What is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the companion app for Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax. It gives you a secure control center to manage thousands of coins and tokens, track your portfolio, connect dApps, and safeguard transactions with on-device confirmation.

View balances, performance, and recent activity across all accounts and networks in one place.

Buy, sell, swap, stake, and earn yield through integrated partners without leaving the app.
Web & Mobile
Use Ledger Live on desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux) and mobile (iOS/Android). Pair via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X/Stax).
