What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the official companion application developed to work seamlessly with Ledger® hardware wallets. It acts as a secure dashboard where users can view balances, send and receive crypto assets, install apps, and manage accounts across multiple blockchains. Unlike browser‑based wallets, Ledger Live operates in combination with a physical device, keeping private keys offline at all times.
The concept behind Ledger Live is simple yet powerful: usability without compromising security. Through a clean interface and encrypted communication with your Ledger device, the application ensures that sensitive operations are always verified on the hardware screen. This design significantly reduces exposure to malware, phishing attempts, and unauthorized access.
Whether you are holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a diversified portfolio of digital assets, Ledger Live provides a unified environment. It supports portfolio tracking, staking options, and integration with decentralized applications, all while maintaining a strong security foundation.
