Ledger Live* | Getting started

Managing cryptocurrency has never been easier or safer than with Ledger Live, the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets. Ledger Live allows users to take full control of their digital assets while keeping private keys offline, providing security, transparency, and convenience in one platform.

Whether you’re a beginner just setting up your Ledger Nano X or an experienced investor managing a diverse crypto portfolio, Ledger Live provides a single dashboard to oversee your digital wealth. It connects seamlessly with your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring that every transaction is verified directly on the device.

Why Ledger Live is Essential for Crypto Users

Unlike online wallets or exchange accounts, Ledger Live doesn’t store your private keys on a server. Keys always remain on your Ledger device, protecting your assets from hacks, malware, and phishing attempts.

With Ledger Live, you can:

Monitor your portfolio in real-time, including balances, transactions, and performance metrics.

Send and receive cryptocurrencies safely, with every transaction requiring device verification.

Install apps for supported cryptocurrencies directly from the dashboard.

Stake crypto and earn rewards on supported networks without exposing your private keys.

Swap and buy crypto through integrated exchange services without leaving the app.

Ledger Live also integrates with decentralized apps (DApps) using WalletConnect, making it easier to interact with the Web3 ecosystem securely.
