Official Ledger™ Live Desktop is a powerful, secure, and user-friendly desktop and web application designed to manage Ledger hardware wallets with confidence. As the official companion software developed by Ledger™, Ledger Live Desktop enables users to safely buy, sell, send, receive, stake, and manage cryptocurrencies while maintaining complete control over their private keys.
With rising concerns about digital asset security, Ledger Live Desktop stands out as a trusted platform that combines advanced security, intuitive design, and broad asset support. Whether you are a beginner entering the crypto space or an experienced investor managing a diversified portfolio, Ledger Live provides everything you need in one secure interface.
Ledger™ Live Desktop is the official software application used with Ledger hardware wallets such as Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax. The application acts as a bridge between your hardware wallet and the blockchain, allowing you to interact with digital assets without exposing your private keys to the internet.
Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a web app, Ledger Live ensures seamless access across platforms. The software provides a centralized dashboard where users can monitor balances, install apps, manage accounts, and access advanced crypto services securely.
Security is the foundation of Ledger™ Live Desktop. All private keys remain stored inside your Ledger hardware wallet’s Secure Element chip and never leave the device. Every transaction must be physically verified on the hardware wallet, protecting users from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.
Ledger Live Desktop ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your digital assets remain safe as long as your recovery phrase and hardware wallet are protected.
Ledger Live Desktop supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Litecoin (LTC), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. Users can manage multiple accounts from one interface without switching platforms.
Regular updates ensure that new assets and blockchain integrations are added, keeping Ledger Live future-ready and aligned with the evolving crypto ecosystem.
With Official Ledger™ Live Desktop, users can buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app using trusted third-party providers. The integrated staking feature allows users to earn passive income on supported assets such as Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and Tezos.
All transactions are executed securely with hardware wallet confirmation, ensuring full control and transparency at every step.
Ledger™ Live Desktop offers a robust experience optimized for performance and advanced asset management, while the Ledger Live Web App provides convenience for users who prefer browser-based access. Both versions maintain the same security standards and require a Ledger hardware wallet for transaction approvals.
Setting up Official Ledger™ Live Desktop is straightforward. Users can download the app, connect their Ledger hardware wallet, install the required crypto apps, and start managing assets within minutes. The clean dashboard design ensures that balances, transactions, and portfolio performance are easy to understand.
Built-in tutorials and prompts guide new users through setup, recovery phrase backup, and essential security best practices.
Ledger™ Live Desktop is designed with privacy at its core. Ledger does not have access to your funds, private keys, or recovery phrase. Users maintain full ownership and control of their crypto assets at all times.
Unlike custodial platforms, Ledger Live ensures that you remain your own bank, eliminating third-party risks and centralized points of failure.
As an official Ledger™ product, Ledger Live Desktop receives continuous updates to enhance functionality, security, and compatibility. These updates include new asset support, bug fixes, performance improvements, and security enhancements.
Users also gain access to Ledger’s official support resources, including knowledge bases, troubleshooting guides, and customer assistance.
Official Ledger™ Live Desktop is the ultimate solution for secure crypto management. With unmatched security, broad asset support, and seamless desktop and web access, Ledger Live empowers users to confidently manage their digital wealth.
