Ledger Wallet — previously known as Ledger Live — is the official companion application developed by Ledger SAS for managing cryptocurrency assets in conjunction with Ledger hardware wallets. Rebranded in 2025 to reflect its expanded role beyond a simple portfolio viewer, Ledger Wallet now serves as a comprehensive gateway to the entire digital asset ecosystem, combining secure transaction signing with an integrated marketplace for buying, selling, swapping, staking, and accessing decentralized finance protocols.
At its core, Ledger Wallet bridges the gap between the offline security of a hardware wallet and the connected world of blockchain networks. Your private keys never leave the Secure Element chip inside your Ledger device, while the Wallet application handles network communication, account synchronization, and user interface rendering on your desktop or mobile device. This separation of concerns is the foundation of Ledger’s security model — even if your computer or phone is compromised, an attacker cannot sign transactions without physical access to your hardware wallet and your PIN code.
The application supports over 5,500 digital assets spanning dozens of blockchain networks, from established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum to emerging ecosystems like Solana, Cosmos, and Polkadot. Whether you are a first-time buyer acquiring your initial Bitcoin or an experienced DeFi participant managing yield strategies across multiple chains, Ledger Wallet provides the tools you need within a single, hardware-secured interface.

Core Capabilities
Everything you need to manage your digital assets securely
Send & Receive
Transfer cryptocurrency to and from your hardware wallet with full transaction verification on your device screen. Every outgoing transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger, ensuring no unauthorized transfers can occur even if your computer is compromised.
Portfolio Tracking
Monitor the real-time value of your entire crypto portfolio across all accounts and blockchain networks. View historical performance charts, individual asset allocation breakdowns, and profit/loss calculations — all synchronized automatically with your on-chain balances.
Buy & Sell Crypto
Purchase cryptocurrency directly within Ledger Wallet using credit cards, bank transfers, or Apple Pay through integrated partners like MoonPay, Ramp, and Sardine. Sell crypto back to fiat when needed, all without exposing your keys to third-party exchanges.
Swap & Exchange
Exchange one cryptocurrency for another using integrated swap providers including Changelly, 1inch, and Paraswap. Compare rates across multiple providers simultaneously and execute swaps secured by hardware wallet signing for maximum protection.
Staking
Earn passive income by staking supported assets directly through Ledger Wallet. Stake ETH, SOL, DOT, ATOM, and other proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies with integrated staking providers while maintaining full custody of your assets in your hardware wallet.
NFT Management
View, organize, and transfer your NFT collection directly within Ledger Wallet. The built-in NFT gallery displays your digital collectibles across Ethereum, Polygon, and other supported networks with full metadata, images, and transaction history.

Why Choose Ledger Wallet?
The security and usability advantages that set Ledger apart
Clear Signing Security
Ledger’s Clear Signing technology displays human-readable transaction details directly on your hardware wallet screen before you approve. Instead of signing a cryptic hash, you see exactly what you are authorizing — the recipient address, amount, network fees, and smart contract actions — eliminating blind signing vulnerabilities that have cost users millions in stolen funds.
Transaction Check ML Protection
Ledger’s machine-learning-powered Transaction Check analyzes every transaction in real time against known scam patterns, malicious contract addresses, and suspicious behaviors. Before you confirm on your device, Transaction Check provides a risk assessment that warns you about potential threats, adding an intelligent security layer on top of hardware wallet protection.
True Self-Custody
Your private keys are generated and stored exclusively inside the Secure Element chip of your Ledger device. They never leave the hardware, are never transmitted to Ledger servers, and cannot be extracted even by Ledger employees. You maintain absolute sovereignty over your assets at all times — no third party can freeze, seize, or access your funds.
Multi-Device Sync
Access your portfolio from any device — Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Ledger Wallet synchronizes your account data across platforms, so you can check balances on your phone and execute transactions on your desktop. Your hardware wallet connects via USB or Bluetooth depending on the device model, offering flexibility for every situation.
DeFi Gateway
Access decentralized applications directly through Ledger Wallet’s integrated dApp browser. Connect to lending protocols, liquidity pools, yield farms, and NFT marketplaces while every transaction is signed by your hardware wallet. Participate in the full DeFi ecosystem without sacrificing the security of self-custody.
