Whether you're new to crypto or a seasoned investor, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Ledger Live—what it is, how it works, and why it's one of the most trusted platforms for secure crypto management.

🌐 What Is Ledger® Live?

Ledger Live is a multi-functional desktop and mobile application that acts as a control center for your Ledger hardware wallet. It allows you to manage cryptocurrencies, stake tokens, buy/sell/swap assets, explore DeFi apps, view NFTs, and participate in governance—all while maintaining full ownership of your private keys.

Unlike centralized exchanges or custodial wallets, Ledger Live is non-custodial—meaning only you control your crypto, not a third party.
