Ledger Live — Secure Crypto Management App

Ledger Live is the official crypto management application that pairs with Ledger hardware wallets to help users securely manage, monitor, and grow their digital assets. It offers a single dashboard to view balances across accounts, connect to decentralized apps (dApps), and manage NFTs and tokens. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

With Ledger Live you can buy, sell, swap, and stake supported cryptocurrencies directly inside the app, or connect to third-party services for on-ramps and swaps. The app supports thousands of coins and tokens and integrates staking and lending features that let users earn rewards while keeping private keys offline on a Ledger device. :contentReference

Key benefits include hardware wallet integration (private keys remain offline), an intuitive portfolio view, and access to DeFi and NFT features through Ledger Live Apps. Users can connect compatible wallets like MetaMask when needed while still signing transactions with their Ledger device for extra security. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Security best practices: always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website and never share your recovery seed phrase. There have been reports of fake Ledger installers targeting macOS users — only install binaries whose signatures or hashes you verify against Ledger’s official checks. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced self-custody user, Ledger Live streamlines on-device security with a user-friendly interface for portfolio tracking, transactions, staking, and interacting with Web3 — all while keeping your private keys protected by Ledger’s secure element. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
