📲 Key Features of the Ledger® Wallet App

1. Secure Crypto Management

Ledger Live works seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax). Your private keys remain offline and protected inside the hardware device, while Ledger Live provides the interface for managing your coins.

Instantly exchange one crypto asset for another without ever leaving the app. Ledger integrates with swap services such as Changelly and 1inch, letting you perform conversions while maintaining custody of your assets.

4. Staking to Earn Rewards

Put your idle assets to work. Ledger Live enables you to stake cryptocurrencies like Tezos (XTZ), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), and Ethereum (ETH) to earn rewards over time.

5. NFT Management

With Ledger Live, you can view, send, and receive NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon. Ledger is constantly expanding NFT support with added security protections through hardware wallet confirmation.

6. Portfolio Tracker

Track the value and performance of your holdings in real time. Ledger Live displays your total portfolio balance, asset allocation, and market trends—all in one clean dashboard.
