Ledger Live Wallet – Your Gateway to Secure Crypto Management

What Is Ledger Live Wallet

Ledger Live is the official companion application for the Ledger hardware wallet. It provides a secure and user-friendly interface to manage, buy, sell, stake, and grow your cryptocurrency portfolio. Whether you're using a Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X, Ledger Live is the essential platform to interact with your wallet.

All actions performed through Ledger Live are secured by your hardware device — meaning your private keys remain offline and protected at all times.

How Ledger Live Wallet Works

Ledger Live acts as the bridge between your computer or smartphone and your Ledger hardware wallet. When you make transactions, install apps, or check balances, the actions are processed through Ledger Live — but every sensitive operation (like sending crypto) must be confirmed on your physical Ledger device.

This dual-layer approach offers unmatched protection compared to hot wallets or software-only wallets.
