Ledger Live Wallet – Your All-in-One Crypto Management Solution
What Is the Ledger Live Wallet
Ledger Live wallet is the official application developed by Ledger to interact with your Ledger hardware wallet.

It’s available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android) and is fully integrated with the Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax.

The Ledger Live wallet offers everything a crypto user needs — all in one secure interface:

Key Features of Ledger Live Wallet

Portfolio Tracking
Ledger Live provides real-time market updates, balance changes, and performance charts for your assets. You can view your entire crypto portfolio in one place, track trends, and analyze your holdings by coin, asset type, or value.
Buy, Sell, Swap, and Bridge Crypto
Integrated services in Ledger Live allow you to:
- Buy crypto with fiat via trusted partners
- Sell coins securely
- Swap tokens instantly without leaving the app
- Bridge assets across networks, such as Ethereum and Polygon
All of these features are handled securely through your Ledger device, making Ledger Live a true DeFi-ready wallet interface.
