What Is Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the official app for Ledger hardware wallets (like the Nano X, Nano S Plus). It gives you a secure interface to manage your crypto assets without exposing your private keys to the internet. All sensitive operations — buying, swapping, tracking — require physical confirmation on your hardware device. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
