What is Ledger Live Wallet?

The Ledger Live wallet is the official desktop and mobile application designed specifically for Ledger® hardware wallet users. This comprehensive platform serves as your central hub for managing cryptocurrency assets while maintaining the highest security standards through hardware-based private key protection.

Unlike traditional software wallets, Ledger Live combines the convenience of a modern interface with the uncompromising security of hardware wallet isolation, ensuring your private keys never leave your Ledger® device.

Security Architecture: All sensitive operations—including transaction signing and private key management—occur exclusively on your Ledger® hardware device. The Ledger Live wallet acts as a secure interface without ever accessing your private keys.
