Buy, swap, stake, navigate DeFi and more with Ledger Wallet™. The bitcoin wallet and crypto platform that keeps your private keys safely offline — always.
From securing a bitcoin wallet to full DeFi access — the ledger app handles it all without ever exposing your private keys.
Private keys stored in a certified Secure Element chip, completely offline. Every transaction requires physical approval on your device.
The ledger live app runs on iOS and Android. Full portfolio view, live prices, and instant notifications — wherever you are.
The ledger live desktop version delivers a wide-screen portfolio dashboard for managing complex holdings across multiple accounts.
Manage BTC with hardware-signed transactions, live fee estimates, SegWit and Taproot support — the most reliable bitcoin wallet setup available.
Compare quotes from 50+ swap providers across all major chains. Move assets freely while your keys stay in cold storage.
Put ETH, SOL, and stablecoins to work. Track rewards and choose validators while keeping full ownership of your assets.
When you approve a transaction in the ledger live app, the signing happens inside the Secure Element chip — not on your phone or computer. The signed result reaches the blockchain. Your raw key never moves, never touches your device's RAM, and is never online.
