One app for all your crypto moves

Ledger Wallet™ is a self-custody crypto app for desktop and mobile. It gives you one place to track a portfolio across 100+ blockchains with live market data, send and receive crypto, and reach buying, swapping and staking services from third-party providers that the app compares for you. It connects directly to decentralised apps without a browser extension or middleware. Where most crypto apps keep your private keys on the phone or computer running them, Ledger Wallet™ keeps keys in the Secure Element of a Ledger signer, which approves every transaction. Ledger never holds your assets, and there is no account, email or password — access is through your device and your PIN.

Security in the Ledger Wallet™ app works by keeping your private keys off the phone or computer you browse with. Keys are held in a certified Secure Element chip on your Ledger device, which signs transactions offline, and the app holds no custody of your assets. Every transaction must be reviewed and physically approved on your Ledger device before it executes, so a compromised phone or computer cannot move assets on its own. Clear Signing displays the full transaction details on the device screen, so you can check what you are approving rather than approving a code you cannot read. If your device is lost or damaged, access to your assets can be restored on a new Ledger device using your Secret Recovery Phrase.

Ledger Wallet™ is a crypto wallet app and does what software wallets do: hold and manage assets across 100+ blockchains, connect to decentralised apps, and reach buy, swap and staking services. The difference is architectural. A software wallet stores your private keys on the phone or computer running it, so anything that compromises that machine can reach your keys. Ledger Wallet™ stores keys in the Secure Element of a Ledger device and signs transactions there rather than in the app, which means the app can run on a machine you do not fully trust. Moving, swapping or staking assets is therefore approved on the device each time.

You can buy crypto through the Ledger Wallet™ app with third-party service providers. The app compares the providers available to you so you can review rates and payment methods before choosing one, with options including bank card, bank transfer and Apple Pay depending on your country. The provider you select carries out the purchase, and the assets are delivered to an address secured by your Ledger device, so they arrive in your own self-custodial wallet instead of sitting in an exchange account. Available providers, assets and payment methods vary by region.

*Crypto transaction services are provided by third-party providers. Ledger provides no advice or recommendations on use of these third-party services.

Swap services are available through the Ledger Wallet™ app and are provided by third-party service providers. The app compares quotes from 50+ providers across 100+ chains, covering both centralised and decentralised services, and shows the rate, the network fee and any service fee before you confirm. Cross-chain swaps are supported, so you can move between assets on different blockchains without a separate bridging tool. Every swap is signed on your Ledger device, and your assets stay in your own wallet throughout rather than being deposited with an exchange first.

*Crypto transaction services are provided by third-party providers. Ledger provides no advice or recommendations on use of these third-party services.

Staking is available through the Ledger Wallet™ app for assets including Ethereum and Solana, as well as selected stablecoins, with services provided by third-party service providers. You choose the validator or provider, your assets stay in your own self-custodial wallet, and each staking transaction is approved on your Ledger device. Reward rates, lock-up periods and unbonding times are set by each network and provider rather than by Ledger, and are shown before you confirm.

*Rewards are not guaranteed. Ledger does not provide any financial advice or recommendation. Crypto transaction services are provided by third-party providers.

The Ledger Wallet™ app is free to download and there is no subscription to use it. Transactions are approved on a Ledger device, which is bought separately. Fees apply to transactions carried out through third-party service providers in the app: buying, selling and swapping include a provider fee that varies by provider and payment method, and network fees, sometimes called gas, are set by each blockchain rather than by Ledger. Ledger does not charge a fee for staking, although validators and providers may take a commission from rewards. The total cost of any transaction is shown for you to review before you approve it on your device.

The difference is where private keys are stored and what has to approve a transaction. Software wallets such as MetaMask, Phantom and Trust Wallet store keys on your phone or computer, so the security of your assets depends on the security of that device and on what you approve in the browser. With the Ledger Wallet™ app, keys stay in the Secure Element of a Ledger hardware wallet and every transaction is signed on the device, with the details shown on its screen before you approve. The feature sets overlap: all of them let you hold multiple assets, connect to decentralised apps and access swap services. Many people use both, connecting MetaMask or Phantom to a Ledger device so the browser wallet handles the interface and the device handles the signing.

Yes. A Ledger device can be connected to many software wallets and browser extensions, including MetaMask and Phantom, so you keep the interface you already use while transactions are signed on the Ledger device. The Ledger Wallet™ app also connects directly to decentralised apps without a browser extension or middleware. In both setups your private keys stay on the device, and nothing executes until you approve it there.

The Ledger Wallet™ app supports 15,000+ coins and tokens across 100+ blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and major stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, plus NFTs on supported networks. The list of which assets can be bought, swapped or staked is narrower than the list you can hold and manage, because it depends on the third-party service providers available in your region. The current list is maintained on the supported crypto assets page.
