Empower your digital assets with security, control, and clarity – all in one intuitive desktop platform.
Ledger Live Desktop is the flagship application from Ledger, designed to help users securely manage their cryptocurrency assets from the convenience of their computer. It acts as a control center for your digital portfolio, combining real-time tracking, hardware wallet integration, and easy access to decentralized finance features — all while prioritizing security and privacy.
Unlike web-based wallets that depend on cloud storage, Ledger Live runs locally on your desktop, ensuring private key management remains fully offline within your Ledger hardware device. Whether you're a casual investor or a professional trader, this app bridges simplicity with advanced protection, giving you confidence to explore the blockchain safely.
Ledger Live is built around the foundation of hardware-level security. Private keys never leave your Ledger device, meaning even if your computer is compromised, your crypto remains safe. The app only facilitates signed transactions through the secure element in your hardware wallet.
The built-in portfolio dashboard provides clear visibility over your holdings. You can track your balances, profit/loss, and asset distribution across multiple cryptocurrencies in real time. Ledger Live supports over 5,000 coins and tokens.
Ledger frequently enhances Ledger Live with new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Updates include better DeFi integrations, NFT support, and cross-chain compatibility, ensuring your app evolves with the crypto landscape.
You can buy, sell, or swap cryptocurrencies directly within Ledger Live via trusted partners. This eliminates the need to move your funds to third-party exchanges, reducing exposure to hacking risks.
Explore decentralized finance and NFT ecosystems securely. Ledger Live connects with DApps and NFT marketplaces through Ledger Connect, ensuring your private keys are never exposed online.
Manage multiple blockchain networks in one place. From Bitcoin to Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, Ledger Live simplifies multi-chain management without requiring multiple apps or wallets.
Ledger Live is not just software — it’s part of Ledger’s holistic security model. The platform works in tandem with your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, ensuring private keys remain stored in a secure hardware chip. Transactions are verified physically by the user, preventing phishing or malware from signing unauthorized transfers.
Additionally, all communication between Ledger Live and your hardware wallet is end-to-end encrypted. Ledger’s open-source architecture also allows independent developers to audit key parts of the code, further strengthening community trust.
Setting up Ledger Live Desktop is straightforward. Begin by downloading it from the official Ledger website. The software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Once installed, connect your Ledger device and follow the on-screen setup instructions.
After linking your device, you can add accounts for different cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live will synchronize blockchain data to show your balances and transaction history in one unified dashboard. You can then begin sending, receiving, or staking your assets securely.
Ledger continues to innovate, and Ledger Live Desktop is expected to expand its ecosystem further. Upcoming improvements include enhanced staking options, better cross-chain support, multi-device synchronization, and customizable dashboards tailored for both beginners and professionals.
As blockchain technology matures, Ledger’s goal is to make decentralized finance accessible to everyone — without compromising on safety. With an expanding list of supported assets and deeper DApp integration, Ledger Live is positioning itself as the go-to hub for managing the digital economy securely.
Ledger Live Desktop is more than a crypto wallet interface — it’s a comprehensive command center for your digital wealth. Its fusion of strong security, user-centric design, and growing feature set makes it one of the best tools for managing crypto assets in 2025 and beyond.
Whether you’re new to digital assets or a seasoned investor, Ledger Live provides the peace of mind you need to navigate the decentralized world confidently. It embodies what secure crypto management should look like: private, intuitive, and future-ready.
