Official Wallet App for Ledger® Users
Your gateway to secure cryptocurrency management, combining hardware security with intuitive software design.
Everything you need to manage your digital assets securely
Ledger Live Wallet integrates seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, ensuring your private keys never leave the secure element of your device. This offline storage method, known as cold storage, protects your assets from online threats and unauthorized access.
Available on desktop, mobile, and web platforms, Ledger Live provides a consistent experience across all your devices. Whether you're on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, you can manage your portfolio with the same intuitive interface.
With Ledger Live, you maintain full ownership of your private keys and recovery phrase. No third party has access to your funds, giving you true financial sovereignty in the decentralized economy.
Ledger Live Wallet is the official companion application designed exclusively for Ledger hardware wallet users. It serves as a comprehensive cryptocurrency management platform that combines the security of hardware wallets with the convenience of modern software interfaces. The application acts as a bridge between your Ledger device and the blockchain, allowing you to send, receive, and manage over 5,500 digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and countless ERC-20 tokens.
Unlike traditional software wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices, Ledger Live works in tandem with your Ledger hardware wallet to keep your keys completely offline. This architecture ensures that even if your computer or smartphone is compromised, your cryptocurrency remains secure. The application provides real-time portfolio tracking, historical transaction records, and market data to help you make informed decisions about your digital assets.
Beyond basic wallet functionality, Ledger Live has evolved into a complete ecosystem for cryptocurrency interaction. Users can stake their assets to earn rewards, swap between different cryptocurrencies without leaving the application, and even purchase crypto directly through integrated third-party services. The platform supports both simple and advanced features, making it suitable for beginners taking their first steps in cryptocurrency as well as experienced users managing complex portfolios.
The application's user interface prioritizes clarity and accessibility, presenting complex blockchain data in an understandable format. Account balances are displayed prominently, transaction histories are easily searchable, and portfolio performance is visualized through intuitive charts and graphs. Customizable settings allow users to adjust security parameters, manage multiple accounts for different cryptocurrencies, and organize their holdings according to personal preferences.
Security remains the cornerstone of Ledger Live's design philosophy. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger hardware device, creating an additional layer of protection against unauthorized transfers. The application also includes features like address verification, ensuring that the receiving address displayed on your computer screen matches the one shown on your hardware wallet's secure screen, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks.
