Ledger Live — Secure crypto management (app overview)

Manage, monitor, and interact with your cryptocurrencies from a single secure app — desktop and mobile.

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the companion software for Ledger hardware wallets that provides an all-in-one interface to view portfolio value, send and receive coins, and interact with DeFi and NFT services. The app integrates device management, account views, market data, and service integrations so you can keep private keys offline while using a polished software dashboard.

Powerful yet simple: Ledger Live focuses on keeping your private keys offline in a secure element while letting you use modern features like swapping, staking, and app management.

Core capabilities

Portfolio & tracking

Real-time portfolio overview and historical charts across all your accounts.

Who should use it?

Ledger Live is a great fit for self-custodial users who own a Ledger hardware device and want a single, secure place to manage multiple crypto assets. Whether you're an investor tracking a multi-asset portfolio or a Web3 user interacting with apps, Ledger Live bridges hardware security with software convenience.

Features in detail

Ledger Live offers an intuitive dashboard where each account is shown with current balance, underlying token breakdown, and recent activity. Account management is streamlined: install coin apps on your Ledger device, add the corresponding account in Ledger Live, and you're ready to transact.

Swaps, buys and staking

Through integrated partners, Ledger Live supports buying with fiat, swapping between assets for quick rebalancing, and staking on supported networks. This lets holders earn yield or participate in network consensus without exposing private keys to a web service.

Open ecosystem & supported assets

Ledger Live supports thousands of coins and tokens via native integrations and third-party connectors. If an asset isn't natively supported, Ledger devices can still sign transactions used by many external wallets and DApps.

User experience & sync

The app synchronizes account balances and provides a clean interface for transaction verification. Ledger offers a cross-device sync option so you can mirror accounts between desktop and mobile while your private keys remain offline on the hardware device.
