What is Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop is the official application developed by Ledger® for users who want to manage cryptocurrency directly from their computer. By connecting your Ledger hardware wallet to the desktop app, you gain a secure and reliable environment for storing, sending, and monitoring digital assets. Unlike web-based wallets, Ledger Live Desktop keeps private keys offline and under your control at all times.
Easy to Install and Use
Installing Ledger Live Desktop is straightforward. Download it from the official Ledger® website, connect your Ledger Nano device, and follow the on-screen guide. Once paired, you can add multiple accounts, manage portfolios, and organize your crypto in one dashboard. The app supports popular assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, and more, with updates regularly adding new networks and tokens.
Advanced Features
Beyond simple storage, Ledger Live Desktop integrates services that let you buy, sell, stake, or swap your crypto without leaving the secure app. Real-time price tracking, intuitive charts, and automatic updates provide a comprehensive investing experience. The platform also unlocks access to decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 apps while retaining hardware-level security.
Trust and Security
Ledger® has become synonymous with trusted crypto protection. The combination of Ledger Live Desktop with Ledger hardware wallets ensures that private keys are never exposed online. Every transaction is verified and signed from the device, meaning your crypto remains safe from hackers, breaches, or risky online platforms.
