All private keys are stored within a certified Secure Element chip (CC EAL5+), the same level of security used for passports and bank cards. This chip is impenetrable, ensuring your seed phrase never leaves the device. Ledger Live provides the window; the Nano provides the fortress.
Every single transaction must be physically verified and confirmed on your Ledger Nano device. This air-gapped process means that even if your computer is compromised, the hacker cannot sign a transaction without physical access to your device and your PIN. This removes all software wallet vulnerabilities.
Ledger Live includes a mandatory Genuine Check process every time you connect your device. This cryptographic verification ensures that the firmware installed on your Ledger Nano is authentic and has not been tampered with, guaranteeing the integrity of your security chain from hardware to software.
The fundamental weakness of hot wallets and software-only solutions is their reliance on the security of the host operating system. Malware, phishing, and remote access attacks can easily compromise private keys stored on a PC or smartphone. Ledger Live elegantly solves this by offloading the private key and transaction signing process entirely to the Ledger Nano, which acts as a secure external signing authority. This separation of concerns is the gold standard in digital asset protection, creating a truly unhackable vault for your crypto.
Ledger Live provides a consolidated view of all your assets across different blockchains, managed from one simple interface. Forget juggling multiple applications. Your complete, real-time portfolio value, asset distribution, and transaction history are clearly presented. The detailed transaction logging includes customizable filters, gas fee breakdowns, and export options for tax reporting purposes. This central hub is built for both novice users and experienced traders who require comprehensive oversight without compromising security.
Safely buy, sell, and swap crypto directly within the Ledger Live application. Thanks to partnerships with leading third-party exchange providers (e.g., Wyre, MoonPay, Changelly), you can purchase assets using fiat currency (USD, EUR, etc.) and have them immediately secured on your Ledger Nano. The crucial difference is that the private keys are never exposed to the exchange platform, providing a risk-free path from fiat to self-custody.
Grow your assets securely by staking coins directly through Ledger Live. For proof-of-stake assets like Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, and Tezos, staking is handled while your private keys remain safely locked in the hardware. This removes the need to use centralized exchanges for staking, maximizing yield and eliminating counterparty risk. The "Earn" section also includes vetted access to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Ledger Live supports the management of over 50 blockchains and 5,000+ tokens, including all major ERC-20, BEP-20, and native assets.
The 'Discover' section inside Ledger Live is a curated marketplace for decentralized applications (dApps). We only list applications that meet our stringent security criteria and have integrated the Ledger connection standard. This means you can interact with services like Aave, Compound, and decentralised exchanges (DEXs) knowing that your transactions are secured by your hardware wallet. This trust layer prevents common exploit vectors like malicious smart contract interactions.
View, send, and receive your Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) from Ethereum and Polygon chains directly within Ledger Live. We support a comprehensive visual gallery, complete with token metadata. Critically, we introduce clear-signing for all NFT transactions, protecting you from blind-signing attacks where a malicious third party tries to trick you into transferring ownership under the guise of an innocuous transaction. Your Ledger screen will show the key transaction details before you sign.
Beyond the native assets, Ledger Live allows for the integration of custom token contracts and the secure management of complex UTXO and account-based structures. This flexibility is essential for power users who are dealing with new tokens, various test networks, or complex DeFi strategies. All keys remain hardware-secured, regardless of the asset's complexity or novelty.
"Switching to Ledger Live was the most important security decision I made. The integration is seamless, and knowing my keys are offline gives me unparalleled peace of mind. The UI is clean, intuitive, and handles all my transactions effortlessly."

"The built-in swapping feature saves me so much time and hassle. It’s a true single-stop shop for crypto management, and the fact that I don't have to trust a centralized exchange to hold my assets while trading is a game changer."
- Jane D., Financial Advisor
"Ledger Live simplifies complex features like staking. I can delegate my coins and watch my returns grow right next to my portfolio balance, all while my private keys remain utterly inaccessible to the internet."
