Ledger Live Desktop® is the official software companion for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to give users complete control and visibility over their digital assets. It serves as a secure, unified interface to send, receive, buy, sell, and stake cryptocurrencies, all while maintaining the highest level of protection for private keys and funds. With Ledger Live Desktop, you can safely explore the world of crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi) from a single trusted application.
Ledger has built its reputation on providing state-of-the-art hardware wallets that keep digital currencies safe from hacks and unauthorized access. Ledger Live Desktop extends that same philosophy into the digital environment. The app connects seamlessly with your Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, ensuring that your private keys never leave your device — they remain offline, safe, and under your sole control.
The interface of Ledger Live Desktop is clean, modern, and intuitive. It allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands of tokens supported by the Ledger ecosystem. Real-time portfolio tracking gives you a clear overview of your holdings and market performance, empowering you to make informed investment decisions with confidence.
Security remains at the core of every Ledger product. Ledger Live Desktop communicates with your hardware wallet through a secure channel, validating every transaction you approve on your physical device. This design ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your funds cannot be stolen or accessed without physical confirmation on your Ledger wallet.
In addition to sending and receiving crypto, Ledger Live Desktop integrates key financial features such as staking and swapping. You can earn rewards by staking supported coins directly through the app, or exchange digital assets without transferring them to external services. Ledger partners with trusted providers to ensure safe and competitive transactions within its environment.
Privacy is a fundamental right for every crypto user. Ledger Live Desktop does not track or share your data. All portfolio information remains local to your device, giving you complete control and transparency. With open-source components and continuous audits, Ledger maintains a commitment to community trust and technological integrity.
Ledger Live Desktop is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring accessibility for every user. Setup is straightforward — simply install the software, connect your Ledger device, and follow the guided steps to synchronize your accounts. Within minutes, you’ll be able to view your portfolio, send funds, and explore advanced crypto tools all in one place.
Ledger Live Desktop’s educational resources and in-app guidance make it easy for beginners to understand crypto management while still offering advanced tools for experienced traders. The platform continues to evolve with new updates, improved features, and integrations with DeFi and Web3 services, ensuring users stay at the forefront of digital finance innovation.
