What Ledger Live does
Ledger Live acts as a secure interface to your Ledger hardware wallet, giving you a clear overview of your portfolio, support for 5,500+ coins and tokens, built-in staking and swap features, and the ability to add or remove apps on your device. The app never stores your private keys — those remain safely on your hardware device.

Secure Transactions
Sign transactions on your Ledger device to keep private keys offline and safe.

Install blockchain apps to support different cryptocurrencies and manage firmware updates.
