Ledger® Live — Getting Started | official Ledger Wallet App

As cryptocurrency continues to evolve, managing digital assets securely has become a top priority. Hardware wallets provide strong offline protection, but users still need reliable software to interact with the blockchain. The Ledger Live App is Ledger’s official solution, offering a secure and user-friendly platform to manage crypto assets while maintaining full control of private keys.

What Is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is an all-in-one application designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. Available on both desktop and mobile devices, the app allows users to send, receive, buy, sell, and stake cryptocurrencies safely.

Unlike exchange wallets, the Ledger Live App never stores your private keys. All cryptographic operations take place on the Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring maximum security.

Key Features of the Ledger Live App

The Ledger Live App offers a comprehensive set of tools for managing digital assets:

  • Multi-Currency Support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of supported tokens.
  • Portfolio Tracking: Monitor balances, market prices, and transaction history in real time.
  • Secure Transactions: Every transaction must be approved directly on the Ledger device.
  • App Management: Install and uninstall blockchain apps on your hardware wallet.
  • Staking and Rewards: Stake supported cryptocurrencies and earn passive income securely.

These features make the Ledger Live App suitable for both beginners and experienced investors.

Security at Its Core

Security is the foundation of the Ledger Live App. Private keys never leave the hardware wallet, even when interacting with the app. This protects users from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.

Ledger Live also performs device authenticity checks and provides firmware updates, ensuring users always have the latest security protections.

Mobile vs Desktop Experience

The Ledger Live App is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The desktop version is ideal for initial setup and advanced management, while the mobile app—especially when paired with the Ledger Nano X—offers secure on-the-go access.

Final Thoughts

The Ledger Live App is more than just a wallet interface—it’s a secure control center for managing cryptocurrency. By combining ease of use with industry-leading hardware security, it empowers users to take full ownership of their digital assets with confidence.
