Overview
Ledger Live Wallet® is Ledger's desktop and mobile application that connects to your Ledger hardware device (such as Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X). It functions as a secure user interface to manage private keys, check balances, receive/send cryptocurrencies, access decentralized applications (dApps), and use on-ramp/off-ramp services.
