What is Ledger® Live?

Ledger Live is the secure software interface designed to work with Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X hardware wallets. Unlike browser extensions or web wallets, Ledger Live runs locally on your desktop or mobile device and connects to your Ledger hardware device to ensure offline key storage and transaction approval on-device only.

With Ledger Live, you can:

  • Set up and manage your Ledger wallet
  • Securely log in using your physical device
  • Install crypto apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.)
  • Send and receive coins and tokens
  • Stake supported assets to earn passive rewards
  • Track portfolio performance in real time
  • Access DeFi and NFTs through Ledger's Web3 features
