Ledger Live Desktop

Ledger Live Desktop is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, giving users a secure and powerful platform to manage their digital assets directly from their desktop. Designed to work seamlessly with Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X devices, it serves as the hub for crypto management, bridging the gap between hardware-level security and blockchain accessibility.

All-in-One Crypto Management

With Ledger Live Desktop, users can manage over 5,500 digital assets from a single interface. The application supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. Whether you are a casual holder or a serious investor, Ledger Live makes it easy to check balances, send and receive coins, and manage portfolios in one place. You can also track real-time market data and performance metrics, giving you a complete picture of your investments at a glance.

Built-In Security

Security is at the core of Ledger Live. Unlike browser-based or hot wallet solutions, Ledger Live never exposes your private keys online. Every action—be it sending funds or staking tokens—requires confirmation on your Ledger device. This keeps your sensitive credentials isolated from your computer and the internet, where phishing attacks and malware are common. Firmware integrity and cryptographic operations are verified continuously, making Ledger Live one of the safest ways to interact with the blockchain from a personal computer.

User-Friendly Interface

Despite its advanced security features, Ledger Live Desktop is remarkably easy to use. Its intuitive layout allows you to add new accounts, view transaction history, and organize your portfolio with minimal setup. Users can install and uninstall coin apps directly from the manager tab, and the integrated asset dashboard simplifies everyday tasks like swapping and staking. Even first-time users can follow the guided setup and get started in minutes, thanks to step-by-step tutorials and contextual tips built into the app.

Powerful Features

Ledger Live Desktop is more than just a wallet—it’s a full-featured crypto management suite. The app includes native support for buying, selling, swapping, and staking assets through trusted partners like MoonPay, Coinify, and Lido. Users can earn rewards by staking coins like Ethereum, Tezos, Polkadot, and more—all without leaving the app. NFT support for Ethereum and Polygon networks also enables users to view and manage their non-fungible tokens securely. As the crypto space grows, Ledger Live continues to evolve with regular updates that bring new features and asset support.

Cross-Platform Availability

Ledger Live Desktop is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, offering a consistent experience across different operating systems. The application can be synced with the Ledger Live Mobile app, allowing users to manage their crypto on the go without compromising security. Whether you're working from home, trading from your office, or checking balances while traveling, Ledger Live ensures you stay connected securely.

Continuous Updates and Support

Ledger is committed to continuous innovation. The Ledger Live team regularly releases software updates that introduce new features, enhance performance, and patch vulnerabilities. Update notifications are sent directly through the app, and installation is seamless. In addition, the Ledger support team and community forums provide extensive documentation, troubleshooting guides, and personalized assistance when needed.

Disclaimer

Ledger Live Desktop is a software application developed to complement Ledger hardware wallets. While it is designed with top-tier security principles, users must remain vigilant when handling their crypto assets. Ledger does not store or have access to your private keys or recovery phrase. These critical credentials remain offline on your hardware device. It is your responsibility to keep your recovery phrase safe and confidential. Never share it, enter it on any website, or store it digitally. Ledger cannot recover lost funds due to user negligence, phishing scams, or malware. Always verify transaction details on your hardware device and ensure that Ledger Live is downloaded from the official Ledger website to avoid counterfeit versions. Use caution, stay informed, and follow security best practices.
