Ledger Live Desktop – Your Secure Crypto Control Center
Manage Your Digital Assets Safely from Your Desktop
Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application from Ledger that gives you complete control over your crypto portfolio. Designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets, it offers a secure environment to buy, sell, send, receive, and stake a wide range of digital assets.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the Ledger Live Desktop app allows users to manage thousands of cryptocurrencies with the added security of hardware-based private key storage.
What Is Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop is a downloadable software that works alongside your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax wallet. It enables secure interaction with blockchain networks while keeping your private keys offline on your Ledger device.
Through Ledger Live, users can:
- Monitor their crypto portfolio in real time
- Manage over 5,500 digital assets
- Install blockchain apps
- Conduct transactions with hardware verification
- Access staking, token swaps, and buy/sell features from trusted third parties
How Ledger Live Desktop Works
Unlike browser wallets or online platforms, Ledger Live Desktop connects directly to your Ledger hardware wallet. All sensitive operations — such as signing transactions or approving transfers — require physical confirmation on your device. This keeps your private keys isolated from the internet and safe from online threats.
