Your modern guide to managing cryptocurrency safely
Ledger Live is the official software for managing your Ledger hardware wallets. It allows you to track, send, and receive cryptocurrency securely. Unlike other wallets, Ledger Live connects directly to your Ledger device to keep your private keys offline, making your crypto safe from hackers.
