Ledger Live™ Desktop App – Hardware‑Backed Security ®

Ledger Live Desktop®: Your Ultimate Command Center for Crypto Security

In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, security and simplicity must go hand-in-hand. You’ve secured your assets with the gold standard in hardware wallets—the Ledger Nano. But how do you manage, grow, and interact with your portfolio seamlessly? Enter Ledger Live Desktop®, the powerful, all-in-one companion application designed to be your mission control for the blockchain.

Forget juggling multiple exchanges and confusing blockchain explorers. Ledger Live Desktop brings everything together in a secure, intuitive interface directly on your computer. It’s the trusted bridge between your offline Ledger device and the dynamic digital ecosystem.

Why Ledger Live Desktop® is a Non-Negotiable for Crypto Holders

At its core, Ledger Live is more than just a balance checker. It’s an integrated platform built on the uncompromising security principles that made Ledger the global leader. With over 6 million devices sold, Ledger’s® technology is proven.

Here’s what sets the desktop application apart:
  • Unmatched Security Integration: Every transaction must be physically verified and approved on your Ledger Nano device. Your private keys never leave the secure chip, meaning even if your computer were compromised, your assets remain safe. This is the true meaning of self-custody™.
  • A Unified Portfolio Dashboard: View your entire, multi-asset portfolio in real-time. Track the performance of your Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, and 5,500+ other coins and tokens across accounts—all in one clean, comprehensive view.
  • Seamless & Secure Transactions: Send, receive, buy, sell, and even swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app. The integrated Ledger Live Swap™ service (powered by leading partners) lets you exchange assets without ever sending your funds to an insecure exchange hot wallet.
  • Effortless Staking & Earning: Put your idle assets to work! Ledger Live Desktop provides easy access to staking services for protocols like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and more. Earn rewards while your crypto remains secured by your Ledger hardware.
  • Regular Updates & Expansions: The Ledger team constantly rolls out new features, coin integrations, and partner services. When you use Ledger Live, you’re always at the forefront of secure crypto management.

Desktop vs. Mobile: The Power User’s Choice

While the Ledger Live Mobile app is fantastic for on-the-go checks, the Desktop version is the powerhouse. It’s ideal for:
  • Managing large portfolios with a broader, more detailed view.
  • Executing complex operations like multi-account management and advanced staking.
  • Enjoying a larger screen experience for analyzing charts and transaction histories.
The two sync seamlessly, giving you a fluid experience across all devices, anchored by the same ironclad security.
