What is Ledger Live wallet®?

Ledger Live wallet® is the official app that gives you a single, secure dashboard to manage your crypto holdings while your private keys remain stored offline on a Ledger hardware device. The app supports portfolio tracking, transaction history, buy/sell on-ramps, swaps and staking — making it a complete tool for both new and experienced users.

Core features

  • Secure key custody: private keys never leave your Ledger device.
  • Portfolio tracking: realtime balances across multiple accounts and chains.
  • Buy, swap & sell: access regulated on-ramps and swap providers.
  • Stake & earn: stake supported assets directly within the app.
  • dApp access: connect to Web3 apps while keeping keys offline.

Supported assets

Ledger Live wallet® supports thousands of coins and tokens, with regularly updated network support via Ledger’s app manager and compatible third-party wallets for broader coverage.

Security & best practices

Security is the foundation of Ledger Live wallet®. Because private keys remain on the hardware device, attackers cannot steal keys by compromising the app alone. Important practices: always download the app from the official Ledger website, verify application signatures when available, never share your 24-word recovery phrase, and keep your device firmware up to date.

How to get started

  1. Download Ledger Live wallet® from the official Ledger website and install on desktop or mobile.
  2. Connect your Ledger hardware device and follow the in-app setup steps.
  3. Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage using the Manager in Ledger Live wallet®.
  4. Receive, send, swap and, if desired, stake tokens — all via the Ledger Live interface.
