Ledger Live: The Secure Gateway to Managing Your Ledger Wallet
In today’s digital financial landscape, managing cryptocurrencies requires more than just a wallet—it demands a secure and user-friendly interface. Ledger Live is the official software companion to Ledger hardware wallets, designed to help users manage, monitor, and transact with their digital assets safely and efficiently.
Whether you’re new to crypto or a seasoned investor, Ledger Live plays a vital role in your daily crypto activities. It acts as the bridge between your Ledger wallet and the blockchain, empowering users with complete control over their portfolio—all in one intuitive dashboard.
What is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application that pairs with your Ledger hardware wallet—such as the Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X. While the wallet stores your private keys offline, Ledger Live provides the visual interface to send and receive assets, view balances, manage tokens, stake coins, and install new apps on the device.
It supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Polkadot, Solana, and hundreds more. All operations initiated through Ledger Live are verified and signed by your hardware wallet, making it a trusted solution for secure crypto management.

2. Secure Transactions
Every transaction made through Ledger Live must be physically verified on your Ledger wallet. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, no unauthorized transactions can take place.
