Ledger® Live Wallet — Getting Started | Official Ledger™

Ledger® Live Wallet is the official application designed to help you securely manage your crypto assets with Ledger™ hardware wallets. Whether you are new to crypto or an experienced investor, Ledger® Live provides a powerful, secure, and user-friendly interface to buy, sell, stake, and manage digital assets safely.

What Is Ledger® Live?

Ledger® Live is the official companion software for Ledger™ hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It allows users to securely interact with their crypto assets while keeping private keys offline inside the hardware wallet.

With Ledger® Live, you can:

Install and manage crypto apps on your device
Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely
Buy, sell, swap, and stake assets
