Ledger Live is the official software application for managing your Ledger hardware wallet, including popular models like the Ledger Nano S and Ledger Nano X. It connects to your hardware wallet, providing a simple, secure way to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. From checking balances to making transactions, Ledger Live ensures your private keys remain protected offline, making it a reliable choice for cryptocurrency users.
Ledger Live supports more than 1,800 cryptocurrencies, including the top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. You can manage multiple accounts for each currency, which helps you organize your assets in a way that makes sense to you.
Ledger Live makes sending and receiving crypto easy. The app shows real-time transaction details, such as fees, status updates, and confirmations. You can track the progress of your transactions and monitor your balance in real-time.
The core advantage of Ledger Live is that it works exclusively with your Ledger device, keeping your private keys offline. This dramatically reduces the risk of hacking or phishing attacks. Additionally, you can back up your wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase to restore access if needed.
