What is Ledger Live Wallet?

Ledger Live is the official companion software for Ledger hardware wallets, providing a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency assets. It serves as a bridge between your Ledger hardware device (Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X) and the blockchain networks, allowing you to send, receive, and manage your digital assets without compromising your private keys.

Unlike web-based wallets, Ledger Live operates on a principle of maximum security. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your cryptocurrencies remain protected.
