In today’s digital age, managing cryptocurrency assets securely is more important than ever. Ledger Live® is a powerful desktop and mobile application designed to help you manage your crypto portfolio with ease, transparency, and top-notch security. With the ever-growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, users need tools that not only simplify asset management but also protect their holdings from hackers and online threats.
Ledger Live is the official companion app for the Ledger hardware wallets (Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax). It enables users to manage, send, receive, stake, and monitor their crypto assets in one secure platform. It supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and offers real-time price tracking, portfolio management, and secure transaction signing.
There are many crypto management tools available, but Ledger Live stands out due to its seamless integration with Ledger hardware wallets, unmatched security, and user-friendly interface. Here are a few reasons why millions of users choose Ledger Live:
Ledger Live gives you an overview of your crypto holdings, including real-time value changes, gains/losses, and historical performance. It supports multiple accounts and even lets you add watch-only addresses.
Every transaction must be confirmed on your physical Ledger device, ensuring no unauthorized transfers can occur. Ledger Live only acts as an interface; the private keys remain offline and secure on your hardware wallet.
Through partnerships with services like MoonPay, Wyre, and Changelly, users can purchase crypto using fiat, sell their coins, or swap them directly in the app without leaving the Ledger ecosystem.
Want to earn passive income with your crypto? Ledger Live supports staking for several coins including Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), Tezos (XTZ), Cosmos (ATOM), and more. You can stake directly from your Ledger device and earn rewards securely.
Ledger Live allows users to view, manage, and securely store their NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on supported blockchains like Ethereum and Polygon. This ensures your digital collectibles are kept safe with the same high-level security as your coins.
Ledger Live comes with an integrated App Catalog, allowing you to install apps for specific blockchains on your Ledger device. This modular approach keeps the device efficient and secure.
Ledger Live supports over 5,500 coins and tokens across more than 30 blockchains. Major supported assets include:
Ledger Live is developed by Ledger, a company with a proven track record in crypto security. The application itself is open-source, and Ledger devices use a certified secure element (CC EAL5+) to store private keys.
Additionally, Ledger Live does not collect personal information or tracking data. All data is stored locally on your device. You are always in full control of your keys and your funds.
