Key features
Hardware‑first security
Your private keys never leave your device. Ledger Live integrates with hardware wallets to keep signing operations offline while the app handles the user interface, networking and portfolio views.
Portfolio & analytics
Real‑time balances, historical performance charts, asset allocation and tax‑friendly export options so you can understand how your holdings are behaving over time.
Buy, swap & stake
On‑ramps for fiat purchases, in‑app swapping between tokens, and staking options for supported networks — all through trusted partners, presented within the app experience.
Multi‑account & multi‑asset
Create separate accounts for different coins, keep tokens organised, and manage NFTs and collectibles in one place.
Built for privacy
Minimal data collection, permissioned third‑party integrations and clear consent flows let you decide how you connect and share information.
Open ecosystem
Integrations with dApps, DeFi protocols and partner services allow advanced users to interact with the broader crypto ecosystem while maintaining hardware protections.
How it works
1
Set up your device
Initialize your hardware wallet and write down your recovery phrase. Ledger Live guides you step‑by‑step and only the device ever holds the private keys.
2
Connect accounts
Add accounts for the chains you use. Ledger Live fetches balances and transaction history so you get a unified portfolio view without exposing private keys.
3
Transact securely
When you initiate a send, the app prepares the transaction and your hardware device displays the details for you to verify and sign physically on the device.
Safety checklist
- Always verify the device screen before approving.
- Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
- Keep firmware and app versions up to date.
- Use a secure backup strategy for your recovery phrase.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a hardware device to use Ledger Live?
Ledger Live can display portfolio information without a hardware wallet, but to securely sign transactions and protect private keys a compatible hardware device is strongly recommended.
Can I manage NFTs?
Yes — the app provides a gallery view for supported chains so you can see your collectibles alongside tokens and balances. Interaction with dApps remains possible through approved integrations.
What about privacy?
Ledger Live minimizes telemetry and relies on permissioned partner integrations for certain services. Always review permissions when connecting third‑party services.
