Ledger Live is the official application developed by Ledger for managing cryptocurrencies and NFTs with industry-leading security. It acts as the central hub for interacting with your Ledger hardware wallet—such as the Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax—allowing you to securely buy, sell, swap, stake, and track thousands of digital assets from a single, user-friendly interface.

Key Features of Ledger Live

• Secure Asset Management: Ledger Live ensures that your private keys never leave your hardware device. All transactions are signed offline, meaning even if your computer or phone is compromised, your assets remain protected. This security model has contributed to Ledger’s track record of never being hacked in over a decade of operation.
• Comprehensive Crypto and NFT Support: Manage 1000s of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. The app supports major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as a wide range of tokens and digital collectibles.
• Buy, Sell, Swap, and Stake: Purchase crypto directly in the app using your bank card or transfer, swap tokens across multiple blockchains, and stake assets to earn rewards—all without needing to trust a centralized exchange.
• DeFi and dApp Access: Through the “Discover” section, you can access decentralized apps (dApps) securely, including DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and more, while maintaining full control over your keys and approvals.
• Portfolio Tracking and Sync: Monitor your entire portfolio in real time and use Ledger Sync to keep your data consistent across desktop and mobile devices.
• Clear Signing and Scam Protection: Ledger’s Clear Signing initiative ensures you see human-readable transaction details on your device’s secure screen, helping you avoid scams and blind signing risks.

How Ledger Live Keeps You Safe

• Offline Private Key Storage: Private keys are stored in a Secure Element chip within your Ledger device, isolated from internet-connected devices and immune to malware or remote attacks.
• Physical Transaction Confirmation: Every transaction must be manually confirmed on your Ledger device, adding a physical layer of security that cannot be bypassed remotely.
• PIN Code and Recovery Phrase: Devices are protected by a PIN code you set, and a 24-word recovery phrase allows you to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
• Continuous Security Audits: Ledger’s Donjon security team rigorously tests both hardware and software to address vulnerabilities and maintain the highest standards of protection.
