**Ledger Live** is designed for comprehensive management of your **digital assets**. It supports over 15,000 coins and tokens across dozens of blockchains, including major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), **ETH** (Ethereum), SOL, DOT, and all ERC-20 tokens. The "Manager" section allows you to easily install the necessary apps onto your **hardware wallet** to support these chains.
