What Is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is the official companion software for Ledger’s hardware wallets — Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. Designed to run on Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms, it provides a centralized dashboard for securely managing your crypto assets, performing transactions, staking coins, and exploring Web3 apps.

Why Use Ledger Live?

In the crowded space of crypto wallets and portfolio trackers, Ledger Live sets itself apart with these key strengths:

1. Hardware-Secured Transactions

Ledger Live is tightly integrated with Ledger’s secure hardware wallets. That means every transaction, swap, or app interaction must be physically verified using your device — keeping your private keys offline and immune to phishing or malware attacks.

2. All-in-One Dashboard

From Bitcoin to Ethereum to Solana and hundreds of other assets, Ledger Live gives you a single window to manage everything. You can send, receive, swap, buy, sell, and stake crypto — all in one place.

3. Self-Custody Made Simple

Your keys, your crypto. Ledger Live empowers users with full self-custody while still maintaining an intuitive user interface. No need to compromise usability for security — Ledger gives you both.

4. Secure Asset Discovery

Ledger Live offers a curated gateway into decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and Web3 applications — all backed by the safety of your Ledger device. You can explore dApps via integrations like WalletConnect, without ever exposing your keys online.
