The Ledger Live Wallet is a secure, all-in-one application designed to help you manage your cryptocurrency safely and efficiently. Built by Ledger, a global leader in hardware wallet security, Ledger Live acts as the trusted companion to Ledger hardware wallets, giving users a simple yet powerful interface to buy, sell, store, swap, stake, and monitor crypto assets — all while keeping private keys offline and under the user’s control.
Whether you’re a beginner entering the world of crypto or an experienced investor managing a diverse portfolio, Ledger Live Wallet provides the tools you need to interact with blockchain networks securely and confidently.
Ledger Live Wallet is a desktop and mobile application that connects directly to Ledger hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. Unlike software-only wallets, Ledger Live does not store your private keys online. Instead, your private keys remain securely stored within your Ledger hardware device, protected by a certified Secure Element chip.
Ledger Live acts as a visual dashboard and transaction manager, allowing you to interact with your crypto assets while ensuring that every sensitive action — such as sending funds — must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device.
This design ensures maximum security without sacrificing usability.
With Ledger Live Wallet, you own your private keys. This means:
Your assets are protected by your Ledger device and your recovery phrase, not by an online account.
Ledger Live works hand-in-hand with Ledger hardware wallets, which use:
Even if your computer or smartphone is compromised, your crypto remains safe because private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
