What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, offering a secure and user-friendly interface to manage your digital assets. It allows users to buy, sell, exchange, stake, and monitor their crypto portfolio—all in one place. Whether you're new to crypto or a seasoned investor, Ledger Live helps you take full control over your funds.
