Ledger® Live Wallet— Getting Started | official Ledger™ Live App
Managing cryptocurrency doesn’t have to be complicated. With the Ledger Live Wallet, you get a secure, intuitive platform to manage all your crypto assets from one place. Developed by Ledger, Ledger Live Wallet works seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X.
Why Ledger Live Wallet Matters
While hardware wallets keep your crypto safe by storing private keys offline, you still need a way to interact with your assets. Ledger Live Wallet bridges this gap by providing a secure interface for managing, sending, receiving, and tracking cryptocurrencies without compromising security.
The app ensures:
- All sensitive operations remain offline on the hardware wallet
- Encrypted communication between your device and software
- Real-time monitoring of portfolio performance
Ledger Live Wallet is available on both desktop and mobile devices, offering maximum flexibility for users on the go.
Key Features of Ledger Live Wallet
1. Portfolio Tracking: Get a clear view of your holdings across multiple cryptocurrencies. The dashboard shows your total portfolio value and recent transactions.
2. Send and Receive Crypto: Easily transfer funds. Each transaction requires confirmation on your Ledger device, preventing unauthorized access.
3. App Management: Install blockchain apps directly onto your Ledger device to access different networks like Ethereum, Solana, or Bitcoin.
4. Staking & Rewards: Stake supported assets directly through Ledger Live Wallet to earn rewards safely.
5. Buy & Swap Crypto: Purchase or exchange supported cryptocurrencies from trusted third-party partners integrated into Ledger Live.
By combining these features, Ledger Live Wallet turns your hardware wallet into a full-featured crypto management platform.
