The Ledger Live App is your gateway to controlling digital assets safely, from checking balances to sending and receiving cryptocurrency, all while keeping your private keys offline.
Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It bridges the gap between your device and blockchain networks, enabling you to manage cryptocurrencies safely. Unlike software wallets, Ledger Live never exposes your private keys. All sensitive operations—like signing transactions—happen directly on your device.
