Ledger Live Wallet – Secure, Simple & Smart Crypto Control
Crypto is growing fast, and managing your digital assets safely is more important than ever. That’s where the Ledger Live Wallet comes in — a powerful app that works with Ledger hardware wallets to give you full control, without the stress.
Whether you're buying your first coin or managing a multi-asset portfolio, Ledger Live is your safe, all-in-one solution.
What Is Ledger Live Wallet?
Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X hardware wallets. It gives you a single dashboard to:
- View your portfolio
- Send and receive crypto
- Buy, sell, and stake tokens
- Manage NFTs and connect to Web3 apps
Unlike hot wallets, Ledger Live works with a hardware wallet. That means every action you take must be approved physically on your Ledger device. This keeps hackers and malware out — even if your computer is infected.
