Ledger Live: Your Secure Gateway to the Crypto World

Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application for managing your Ledger hardware wallet and cryptocurrency assets. Built by Ledger SAS, it provides a secure, intuitive interface for storing, sending, receiving, buying, and staking digital assets—while ensuring your private keys remain offline and safe on your Ledger device.

Whether you’re using the Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or older models, Ledger Live is your central hub for all crypto management.

🧩 What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a crypto management app that connects to your Ledger hardware wallet. It’s available on:

•  Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux
•  Mobile: iOS and Android

The app allows you to perform most crypto-related tasks while your private keys remain isolated inside your Ledger device, safe from online threats.

🔒 Key Features of Ledger Live

1. Secure Asset Management

You can send, receive, and store over 5,000 coins and tokens, including:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Solana (SOL)
• XRP
• Cardano (ADA)
• Polygon (MATIC)
• Stablecoins like USDT and USDC

Every transaction must be manually verified and approved on your hardware wallet—adding an extra layer of protection.

2. Real-Time Portfolio Tracking

Ledger Live displays a real-time overview of your portfolio, including:

• Total balance in your local currency
• Asset allocation charts
• Price history and performance

This makes it easy to monitor your investments without logging into third-party platforms.

3. Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto

Ledger Live integrates with trusted partners (e.g., MoonPay, Banxa, Changelly) to let you:

•  Buy crypto directly with a bank card or wire transfer
•  Sell crypto into fiat
•  Swap tokens (e.g., BTC to ETH) without leaving the app

All actions are done while your private keys remain offline.

4. Staking and Rewards

You can stake supported assets (like ETH, DOT, ATOM, XTZ) to earn passive income, all managed within Ledger Live. You’ll be able to:

• Choose staking providers
• Track staking rewards
• Unstake whenever needed

5. NFT Support

Ledger Live now includes support for Ethereum and Polygon-based NFTs. Users can:

• View NFTs in their collection
• Securely store them offline
• Connect to NFT marketplaces using Ledger’s browser extension

6. DeFi and dApp Integration

Using Ledger Extension or WalletConnect, you can access DeFi platforms (like Uniswap, Aave, or Compound) directly through Ledger Live with hardware wallet security.

📱 Desktop vs. Mobile

•  Desktop is ideal for full portfolio management, firmware updates, and dApp interaction.
•  Mobile offers convenience for checking balances, managing assets on the go, and using the Nano X via Bluetooth.

Both sync seamlessly and offer consistent features, though advanced settings are best managed on desktop.

🛡️ Security Highlights

• Ledger Live is non-custodial: You own your private keys.
• All transactions require confirmation on the physical device.
• The app runs locally on your device; it does not expose your seed phrase or private key to the internet.
• No one—including Ledger—can access your wallet without your 24-word recovery phrase (which should always remain offline and private).
