentralized applications securely using Ledger Live as a bridge to Web3 services.

Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Write your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided card and store it in multiple secure locations. Never digitize it or store it online.

Verify Addresses on Device

Always verify receiving addresses on your Ledger device screen before sending transactions to prevent address manipulation attacks.

Use a Strong PIN

Avoid Phishing Attempts
