Why Ledger Live?

Managing digital assets online comes with security risks — especially for large balances. Ledger Live is designed to keep your private keys offline on your hardware wallet, while giving you full transaction control from your desktop or mobile device.

Key benefits include:

• Multi‑crypto support — Manage thousands of coins and tokens across networks.
• Real‑time portfolio tracking — See your total balance, individual asset values, and trends.
• Buy/Sell/Swap — Integrated fiat purchase and token swap features in‑app.
• Staking — Earn rewards on supported assets like ETH, SOL, DOT, and more.
• NFT & Web3 access — View and interact with NFTs and supported dApps securely.

Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android — covering most devices crypto users rely on today.
