Discover how Ledger Live helps you buy, sell, swap, and manage thousands of cryptocurrencies — all while keeping your digital wealth safe with Ledger hardware wallets.
Ledger Live is the official crypto management software developed by Ledger — the trusted company behind hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It allows you to manage crypto assets securely by pairing with your Ledger device, guaranteeing that your private keys never leave the secure chip inside your wallet.
Whether you want to buy Bitcoin, swap Ethereum, stake Polkadot, track portfolios, or manage NFTs — Ledger Live is your command center for complete crypto control.
Crypto exchanges are convenient… but dangerous. If an exchange is hacked or shuts down unexpectedly, you could lose everything. Ledger Live removes third-party risks by putting your assets under self-custody.
"Your keys, your crypto. Not your keys, not your crypto."
Ledger Live ensures your private keys stay locked inside your hardware wallet. Even if your computer is infected with malware, hackers still can't touch your coins.
Follow this simple step-by-step guide:
Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website only (never from random links).
Desktop and mobile versions are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Connect your Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X. Follow on-screen steps to initialize or restore a wallet.
Write down your 24-word recovery seed. Never photograph or store it online. Hide it safely.
Install apps for your coins, add accounts, and start sending, receiving, swapping, or staking.
Your coins stay offline. Your future stays protected.
Why let your crypto sit idle? Ledger Live offers secure staking options for multiple coins.
