Ledger Live is the ultimate companion app for managing your entire cryptocurrency portfolio with unmatched security through hardware wallet integration. Supports over 15,000 assets, DeFi, NFTs, staking, and cross-chain swaps. .
In 2026, the Web3 ecosystem has exploded with new blockchains, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and staking opportunities. However, with great innovation comes great risk — hacks, phishing attacks, and bridge exploits cost users billions every year. Ledger Live solves this by combining the convenience of a software wallet with the ironclad security of hardware devices.
Unlike hot wallets that keep your private keys online and vulnerable, Ledger Live ensures that your keys never leave your hardware device. Every transaction is physically confirmed on the device itself, making it virtually impossible for malware or remote attackers to steal your funds.
Whether you're a beginner holding Bitcoin and Ethereum or an advanced user diving deep into Solana DeFi and Polygon NFTs, Ledger Live provides a single, intuitive interface for everything.
Ledger Live continues to evolve rapidly. Here are the most powerful features available right now:
Connect directly to popular protocols like Uniswap, Aave, Curve, Lido, and Paraswap without ever exposing your private keys. Clear signing ensures you always know exactly what you're approving.
Stake Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, Tezos, Tron, and many more directly in the app. Earn competitive rewards while maintaining full control over your assets — no third-party custodians.
View, send, receive, and display your NFTs from Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and more. The gallery view lets you showcase your collection beautifully.
Swap between thousands of assets across different networks using integrated partners like Changelly and Paraswap — all with blind signing protection.
Real-time balance updates, historical charts, profit/loss calculations, and tax reporting tools help you stay on top of your investments.
Manage unlimited accounts across multiple Ledger hardware devices from one app installation.
Ledger has over 10 years of experience securing digital assets and has sold more than 7 million hardware wallets worldwide. The combination of Ledger Live and a hardware wallet provides defense-in-depth security:
