Ledger Live Desktop® | Secure Wallet Manager™
Ledger Live Desktop
Ledger Live Desktop is the official all-in-one application designed to manage, secure, and grow your crypto assets directly from your computer. Built by Ledger, this powerful desktop software works seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, allowing users to maintain full control of their private keys while enjoying a smooth and intuitive user experience. Whether you are a beginner entering the crypto world or an experienced investor managing a diverse portfolio, Ledger Live Desktop provides the tools you need in one secure environment.
At its core, Ledger Live Desktop acts as a bridge between your Ledger hardware wallet and the blockchain. Unlike online wallets or browser-based extensions, it never exposes your private keys to the internet. All sensitive operations, such as transaction approvals, are verified and signed on your physical Ledger device. This offline security model significantly reduces the risk of hacks, malware, and phishing attacks, making Ledger Live Desktop a trusted choice for long-term asset protection.
One of the biggest advantages of Ledger Live Desktop is its clean and user-friendly interface. From the dashboard, users can easily view real-time balances, track portfolio performance, and monitor price movements across multiple cryptocurrencies. The app supports a wide range of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of altcoins and tokens. This makes it simple to manage multiple accounts without switching between different wallets or platforms.
Ledger Live Desktop also enables users to buy, sell, swap, and stake supported cryptocurrencies directly within the app. Through integrated third-party services, you can purchase crypto using fiat currencies, exchange assets instantly, or earn passive income by staking coins like Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot. These features are designed to be secure and transparent, while still giving users complete control over their funds.
Another key feature of Ledger Live Desktop is its built-in app manager. Users can install, update, or remove individual crypto apps on their Ledger hardware wallet with just a few clicks. This ensures compatibility with the latest blockchain upgrades and allows you to customize your device based on the assets you hold. Regular firmware updates further enhance security and performance, keeping your wallet protected against emerging threats.
Compatibility is another strong point. Ledger Live Desktop is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible to users across different operating systems. The desktop version is especially popular among users who prefer larger screens, detailed portfolio views, and enhanced control compared to mobile apps.
In summary, Ledger Live Desktop is more than just a wallet interface—it is a complete crypto management solution. By combining top-tier security, broad asset support, and powerful features in a single desktop application, it empowers users to safely manage their digital wealth with confidence and ease.
