Control your assets. Protect your keys. Explore Web3 safely.
Ledger Live connects to Ledger hardware wallets (Nano X, Nano S Plus) to provide a secure interface for everyday crypto tasks. All sensitive cryptographic operations happen on-device; Ledger Live serves as a trusted control center for portfolio tracking, transactions, staking, swaps, and NFT management.
Hardware-backed security
Your private keys never leave the Ledger device. Each transaction must be physically approved on the hardware wallet, eliminating remote key-extraction risks.
All-in-one asset management
Manage thousands of coins and tokens, monitor portfolio performance, and keep clear account separation. Ledger Live supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more.
Buy, swap & sell
Integrated partners let you buy crypto, swap between assets, or sell to fiat without moving funds to untrusted exchanges—transactions are routed to your Ledger-secured accounts.
NFTs & Web3
View and manage NFTs (Ethereum, Polygon) and connect to decentralized applications with confidence—every signature is authorized on your Ledger device.
How to get started
- Download Ledger Live from the official store or Ledger.com and install it on your device.
- Connect your Ledger hardware wallet (USB or Bluetooth for Nano X) and unlock it with your PIN.
- In Ledger Live, add accounts for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage and install required blockchain apps on your device.
- Use Ledger Live to receive funds — always verify addresses on the hardware wallet screen before sharing.
- When sending, swapping, or staking, confirm transaction details in the app and approve the signature on-device to complete the action.
Why Ledger Live matters
Ledger Live puts security first without sacrificing convenience. Unlike software wallets that keep keys on your phone or computer, Ledger’s approach isolates private keys in secure hardware. This model enables access to advanced features—staking, swapping, NFT management—while maintaining enterprise-grade safety.
Security best practices
- Always download Ledger Live from official sources; avoid third‑party links and phishing pages.
- Never type or store your 24‑word recovery phrase digitally; write it down on the provided card or use a metal backup.
- Verify recipient addresses and amounts directly on your Ledger device before approving transactions.
- Keep Ledger Live app and device firmware updated to receive security patches and feature improvements.
- Consider enabling an optional passphrase for hidden wallets when managing high-value holdings.
