Ledger Live | Ledger Live Crypto Wallet App

Securely buy, sell, stake, and manage 5,000+ cryptocurrencies with the official Ledger Live app — the companion software for your Ledger hardware wallet.

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official all-in-one crypto wallet application developed by Ledger®. It connects directly to your Ledger hardware wallet to help you buy, exchange, stake, and monitor your crypto assets in one secure interface.

Whether you use a Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, the Ledger Live app is your digital command center. It gives you full control over your coins while keeping your private keys safely stored offline on your device.

How Ledger Live Works

Ledger Live communicates securely with your hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X). Every action that requires signing — like sending crypto — must be verified directly on the physical Ledger device. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys remain safe.

Features of the Ledger Live App

Installing Ledger Live

1. Download from Official Source

Visit ledger.com/ledger-live and choose the correct version for your operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Avoid third-party websites — only download from Ledger’s official domain.

2. Connect Your Device

Plug in your Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Stax using the provided USB cable (or connect via Bluetooth for Nano X). Open Ledger Live and follow the setup wizard to initialize or restore your wallet.

3. Set Up Accounts

From the “Manager” tab, install specific apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) on your device. Add accounts in Ledger Live to display balances, recent transactions, and market charts.

Security & Privacy

Ledger Live is designed with the same security-first approach as the hardware wallets themselves:

Using Ledger Live for Staking

Through Ledger Live, users can delegate and stake tokens directly — earning rewards while keeping coins under self-custody. Ledger partners with trusted validators so users can stake without giving up control of their assets.

Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto Safely

Ledger Live integrates verified third-party providers that allow direct transactions in-app. Each purchase or swap is confirmed on your device screen, ensuring authenticity before funds move. The app supports credit cards, bank transfers, and stablecoins for global accessibility.

Ledger Live Mobile

The mobile version of Ledger Live brings the same secure experience to iOS and Android. Pair your Ledger Nano X over Bluetooth to manage crypto anytime, anywhere. Features include transaction verification, balance tracking, and price alerts.

Regular Updates

Ledger constantly improves Live with new coins, features, and security updates. The app automatically checks for updates at launch, or you can manually install from the “Settings” panel.

Troubleshooting & Support

Final Thoughts

Ledger Live transforms your hardware wallet into a complete crypto management platform. It bridges convenience with uncompromising security — giving users the power to manage digital assets, stake, and explore DeFi while remaining fully self-custodial.

Whether you’re a beginner buying your first Bitcoin or an experienced trader managing multiple coins, Ledger Live offers the ideal balance of safety, speed, and control.
