Securely manage and grow your crypto — anywhere.
Ledger Live pairs with your hardware wallet to give you a single, trusted place to manage accounts, send and receive funds, swap tokens, stake assets for rewards, and monitor portfolio performance — without ever exposing your private keys online.
Hardware wallet integration
Keep private keys offline and sign transactions on your device. Ledger Live communicates with your hardware wallet so sensitive data never leaves the device.
Portfolio & analytics
Track balances across accounts, visualize performance, and export transaction history for taxes or record keeping.
Swap & Buy
Built-in partners let you swap tokens or buy crypto with fiat directly inside the app using regulated liquidity providers.
Staking & earnings
Stake supported assets directly from your accounts to earn rewards while keeping custody via your hardware wallet.
Multi-currency support
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, major altcoins and thousands of ERC-20 tokens — all from one interface.
Secure updates
Firmware and app updates are cryptographically signed, so you always know you're installing an authentic release.
Security-first by design
Ledger Live is built around one core principle: your private keys must remain private. The app orchestrates account management and transaction creation, while signing happens on your hardware device. That separation ensures your secrets never touch an internet-connected computer.
- Cold storage: Private keys are stored on a secure element inside the device.
- Verified firmware: Updates are signed and verified before installation.
- Transaction confirmation: Always confirm addresses and amounts on your device's screen.
- Recovery & backup: Recover your portfolio with a 24-word recovery phrase stored offline.
How it works — in 3 steps
- Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to Ledger Live.
- Manage accounts, prepare transactions and review details in the app.
- Confirm and sign transactions directly on your Ledger device.
