Top Ledger Live Features

1. 🧠 Secure Hardware Wallet Integration

  • Ledger Live only works with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X).

  • All transactions must be physically verified on the device, keeping your private keys offline and safe.


2. 📊 Portfolio Overview

  • Real-time tracking of your full crypto portfolio, including:

    • Asset allocation

    • Total balance in your local currency

    • Historical performance

  • Supports multiple accounts per coin.


3. 💸 Send & Receive Crypto Securely

  • Easily send and receive over 5,000+ coins and tokens.

  • Every transaction must be confirmed on your device, preventing malware from sending unauthorized transactions.


4. 🔄 Built-in Buy, Sell, and Swap

  • Integrated partners like MoonPay, Ramp, Coinify, and Changelly let you:

    • Buy crypto with fiat (credit card, bank transfer)

    • Swap crypto directly from your wallet

    • Sell selected assets for fiat (depending on region)

  • Transactions remain non-custodial — you control your keys.


5. 🏦 Staking & Earning Rewards

  • Stake coins like:

    • Ethereum (ETH)

    • Solana (SOL)

    • Polkadot (DOT)

    • Tezos (XTZ)

  • Earn rewards while keeping your funds under your control.


6. 🪪 NFT Support

  • Manage Ethereum and Polygon NFTs directly within Ledger Live.

  • View NFT images and metadata.

    • Compound (DeFi lending)

    • Lido (staking)

    • ParaSwap (DEX aggregator)

    • Rainbow.me (NFT viewer)

  • All apps are sandboxed and require your device to sign interactions.

  • Manage different wallets under a single interface.

  • Ability to export/import accounts with your recovery phrase.


9. 📱 Mobile App + Bluetooth Support

  • Great for on-the-go transactions and portfolio checks.

  • Biometric security and password locking available.


10. 🔔 Security & Privacy Focus

  • Ledger Live does not host your keys or backup phrases.

  • Open-source components (especially the core libraries).

  • Local PIN & optional passphrase for added security.

  • Device-required confirmations reduce phishing and malware risks.


🧩 Bonus Features (Advanced Users)

  • Custom fees for transactions

  • Token management (ERC-20, BEP-20, etc.)

  • Experimental developer mode

  • Node configuration for advanced network control
