Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, and Ledger Stax. It acts as the user interface that lets you securely manage, monitor, and interact with your cryptocurrency holdings, all while ensuring your private keys stay offline and protected.
Ledger Live brings everything together in one secure application — from sending and receiving crypto, to buying, staking, swapping, and accessing the world of DeFi and NFTs.
Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Polkadot, ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens, and many more. You can create accounts for each asset and manage them individually — all from the same dashboard.
The app offers a clear overview of your entire crypto portfolio, including real-time price updates, performance charts, and transaction history. It automatically syncs with the blockchain once your device is connected.
Every transaction must be confirmed physically on your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring that your assets can’t be moved without your direct authorization — even if your computer is compromised.
Ledger Live allows you to stake various coins such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ), Polkadot (DOT), and more. You can earn rewards securely while maintaining control over your private keys.
Thanks to built-in integrations with trusted third-party services, Ledger Live lets you buy crypto with a credit card, swap tokens across chains, and sell assets back into fiat — all while keeping your assets under your full control.
Ledger Live supports Ethereum and Polygon NFTs, allowing you to view, send, and receive NFTs directly through the app. NFT transactions are secured by your Ledger device.
Through WalletConnect or MetaMask integration, you can connect your Ledger wallet to DeFi platforms, dApps, and NFT marketplaces like Uniswap, Aave, OpenSea, and more — without compromising your private keys.
Download Ledger Live for Windows, macOS, Linux, or mobile (iOS, Android). Only download from official sources to ensure safety.
Plug in your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Ledger Stax and enter your PIN code. The app will detect your device and walk you through the setup process.
Install apps for specific cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin or Ethereum) via Ledger Live, then create accounts to begin managing your assets.
