In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, security and simplicity are essential. Whether you're managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, or thousands of other digital assets, one thing remains constant: you need a secure, user-friendly platform to manage your crypto. That’s where Ledger Live comes in.
Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile app developed by Ledger, the global leader in hardware wallet technology. It allows users to buy, sell, exchange, stake, and track cryptocurrencies — all while keeping their private keys safe inside their Ledger hardware wallet.
Designed for both PC and Mac, Ledger Live combines robust security with an intuitive user interface to make crypto management seamless and safe for beginners and experts alike.
Ledger hardware wallets (such as the Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus) store your private keys offline, away from internet threats. But to interact with your wallet — send transactions, view balances, or stake tokens — you need a secure companion app.
That’s where Ledger Live becomes essential.

All actions are verified by you, on your device screen
