Ledger Live: Your Secure, All‑In‑One Crypto Companion

In today's fast-paced crypto world, managing your assets securely and efficiently is more important than ever. Ledger Live – the official app for Ledger users – does just that. Whether you're on desktop or mobile, Ledger Live links with your Ledger hardware wallet, allowing you to view balances, send and receive tokens, stake for rewards, explore NFTs, connect to DeFi, and trade—all without letting your private keys leave your device.

Let’s dive into how Ledger Live empowers you to manage, secure, and grow your crypto confidently.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official companion app designed to operate with Ledger hardware devices like the Nano X or Nano S Plus. Available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), it enables:

  • Live portfolio tracking with performance graphs
  • Secure sending and receiving of funds
  • In‑app Ledger staking for passive income
  • NFT display and management (Ethereum, Polygon)
  • DeFi access via WalletConnect and MetaMask
  • Built‑in trading tools (buy, sell, swap)
  • Robust Ledger login authentication

All with the peace of mind that your private keys remain offline at all times.

Start Smart: Install from Ledger.com/start

Begin by downloading from Ledger.com/start to ensure authenticity and security.

Setup steps:

  1. Select your platform and version (Desktop or Mobile)
  2. Install Ledger Live
  3. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet
  4. Initialize or restore your wallet with the 24‑word recovery phrase
  5. Set a secure PIN

Your secure, all-in-one crypto hub is now up and running.

Stay Protected with Ledger Login

Any critical operation—sending funds, staking, trading—requires Ledger login, where you confirm details on your device.

  • No passwords are exposed
  • Phishing and malware attacks blocked
  • You verify transaction details before signing
  • Works across desktop and mobile versions

This hardware-based “second-signature” keeps your assets bulletproof.

Earn with Ledger Staking

With Ledger staking, you can earn rewards while maintaining full control of your assets—no transfers or intermediaries.

Available staking coins:

  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Tezos (XTZ)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Cosmos (ATOM)

How it works:

  1. Navigate to “Earn Rewards”
  2. Choose a coin and select a validator
  3. Confirm the delegation with Ledger login
  4. Track rewards in real time—right in the app!

One Dashboard to Rule Them All

Ledger Live’s clean interface consolidates all your crypto activity:

  • Portfolio balance in your chosen fiat
  • Transaction history with CSV export
  • Price alerts for your favorite coins
  • Manage multiple accounts easily

All powered by your Ledger device and secured with Ledger login.

Explore NFTs & DeFi Safely

NFTs and DeFi are booming, and Ledger Live lets you participate securely:

  • View NFT collections on Ethereum & Polygon
  • Connect to dApps via WalletConnect or MetaMask
  • Use hardware verification for all actions
  • Control gas fees to optimize costs or speed

Engage with modern crypto trends with total peace of mind.

Trade Effortlessly with Built-In Tools

Ledger Live includes straightforward trading tools:

  • Buy crypto through integrated partners
  • Swap between assets directly in-app
  • Sell holdings with real-time estimates
  • Customize gas fees for EVM network control

Why Ledger Live Stands Out

  • Private keys are never online
  • Mandatory hardware confirmations for every action
  • Earn with built-in Ledger staking
  • Access NFTs and DeFi securely
  • Unified dashboard for easy oversight

With Ledger Live, you get power and protection in one polished app.
