What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official software application developed by Ledger that allows you to manage your cryptocurrency assets in conjunction with your Ledger hardware wallet. It serves as a secure interface between your computer/mobile device and your hardware wallet.

Unlike web-based wallets, Ledger Live operates on a principle called "offline storage with online convenience." Your private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger device, while Ledger Live provides a user-friendly interface to view your portfolio, send and receive transactions, and manage your accounts.

The application supports over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, provides real-time portfolio tracking, and includes built-in features for buying, selling, and swapping crypto assets directly within the app.
