Ledger Live Wallet: Securely Manage Your Crypto in One Place

Ledger Live Wallet is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to give you complete control over your digital assets while maintaining the highest level of security. Whether you’re buying your first cryptocurrency or managing a diverse portfolio across multiple blockchains, Ledger Live provides a powerful, user-friendly, and secure solution—all in one place.

With Ledger Live, your private keys stay offline and protected by your Ledger device, while the app acts as a secure interface for managing, growing, and using your crypto assets.


What Is Ledger Live Wallet?

Ledger Live Wallet is a desktop and mobile application that allows you to manage cryptocurrencies securely using your Ledger hardware wallet. Unlike software-only wallets, Ledger Live does not store your private keys on your computer or phone. Instead, all sensitive operations are validated directly on your Ledger device, ensuring your crypto remains safe from online threats.

Ledger Live combines security, usability, and functionality into a single platform, allowing you to interact with the crypto ecosystem without compromising control or ownership.


Why Choose Ledger Live Wallet?

Uncompromising Security

Security is at the core of Ledger Live Wallet. Your private keys are generated and stored inside your Ledger hardware wallet’s Secure Element chip, never leaving the device. Even when connected to the internet, your keys remain protected from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.

Every transaction must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, giving you full visibility and control.

True Ownership of Your Crypto

With Ledger Live, you are not relying on a third party to hold your assets. You maintain full ownership and custody of your funds at all times. No one can freeze, access, or move your crypto without your approval.
