Ledger Live
Your portfolio, real-time
Ledger Live gives a clear, real-time view of all your holdings in a single portfolio. See value charts, performance over time, and individual account balances — all without exposing private keys to the internet. The interface is built for both newcomers and experienced traders who want a clean snapshot of their digital net worth.
Real-time pricing, historical charts, and consolidated balances make tracking effortless — whether you hold a handful of coins or dozens of tokens.
Buy, sell, swap — inside the app
Ledger Live integrates trusted partners so you can buy crypto with fiat, quickly swap tokens, or cash out securely. Transactions are initiated in the app, and every signature happens on your Ledger device — protecting your private keys while keeping the flow smooth and simple.
- Instant swaps between supported tokens
- Buy or sell with partner services (no extra wallet setup)
- Third-party integrations accessible inside Ledger Live
Stake and earn — keep control
Earn rewards by staking supported cryptocurrencies directly from Ledger Live. Compare rates, track rewards in a transparent dashboard, and manage validator choices — all while retaining custody of your keys. Staking remains flexible: you can delegate or unstake when you need to, without sharing private credentials.
Grow assets through staking — but remember: rewards and availability vary by network and may change over time.
Connect to dApps & NFTs
Use Ledger Live as a secure gateway to web3. Browse and interact with dApps, collect and view NFTs, and sign transactions safely. Clear signing prompts ensure you always understand what you're approving, and the hardware wallet confirms the action before any irreversible transaction is executed.
Clear signing reduces phishing risk: your device displays exactly what you are authorizing.
Security first — design by default
Ledger Live is designed around the principle that your private key never leaves your Ledger device. The app handles balances and interactions while the device stores and signs transactions in a secure element. That separation is the core defense against remote theft.
Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger Live will never ask for your seed — if any interface does, treat it as a scam.
Backup & sync
Ledger's ecosystem focuses on resilient ownership. Use your recovery phrase for device restoration if needed, and Ledger offers features to sync account history across devices while keeping the seed offline. These tools are built to balance ease of use with safety.
Always store your recovery phrase offline and in a safe place.
Getting started — fast setup
1. Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website and install the desktop or mobile app. 2. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet. 3. Install crypto apps via the Manager and add accounts. 4. Start tracking, sending, staking, and exploring web3 — while the device signs each transaction.
Pro tip: always verify you downloaded Ledger Live from the official site and that your device firmware is up to date before transferring funds.
Safety checklist
- Download only from ledger.com: avoid third-party downloads or email attachments.
- Never enter your recovery phrase: Ledger Live or any legitimate app will never ask for it.
- Keep firmware updated: device updates add security patches and improvements.
- Use clear signing: confirm each transaction on your device screen.
