What is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the official companion app to Ledger’s hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It allows you to securely manage a wide range of digital assets, including crypto and NFTs, all from one intuitive dashboard. Available on desktop and mobile, Ledger Live connects you to blockchain networks while keeping your private keys stored offline in your Ledger device.
Securely Manage Your NFTs
Ledger Live has full support for Ethereum-based NFTs (ERC-721 and ERC-1155). With its NFT Manager feature, you can:
- View your NFT collection with full metadata and visuals
- Send and receive NFTs securely with transaction confirmation on your Ledger device
- Connect to marketplaces like OpenSea or Rarible through Ledger’s secure browser extension
All transactions are signed on your hardware wallet, ensuring you never expose your NFT collection to malicious sites or phishing attacks.
Top Features of Ledger Live
- Multi-Asset Support: Manage 5,500+ coins and tokens across 30+ blockchains.

Unmatched Security with Ledger Hardware
Ledger Live is not just a software wallet. It works in tandem with a Ledger hardware wallet to secure your assets. Unlike hot wallets, Ledger hardware stores your private keys offline, protecting you from phishing, keyloggers, and remote attacks.
- Every transaction must be approved on your device screen.
- Your seed phrase is never exposed online.
- Firmware updates and secure element chips protect against physical tampering.
- No browser extensions or hot wallet exposure by default.
How to Start Using Ledger Live
- Download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website or app store.
- Install and open the app on your computer or mobile device.
- Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth.
- Set up your device, write down your recovery phrase, and choose a secure PIN.
- Add crypto accounts and start managing your portfolio.
- For NFTs, navigate to the NFT section to view and manage your assets.
Tip: Always double-check URLs and never share your recovery phrase online.
Ledger Live and Web3 Integration
Ledger Live allows safe interaction with Web3 platforms such as DeFi, staking protocols, and NFT marketplaces. You can connect your wallet to apps like Uniswap, OpenSea, or Compound using Ledger’s secure browser extension (Ledger Extension) or WalletConnect integration.
This ensures all contract interactions are confirmed on your device, keeping your funds and data protected even when using decentralized apps.
Supported Crypto & NFTs
Ledger Live supports thousands of digital assets including:
- Crypto: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOT, AVAX, LTC, and stablecoins like USDT & USDC
- NFTs: Ethereum-based NFTs (ERC-721, ERC-1155), with visual previews and metadata support
Additional support for Solana and other NFT ecosystems is being developed, making Ledger Live future-ready for expanding NFT adoption.
