What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a software application developed by Ledger, the company behind the popular hardware wallets. The app works alongside your Ledger device to create a secure environment for managing digital assets.

Portfolio Dashboard

Ledger Live gives users a complete overview of their holdings. It tracks performance over time and displays balances in multiple currencies for better transparency.

Send and Receive Crypto

Users can send and receive a wide variety of cryptocurrencies. Every transaction must be verified on the Ledger hardware device, ensuring security and preventing unauthorized transfers.

Coin and Token Support

Ledger Live supports thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and ERC-20 tokens. Users can install specific apps on their hardware wallet for the assets they wish to manage.

Staking

Ledger Live allows you to stake certain assets (such as Ethereum, Tezos, or Polkadot) directly from the app, enabling passive income generation while keeping assets secure.
