What Is the Ledger Live App?
Ledger Live App is the companion software for Ledger hardware wallets — the interface that connects your Ledger device to the digital world securely. It enables you to interact with your crypto assets while keeping your private keys stored offline on the Ledger hardware wallet.
Whether you're sending Bitcoin, receiving Ethereum, staking Cardano, or swapping altcoins, Ledger Live App gives you full control. The app supports over 15,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, bridging the gap between hardware security and ecosystem flexibility.
Key Features & Benefits
Secure Transaction Signing
All transaction approvals and signatures happen on your Ledger device, not in the app, ensuring your private keys never leave the hardware wallet. This protects you from malware, phishing, and remote hacks.
Support for Thousands of Cryptos
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and thousands more. Ledger Live App unifies all your assets in one secure dashboard, eliminating the need to use multiple wallets.
Stake & Earn Rewards
Stake supported proof-of-stake coins directly in the app. Earn rewards while retaining full control over your crypto — no need to transfer to external platforms.
Swap, Buy & Manage Assets
Execute instant swaps or buy, sell, and manage crypto with integrated service providers — all while your keys remain protected offline.
How It Works: Send, Receive & Stake Securely
Using the Ledger Live App is intuitive but built on robust security. Below is an overview of how the app works with your Ledger hardware wallet to manage crypto safely:
- Connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile via USB or Bluetooth.
- Launch Ledger Live App and unlock your device.
- Create accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported assets.
- To send crypto: specify the recipient address and amount, confirm on your device, and sign securely.
- To receive crypto: share your public address (not private keys), and funds will deposit directly to your hardware wallet account.
- To stake: choose a supported asset, delegate via Ledger Live, and let your assets earn rewards while maintaining security.
- Monitor portfolio analytics, price charts, and performance within the app dashboard.
