Ledger Live is Ledger's desktop and mobile application that lets users manage crypto holdings securely, interact with dapps, and monitor a unified portfolio. It connects to Ledger hardware devices (like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Nano X) so private keys never leave the device — combining strong offline security with an easy-to-use software interface.
Ledger Live is designed to work with Ledger hardware devices. Critical signing operations happen on the device's secure element; Ledger Live acts as a companion app that displays transaction details and requests user confirmation on-device. Users retain sole custody of their seed phrase; Ledger never has access to it.
Ledger Live aggregates all accounts and tokens, showing clear charts and historical balances. It supports thousands of coins and tokens and provides reconciled balances tied to your hardware wallet.
Perform standard send/receive flows with on-device confirmation. Use Ledger Live's integrated swap partners for token exchanges without exposing keys to third parties.
Stake supported assets directly from Ledger Live to earn yields while your funds remain secured by your hardware wallet. The app surfaces estimated rewards, lock-up periods, and validator details.
Download Ledger Live, initialize your Ledger device, and create or restore an account. Ledger Live walks you through firmware updates and app installations required for specific blockchains.
Open Ledger Live to view portfolio performance, check notifications, receive funds (by sharing your public address), and approve transactions using your Ledger device.
Ledger Live supports installing blockchain-specific apps onto your device and pairs with many web dApps via WalletConnect and other secure bridges.
Ledger provides developer documentation and a learning Academy for users wanting deeper technical understanding or to build integrations.
