Ledger App (formerly Ledger Live) | The all-in-one crypto

A modern presentation for teams, customers, or product pages — styled and ready.

Overview

Ledger App (formerly Ledger Live) is Ledger’s unified desktop and mobile experience for managing cryptocurrency securely. It connects to Ledger hardware wallets and provides portfolio tracking, secure transactions, staking, decentralized application access, and app management in a single user-friendly interface. Built for both beginners and experienced users, Ledger App emphasizes security, privacy, and real-world usability across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other assets.

Why it matters

As crypto adoption grows, users need ways to manage digital assets without sacrificing safety. Ledger App bridges convenience and cryptographic security by combining a familiar-feeling wallet interface with hardware-backed private key protection. That reduces exposure to software-only compromises while keeping on-device keys under the owner’s control.

Key features

  • Portfolio dashboard: Real-time balance and performance across wallets and accounts.
  • Secure Send & Receive: Transactions signed with your Ledger device — never exposing private keys to the network.
  • App Catalog: Install blockchains and apps directly to your Ledger device from the app.
  • Staking & Earnings: Stake supported assets and earn rewards without compromising private keys.
  • DApp & Web3 integration: Connect to decentralized applications while keeping keys off the web browser.
  • Cross-platform: Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android).

Security posture

Security is Ledger App’s core principle. Private keys are generated and stored inside the hardware device’s Secure Element; critical operations require physical confirmation on the device. Ledger App uses encrypted communication channels and does not retain private keys on servers. Combined with recovery phrase best practices, the Ledger ecosystem provides layered protections against phishing, malware, and remote compromise.

Experience & usability

The interface balances clarity and depth. New users can send and receive crypto with guided flows and confirmations, while power users can manage multiple accounts, customize settings, and view transaction details. Device onboarding, firmware updates, and app installation are streamlined with contextual help built into the application.

Use cases

  • Individuals wanting self-custody with strong hardware-backed protection.
  • Investors who need a consolidated portfolio overview across chains and accounts.
  • Developers and advanced users accessing DApps with cold-key signing.

Limitations & considerations

While Ledger App secures keys on hardware, users must still protect recovery phrases and physical devices. Third-party services connected to the app (for price feeds or DApp interactions) should be vetted, and users must remain vigilant against phishing attempts targeting Ledger customers.

Closing summary

Ledger App continues the Ledger mission: put users back in control of their crypto. By coupling an approachable UX with hardware-rooted security, it provides a practical, all-in-one solution for managing digital assets across everyday and advanced workflows.
