Ledger Live — Master Your Crypto World with Security and Ease

Ledger Live is your one-stop app for buying, selling, staking, and tracking crypto — all while keeping your private keys offline and safe. Learn how to use it like a pro.

What Makes Ledger Live Unique?

Ledger Live is more than just a crypto wallet — it’s a full-fledged ecosystem that connects your hardware wallet to over 5,500 digital assets, NFTs, and DeFi protocols. Unlike browser wallets that rely on internet storage, Ledger Live connects directly to your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, ensuring your private keys never leave your device.

It bridges security with simplicity, enabling both beginners and experts to confidently manage their digital assets with a clean, intuitive interface.
