Ledger® Live| Getting Started: Ledger® | support
Ledger Live is a versatile application designed to complement Ledger’s hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, and Nano X. Available for both desktop and mobile platforms, it provides users with a unified interface to manage their cryptocurrency assets securely and conveniently. The app allows users to monitor their portfolio, send and receive cryptocurrencies, stake assets, and even access DeFi and NFTs—all while maintaining the highest standards of security.
Unlike traditional crypto wallets, Ledger Live isn’t just a wallet interface. It integrates directly with Ledger's hardware wallets to ensure private keys never leave the device, offering unparalleled security against hacks and unauthorized access.
