What You Can Do with Ledger Live

A unified command center for your crypto and NFTs — with the security of your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax.

Buy & Sell

Purchase or cash out crypto through integrated partners directly in the app. You keep control of your assets at all times.

Swap & Bridge

Exchange assets across supported chains without leaving Ledger Live, with transparent quotes and on-device confirmation.

Stake & Earn

Stake popular coins and track rewards in real time. Hardware approvals help keep your yield strategies safer.

DeFi Access

Connect to dApps via Ledger Live or WalletConnect while keeping private keys secured in your device.

NFT Management

View, send, and receive NFTs with metadata previews. Validate transactions on your Ledger screen before signing.

Portfolio & Analytics

Track balances, performance, and historical transactions across accounts, networks, and tokens.

Security, by Design

Ledger Live is your interface — your Ledger device is the vault. Every critical action is confirmed on-device.

On-Device Verification

Addresses, amounts, and smart-contract approvals must be confirmed on your Ledger screen — blocking man-in-the-middle tricks.

Offline Private Keys

Your private keys never leave the Secure Element chip. Ledger Live orchestrates, your hardware signs.

Authentic Software

Always download from ledger.com/ledger-live and verify update prompts inside the app.

FAQ

Is Ledger Live required?

No, but it’s the easiest way to manage assets. You can also connect your Ledger to external wallets and dApps for specific chains.

What if I reinstall or change computers?

Just reinstall Ledger Live and reconnect your device. Your accounts derive from the seed stored on the Ledger, not the computer.

Can I use DeFi safely?

Yes. Always review contract details and amounts on the device screen before approving. Decline anything unexpected.

Where do I get support?
