The complete guide to managing crypto assets securely, efficiently, and confidently
The Ledger Live App® is the official companion application developed by Ledger to help users securely manage, store, buy, sell, and grow their cryptocurrency assets. Designed for both beginners and advanced users, the app seamlessly integrates with Ledger hardware wallets to provide unmatched security without sacrificing usability. Available on both mobile and desktop platforms, Ledger Live has become a trusted hub for millions of crypto holders worldwide.
As the cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to expand, managing digital assets across multiple blockchains and services can become overwhelming. Ledger Live App® simplifies this process by offering a single, unified interface where users can oversee their entire portfolio, track real-time balances, install apps, and interact with decentralized services—all while keeping private keys safely offline.
Ledger Live App® is developed and maintained by Ledger, a global leader in hardware wallet security. Unlike third-party wallet applications, Ledger Live is designed specifically to work with Ledger devices, ensuring end-to-end security and consistent updates aligned with the latest industry standards.
One of the defining characteristics of Ledger products is the Secure Element chip. Ledger Live App® communicates directly with this chip, ensuring that private keys never leave the hardware wallet. Even when interacting with complex transactions or decentralized applications, users maintain full control of their assets.
The official Ledger Live App® receives frequent updates that introduce new features, support for additional cryptocurrencies, and critical security enhancements. Each update is verified and tested, helping users avoid risks commonly associated with unofficial or malicious wallet software.
The desktop version of Ledger Live App® is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, offering a powerful and comprehensive environment for managing crypto portfolios. Desktop users benefit from larger screen real estate, advanced portfolio analytics, and seamless firmware management for Ledger devices.
With Ledger Live App® on desktop, users can monitor asset allocation, historical performance, and real-time market prices. Interactive charts and detailed transaction histories make it easy to analyze trends and make informed decisions.
Ledger Live allows users to install, uninstall, and update apps directly on their Ledger hardware wallets. Firmware updates are handled through a secure process, ensuring device integrity and continued compatibility with supported cryptocurrencies.
For users who prefer managing assets on the go, the Ledger Live App® mobile version provides a streamlined yet powerful experience. Available for both iOS and Android, the mobile app supports Bluetooth connectivity with compatible Ledger devices, enabling secure transactions anywhere.
Despite its mobility, the Ledger Live App® does not compromise on security. Transactions must still be physically verified on the Ledger device, ensuring that even a compromised smartphone cannot access private keys or approve unauthorized transfers.
The mobile interface is optimized for touch navigation, making it easy to check balances, send or receive crypto, and review transaction details. This balance of simplicity and functionality makes Ledger Live App® ideal for everyday use.
Ledger Live App® supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens across multiple blockchains. From major assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin to ERC-20, BEP-20, and other token standards, users can manage a diverse portfolio from a single application.
Ledger actively works with blockchain communities to expand asset support. Through regular updates, Ledger Live App® continues to add new coins and features, keeping pace with the evolving crypto ecosystem.
Ledger Live App® acts as a bridge between secure cold storage and the dynamic world of blockchain innovation, allowing users to explore new assets with confidence.
Beyond storage, Ledger Live App® enables users to buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the application. Integrated service providers allow for seamless transactions without transferring assets to external wallets.
Ledger collaborates with reputable third-party partners to offer competitive rates and reliable services. Users can compare options and complete transactions while maintaining full custody of their assets.
The app provides clear information about fees, exchange rates, and transaction details before confirmation, helping users make informed financial decisions.
Ledger Live App® allows users to grow their crypto holdings through staking. Supported assets can be staked directly from the app, enabling users to earn rewards while keeping their funds secured by their Ledger device.
Unlike custodial platforms, staking through Ledger Live ensures that users retain full ownership of their assets. Rewards are earned without handing over private keys or relying on centralized intermediaries.
Privacy is a core principle behind the Ledger Live App®. Users maintain control over their data, and sensitive information is not shared without consent. The app is designed to minimize data exposure while maximizing transparency.
Ledger continuously works with security researchers and the broader crypto community to audit and improve its software. This commitment to openness reinforces trust and long-term reliability.
