Ledger Live is the companion app for all Ledger hardware wallets. It provides a single interface to manage your entire crypto portfolio, from buying and selling to staking and swapping tokens.
What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is a free application available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android). It connects to your Ledger device and allows you to manage your crypto portfolio securely.
