Features & benefits
Ledger Live is the secure gateway to your crypto — a unified desktop and mobile application designed to safely manage, buy, swap, and stake your digital assets while keeping private keys offline on a Ledger hardware wallet. Built from the ground up with layered security, Ledger Live pairs a user-friendly interface with enterprise-grade protection. It supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies and tokens, automatic portfolio tracking, real-time market data, and integrated dApp connections for DeFi and Web3 interactions.
Security-first: Ledger Live never exposes your seed phrase or private keys. Pairing with a Ledger device ensures transactions are validated on hardware, not in the browser. PIN protection, firmware verification, and a secure element chip architecture add robust defense-in-depth. Regular updates and transparent open-source components help maintain trust and resilience against evolving threats.
Productivity and convenience: The app centralizes your crypto operations — send and receive with clear controls, manage multiple accounts, and configure custom fees. Built-in exchange partners let you buy or swap assets without leaving the interface. Portfolio analytics and historical charts provide insights into performance and allocation, while notifications keep you informed about firmware updates and security advisories.
Onboarding is simple: guided setup walks new users through safe initialization, device recovery, and app installation. Advanced users benefit from passphrase configuration, multiple account management, and developer tools for dApp interactions. Ledger Live minimizes data collection and keeps telemetry optional, supporting privacy-focused workflows.
Ledger Live’s ecosystem is continually expanding with new coin support, partner integrations, and learning resources. Its design prioritizes clarity and control, giving users immediate insight into holdings and activity while preserving sovereignty. Start cautiously, follow best practices, and Ledger Live will scale with your crypto journey.
