Overview — What is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is a secure, feature-rich application that connects with your Ledger hardware wallet so you can manage cryptocurrencies without exposing private keys. With Ledger Live Wallet you can install apps for hundreds of coins, check real-time balances, and execute transactions safely. The Ledger Live Login always goes through a hardware confirmation step to protect access.
