Ledger Live Desktop
Your Secure Gateway to the World of Crypto
What is Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop is the essential software companion for Ledger hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It's a secure and user-friendly platform that empowers you to manage your cryptocurrency assets with complete confidence, directly from your computer. Rather than being a wallet itself, Ledger Live acts as a secure interface, allowing you to view your portfolio, send and receive assets, and access various crypto services, all while your private keys remain safely offline, protected by your physical Ledger device. This crucial separation of software (Ledger Live) from the private keys (on the hardware wallet) is the foundation of its superior security model, protecting you from online threats like malware and phishing attacks.
Core Features for Crypto Management
Comprehensive Portfolio
Easily track your entire crypto portfolio in one place. Ledger Live provides a consolidated, real-time overview of your balances and their value, supporting over 5,500 different coins and tokens.
Send & Receive
Perform transactions with peace of mind. Every transaction you initiate must be physically verified on your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring no one can move your funds without your explicit approval.
Buy, Swap & Sell
Conveniently purchase new crypto with fiat currency, swap assets for one another, and sell your holdings—all within the secure confines of Ledger Live through integrated partners.
Earn Rewards
Put your assets to work by directly staking certain cryptocurrencies from your Ledger Live dashboard. This allows you to earn passive income while your funds remain under your control.
Uncompromising Security and Intuitive Design
Ledger Live Desktop is meticulously designed with security at its forefront. It serves as a verification tool, displaying transaction details on your computer screen before you physically sign them on your Ledger device. This "What You See Is What You Sign" (WYSIWYS) protocol prevents malicious parties from tampering with transaction data. Beyond its robust security, Ledger Live offers a clean, intuitive, and accessible user interface. From first-time users to crypto veterans, the application simplifies complex processes, making it easy to navigate your assets, manage apps on your Ledger device, and stay informed on the market. It is a comprehensive tool that bridges the gap between hardware-level security and software-level convenience, ensuring you have full command over your digital wealth without ever compromising its safety.
