Welcome to the ultimate hub for managing your digital wealth: the **Ledger Wallet™ app**, the official companion for all Ledger hardware signers (crypto wallets). Formerly known as Ledger Live™, this powerful application redefines self-custody by pairing **industry-leading security** with unparalleled ease of use. It is a comprehensive resource designed to empower you to take complete control of your Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), NFTs, and thousands of other digital assets from one intuitive, secure place.
Since its inception, the application has been the bridge between the impenetrable security of Ledger's hardware devices—battle-tested by top cybersecurity experts—and the dynamic world of Web3. It’s not just an interface; it's your personal, uncompromised gateway to crypto finance, ensuring your private keys remain **safely offline** and protected by the CC EAL6+ certified Secure Element found in every Ledger device.
Millions of users worldwide trust the Ledger ecosystem. Our commitment is to simplify the language and the tools, granting you greater clarity and confidence in every decision you make regarding your portfolio, transactions, and future in the decentralized space. This level of confidence is why Ledger has sold over 7.5 million devices globally with **zero reported hacks** of the hardware itself.
The core philosophy of Ledger Wallet™ is built upon the unique pairing with a Ledger hardware signer. Your private keys, the cryptographic proof of ownership of your assets, never leave the Secure Element chip on your physical device. The Ledger Wallet™ app, whether on your desktop or mobile device, acts as a window to your accounts, allowing you to monitor and initiate transactions, but the crucial signing and approval process **always** happens offline on your Ledger device.
Every single transaction—sending, swapping, buying, or interacting with a dApp—must be physically reviewed and approved or rejected on the trusted screen of your Ledger signer. This vital step is known as **What You See Is What You Sign (WYSIWYS)** and is the ultimate safeguard against malware, phishing, and remote hacks. Hackers can attack your computer or phone all they want; without physical access and your PIN, they cannot compromise your assets.
The application itself is designed with data safety as a priority. Unlike many other software wallets, Ledger Wallet™ does not require you to sign in with an email and password. Your data is kept locally on your phone or computer, further minimizing the risk of a central data breach affecting your information. We strongly advise all users to continuously update their Ledger OS™ firmware and the Ledger Wallet™ app to benefit from the latest security improvements and bug fixes.
This architectural separation of key storage (offline hardware) and interface (online app) is what makes the Ledger solution the gold standard for self-custody in the digital asset industry.
Gain a holistic, real-time perspective of your entire digital asset portfolio. The Ledger Wallet™ app enables you to track over **15,000 different crypto assets** with ease. You can monitor market trends, visualize your historical performance with clear graphs, and receive timely price alerts to ensure you make informed decisions before choosing to sign any transaction. The portfolio dashboard provides an effortless breakdown of your holdings across various chains and tokens, allowing for efficient diversification management.
Securely send and receive crypto like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), and more. The process is straightforward, but its security is uncompromising. When receiving, the app provides a validated public address for your account, which you can confidently share. When sending, the transaction details are verified on your hardware signer's screen before the transaction is broadcast to the network. This simple, two-step verification process prevents address-swap scams and ensures your funds go exactly where you intend them to.
The Ledger Wallet™ app integrates with a constantly expanding range of trusted, third-party service providers (like Coinbase, MoonPay, and others) to offer in-app services. You can:
Put your crypto to work for you while maintaining **full ownership** of your private keys. The app offers simple solutions for staking popular Proof-of-Stake assets like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM), and more. Through leading service providers like Lido, Kiln, and Figment, you can:
This is a greener and safer way to build your wealth, all managed securely through the Ledger Wallet™ interface and approved on your hardware signer.
Dive into the decentralized world with confidence. The **Discover** section provides a curated and transparent gateway to a selection of decentralized apps (dApps). Seamlessly connect to the DeFi landscape, utilize advanced features like bridges for cross-chain transactions, and even employ MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) protection to manage your exposure to risks within the dynamic digital asset landscape.
The Ledger Wallet™ app is your dedicated gallery for digital art. You can send, receive, buy, sell, mint, and showcase your non-fungible tokens (NFTs) via specialized marketplaces integrated within the app. Just like with cryptocurrency, your valuable NFTs are protected by the offline security of your Ledger hardware wallet, making it the safest place to store your most prized digital collectibles.
The recent introduction of new features ensures that all major token standards and collections are supported, giving users the freedom to participate fully in the NFT economy without compromising on security.
The Ledger Wallet™ app is built for accessibility and convenience. It is available on both **desktop** and **mobile** platforms, providing a consistent and user-friendly interface regardless of the device you use.
It is designed to work seamlessly with all Ledger hardware signers, including the classic Ledger Nano™ devices and newer touchscreen models like Ledger Stax™. Connection is facilitated through a USB cable for all models or wirelessly via **Bluetooth®** for compatible signers like the Ledger Nano X.
The user interface is continuously refined to offer maximum clarity, from initial onboarding to complex DeFi interactions. The goal is to demystify crypto management, enabling everyone, from beginners to advanced users, to navigate the world of digital assets with assurance.
