Ledger Live Desktop is the official application developed by Ledger to give users complete control over their digital assets. With a simple installation process and secure hardware integration, it ensures your private keys remain offline — safe inside your Ledger hardware wallet — while you perform transactions and manage your assets seamlessly on your computer.
Once you download and install Ledger Live, you can connect your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S device via USB or Bluetooth. The app automatically detects your device and guides you through setup, firmware updates, and security checks. Every transaction requires your physical confirmation, adding a layer of protection that keeps hackers out and your funds safe.
Inside the Ledger Live dashboard, you’ll find tools to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other crypto assets. You can easily track your portfolio’s value, install or remove blockchain apps, and perform swaps between supported currencies without leaving the app. The integration with Ledger’s partners enables you to buy and sell crypto directly from within Ledger Live, ensuring convenience without compromising on safety.
Ledger Live Desktop also supports staking for select assets, allowing you to earn rewards while keeping your funds secure in your hardware wallet. The app is open-source and regularly updated to introduce new features, performance improvements, and expanded asset support. With an elegant design and advanced encryption, Ledger Live offers both simplicity for beginners and flexibility for experienced users.
To get started, simply visit the official website, download Ledger Live Desktop for your operating system, and follow the on-screen setup guide. Whether you’re managing a small portfolio or significant holdings, Ledger Live puts you in full control of your financial sovereignty. Your crypto remains yours — securely managed, privately stored, and always protected by Ledger’s world-class security standards.
