What is the Ledger® Live Crypto™ Wallet App?

The Ledger® Live Crypto™ Wallet App is the official desktop and mobile companion to Ledger hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. It enables users to manage their cryptocurrencies, stake tokens, track market performance, swap coins, interact with Web3 apps, and even manage NFTs—all in one secure application.

Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices (Android and iOS), allowing you to access your portfolio wherever you are.

Key Features of Ledger Live

1. Unmatched Security with Hardware Integration

At its core, Ledger Live is designed for maximum protection. By connecting to a Ledger hardware wallet, your private keys never leave the secure element of the device. Even when you're performing transactions or accessing DeFi applications, your keys remain offline and safe from hackers and malware.

Any operation that involves signing a transaction—such as sending crypto or approving a smart contract—must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device. This extra layer of security protects you from phishing, fraud, and online attacks.

2. Multi-Asset Support

Ledger Live supports more than 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Binance Coin (BNB)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Thousands of ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens

You can manage multiple assets and accounts in one app, without needing to jump between platforms.

3. Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

With Ledger Live, you get a complete overview of your portfolio at a glance. The dashboard displays:

  • Total balance in fiat value
  • Performance over time
  • Individual asset values
  • Recent transactions

This real-time tracking feature allows users to make informed decisions based on current market conditions.

4. Send and Receive Crypto Securely

Sending and receiving crypto is simple yet secure. When receiving funds, Ledger Live generates a unique wallet address for each asset. You can verify the address on your hardware wallet screen to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. When sending, all transaction details are confirmed physically on the Ledger device, ensuring full control and transparency.

5. Buy, Sell, and Swap

Through integrations with trusted third-party partners like MoonPay, Coinify, and Changelly, Ledger Live offers in-app services to:

  • Buy crypto with a credit card or bank transfer
  • Sell certain assets for fiat
  • Swap between supported coins directly in your wallet

All while maintaining full ownership and security of your assets.

6. Earn Rewards via Staking

Ledger Live makes it easy to earn passive income through staking. You can stake assets such as:

  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Tezos (XTZ)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Cosmos (ATOM)
  • Algorand (ALGO)

The staking process is straightforward, with no need to move your funds to another platform. Rewards accrue automatically, and you retain control at all times.

7. NFT Management

Ledger Live allows users to manage Ethereum and Polygon NFTs safely:

  • View NFT collections with image previews and metadata
  • Send and receive NFTs with transaction confirmation on your Ledger device
  • Protect NFT assets from hacks and scams using secure signing

Your NFTs are displayed in a dedicated section within the app for easy access and organization.

8. Web3 and DeFi Access

With support for WalletConnect and the Ledger Extension, Ledger Live opens the door to the world of decentralized finance and Web3. You can interact with:

  • Decentralized exchanges (DEXs)
  • Lending platforms
  • Play-to-earn games
  • DAOs and governance tools

And because you’re using your Ledger device for authentication, all interactions remain secure.
