Whether you’re holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, or exploring DeFi and NFTs, Ledger Live acts as your command center for the crypto world — blending usability with unmatched protection.

The Story Behind Ledger Live
When crypto started gaining traction, users faced a paradox — convenience came with risk. Online wallets offered easy access but exposed users to hacks. Ledger’s solution combined cold storage security with a sleek app interface: Ledger Live. It’s like having an armored vehicle that drives you safely through the digital economy.
Launched in 2018, Ledger Live quickly became the gold standard for hardware wallet management, enabling self-custody while offering the same convenience as modern banking apps.
