Ledger Live — Buy, Sell & Stake Crypto
Securely connect your Ledger hardware to buy, sell, manage and stake crypto — all from one colorful, intuitive app.
Bring your crypto together — with confidence
Ledger Live is the bridge between your hardware wallet and the world of decentralized finance. It lets you buy, sell, receive, send, and stake crypto while keeping your private keys offline and protected. The app is built to be approachable for newcomers and powerful for advanced users — offering a single place to view your portfolio, monitor prices, and interact with decentralized apps.
What you can do with Ledger Live
- Buy & Sell — On-ramps and fiat integrations make purchasing crypto faster without exposing your keys.
- Stake — Delegate or stake supported tokens to earn rewards while remaining in control of your assets.
- Portfolio — Track performance across hundreds of supported assets, with realtime price data and historical charts.
- Security-first — Pair the app with a Ledger hardware device so your private keys never touch the internet.
Whether you’re collecting small cap tokens or managing diversified holdings, Ledger Live provides clear workflows, guided onboarding, and built-in safety checks to make every action deliberate and reversible. It’s colorful, approachable, and intentionally designed to demystify cryptographic ownership.
Designed for safety, built for people
Ledger Live combines cryptographic best practices with approachable language, visual cues, and confirmations that reduce costly mistakes. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger device, and the app provides context-aware warnings when you interact with new or risky smart contracts. Color-coded badges, transaction previews, and activity logs make it easy to audit past operations and understand where value is moving.
