Ledger Live App: Your Secure Gateway to Managing Crypto

The Ledger Live App is the official application designed to help you securely manage, grow, and use your cryptocurrency with a Ledger hardware wallet. Built for both beginners and experienced crypto users, Ledger Live combines industry-leading security with a simple, intuitive interface—giving you complete control over your digital assets at all times.

With Ledger Live, your private keys remain safely offline on your Ledger device, while the app acts as a powerful control center for your crypto portfolio.

What Is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is a secure crypto management application available on desktop and mobile. It works exclusively with Ledger hardware wallets to ensure your private keys are never exposed to the internet.

Unlike online wallets or exchange apps, Ledger Live does not hold your funds or keys. Instead, it allows you to interact with blockchain networks while every sensitive action—such as sending crypto or approving smart contracts—must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device.

Why Choose the Ledger Live App?

Industry-Leading Security

Security is the foundation of the Ledger Live App. Your private keys are generated and stored inside your Ledger hardware wallet’s Secure Element chip, a tamper-resistant technology used in banking and government systems.

This means:

  • Your keys never leave your device
  • Malware on your phone or computer cannot access your crypto
  • Every transaction requires your physical approval

True Ownership and Self-Custody

With Ledger Live, you remain in full control of your assets. There are no centralized accounts, no password-based logins, and no third parties holding your crypto on your behalf. You own your keys—and therefore, your crypto.

One App for All Your Crypto

The Ledger Live App supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies and thousands of tokens, making it easy to manage a diverse portfolio from one dashboard.

Supported assets include:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Polygon (MATIC)
  • XRP
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • ERC-20 tokens and more

You can view balances, transaction history, and real-time portfolio performance all in one place.

Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto Securely

Ledger Live integrates trusted third-party services, allowing you to access crypto markets without compromising security.

Buy Crypto

Purchase crypto directly in the Ledger Live App using fiat currency. Your assets are sent straight to your Ledger-protected wallet, not stored on an exchange.

Sell Crypto

Convert crypto into fiat while maintaining custody of your assets until the transaction is completed.

Swap Crypto

Swap one cryptocurrency for another directly within the app, with your private keys staying safely offline throughout the process.

Earn Rewards with Staking

The Ledger Live App allows you to stake supported cryptocurrencies and earn rewards while retaining full control of your funds.

Staking features include:

  • Non-custodial staking
  • Transparent reward tracking
  • Support for popular proof-of-stake assets

You earn rewards while your crypto remains protected by your Ledger device.

Explore Web3, DeFi, and NFTs

Ledger Live is more than a wallet—it’s your secure gateway to Web3.

With the Ledger Live App, you can:

  • Connect to decentralized applications (DApps)
  • Interact with DeFi protocols
  • Manage and view NFTs
  • Sign smart-contract transactions securely

All Web3 interactions require on-device confirmation, helping protect you from malicious contracts and unauthorized activity.

Easy Setup for Beginners

Getting started with the Ledger Live App is simple:

  1. Download the Ledger Live App on desktop or mobile
  2. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet
  3. Create a PIN and back up your 24-word recovery phrase
  4. Add crypto accounts and start managing your assets

The app provides guided instructions at every step, making it accessible even if you’re new to crypto.

Available on Desktop and Mobile

The Ledger Live App is available across multiple platforms:

Desktop

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

Mobile

  • iOS
  • Android

Whether you prefer managing crypto on your computer or on the go, Ledger Live delivers the same high level of security and functionality.

Privacy by Design

Ledger Live respects your privacy. You don’t need to create an account or provide personal information to use the app.

Ledger does not collect:

  • Your private keys
  • Your recovery phrase
  • Your balances or transaction details

Your financial data stays under your control.

Built-In Protection Against Scams

Ledger Live is designed to help protect users from common crypto threats.

Important Safety Principles

  • Ledger Live will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase
  • There is no browser-based Ledger Live login
  • All transactions must be verified on your device screen

If anyone asks for your recovery phrase, it is a scam.

Regular Updates and Continuous Improvement

The Ledger Live App is actively developed and regularly updated to:

  • Improve security
  • Add new features
  • Support additional cryptocurrencies
  • Enhance performance and user experience

Keeping the app and your device firmware up to date ensures optimal protection.

Who Is the Ledger Live App For?

The Ledger Live App is ideal for:

  • Long-term crypto holders
  • Active traders seeking secure swaps
  • NFT collectors
  • DeFi and Web3 users
  • Anyone who values privacy and self-custody

Whether you manage a single asset or a complex portfolio, Ledger Live adapts to your needs.

Why Ledger Live App Over Online Wallets?

Online wallets and exchanges store private keys on internet-connected systems, making them vulnerable to hacks. The Ledger Live App, combined with a Ledger hardware wallet, keeps your keys offline and protected—dramatically reducing risk.

You don’t rely on third parties. You don’t trust passwords. You rely on cryptographic security and physical verification.

Take Control with the Ledger Live App

The Ledger Live App empowers you to manage, grow, and use your crypto with confidence. By combining advanced hardware security with a powerful and intuitive app, Ledger Live gives you full ownership of your digital assets.

Your crypto deserves more than convenience—it deserves security, transparency, and control.
