Ledger Live is Ledger’s official all-in-one crypto wallet application that lets users manage, buy, swap, stake, and monitor cryptocurrencies and NFTs while keeping private keys secured on a Ledger hardware device. It acts as the secure interface between your hardware wallet and the crypto ecosystem, enabling convenient account management without exposing private keys to the internet. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
