Ledger Live Desktop® | Secure Your Crypto™ Assets®

All-in-one platform to manage, grow, and protect your digital assets with confidence.

What Is Ledger Live Desktop®?

Ledger Live Desktop® is a secure application developed by Ledger, designed to help you manage all your cryptocurrency assets in one place. It works seamlessly with your Ledger hardware wallet—Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax—providing a complete ecosystem for safe crypto management.

Unlike traditional online wallets, Ledger Live Desktop® connects directly with your hardware device, keeping your private keys offline and away from potential threats. You can buy, sell, swap, stake, and monitor your portfolio—all while maintaining the highest level of security in the industry.

Why Choose Ledger Live Desktop®?

The crypto space can be complex and risky. With Ledger Live Desktop®, you take control of your digital wealth while minimizing exposure to online vulnerabilities. Here’s why millions of users trust it:

Setting Up Ledger Live Desktop®

Getting started is simple and secure. Follow these steps to set up your Ledger Live Desktop® app:

  1. Download Ledger Live Desktop® from the official Ledger website.
  2. Install the application and launch it on your computer.
  3. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet using a USB cable or Bluetooth (for Ledger Nano X).
  4. Follow on-screen instructions to set up or import your device.
  5. Add accounts for your preferred cryptocurrencies.

Once connected, you can view your portfolio, send and receive assets, and perform secure transactions.

Security at the Core

Ledger Live Desktop® is built around the principle of cold storage security. Your private keys remain stored on your Ledger hardware wallet, never exposed to your computer or the internet. This drastically reduces the risk of hacking, phishing, and malware attacks.

Every transaction you perform must be confirmed physically on your device, ensuring that no unauthorized transfer can occur without your approval.

Manage Multiple Cryptocurrencies with Ease

With Ledger Live Desktop®, you can manage thousands of assets from a single dashboard. Supported cryptocurrencies include:

Ledger Live automatically detects and displays your supported assets. You can also add custom tokens for advanced portfolio management.

Buy, Sell, Swap, and Stake Directly in the App

Ledger Live Desktop® integrates trusted partners like MoonPay, Coinify, and Changelly, allowing you to buy or sell cryptocurrencies without leaving the app. You can also swap tokens across different blockchains seamlessly.

For those interested in earning passive income, staking options are available for assets like Ethereum, Tezos, Solana, and Polkadot. Rewards are automatically displayed in your account, making staking as easy as holding your coins.

Track Your Portfolio in Real Time

Ledger Live Desktop® provides an advanced portfolio overview that helps you monitor performance across multiple accounts and networks. Real-time charts, price updates, and historical data give you full transparency into your holdings and transactions.

Whether you’re a long-term investor or an active trader, the analytics and visual tools within Ledger Live help you stay informed and in control.

Stay Connected to Web3 and DeFi

With Ledger Live Desktop®, you can connect your wallet to Web3 applications through Ledger’s secure integrations. Access decentralized exchanges (DEXs), DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces—while your private keys remain safe on your Ledger device.

This bridges the convenience of DeFi with the unmatched security of hardware-based protection.

Ledger Live Mobile vs. Desktop

Ledger Live is available on both desktop and mobile platforms. The Desktop version offers deeper control, larger display, and advanced portfolio features—ideal for users who manage multiple assets or prefer working on a computer.

The Mobile version provides on-the-go access and Bluetooth connectivity with the Ledger Nano X. Both versions sync effortlessly, giving you flexibility to manage your assets anywhere.

Privacy and Data Protection

Ledger values privacy. Ledger Live Desktop® collects minimal information and never tracks your transaction history or balance. All sensitive data is stored locally on your device, and your hardware wallet ensures cryptographic security for every action.

You are always in full control—Ledger cannot access your funds or data.
