Ledger® Live Wallet™ | Ledger Live Crypto Wallet App

A concise presentation on what Ledger Live is, why it matters, how to get it, safety tips, and official Ledger resources.

Overview — What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is Ledger’s official all-in-one crypto wallet application that lets users manage, buy, swap, stake, and monitor cryptocurrencies and NFTs while keeping private keys secured on a Ledger hardware device. It acts as the secure interface between your hardware wallet and the crypto ecosystem, enabling convenient account management without exposing private keys to the internet. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Core features

Why use Ledger Live with a Ledger device?

Using Ledger Live together with a Ledger hardware wallet stores private keys in a secure element on the device while the application provides a user-friendly way to interact with accounts and decentralized apps. This split dramatically reduces exposure to online attacks, phishing, and malware. Ledger emphasizes downloading only from official sources and verifying installers to avoid counterfeit applications. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
