Ledger Live Desktop® is the official application designed by Ledger to help users securely manage, grow, and track their cryptocurrency assets across desktop and mobile environments. Built with security-first architecture and a user-friendly interface, Ledger Live acts as the central control hub for Ledger hardware wallets.
Ledger Live Desktop® is more than a portfolio tracker—it is a complete crypto management ecosystem. Whether you are new to digital assets or an experienced investor managing a diversified portfolio, Ledger Live Desktop provides a unified platform to interact with blockchains securely while keeping private keys offline.
The application connects seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, allowing users to send, receive, stake, swap, and monitor crypto assets without compromising security. With regular updates and support for hundreds of coins and tokens, Ledger Live Desktop continues to evolve alongside the blockchain industry.
The desktop version of Ledger Live is designed for users who prefer a large-screen, full-featured crypto management experience. It offers enhanced visibility into transaction histories, portfolio analytics, and advanced settings.
Ledger Live Desktop is ideal for long-term holders, traders, and professionals who value clarity, control, and security.
The mobile version mirrors the core functionality of Ledger Live Desktop while optimizing the experience for smartphones and tablets. It allows users to manage assets on the go without sacrificing safety.
This mirrored approach ensures consistency across platforms, giving users confidence and familiarity whether on desktop or mobile.
Ledger Live Desktop® stands out because it integrates essential crypto services into a single secure application. Users no longer need to rely on multiple third-party platforms to manage their assets.
The portfolio view provides a real-time snapshot of your crypto holdings, including asset allocation and historical performance. This feature helps users make informed decisions based on accurate data.
Ledger Live Desktop enables users to send and receive cryptocurrencies directly from their hardware wallet. Each transaction must be physically approved on the Ledger device, adding a crucial layer of protection.
Through integrated partners, users can buy, sell, and swap supported cryptocurrencies within the application. This seamless integration reduces exposure to phishing and malicious platforms.
Ledger Live Desktop supports staking for multiple assets, allowing users to earn rewards while maintaining custody of their private keys. The interface simplifies staking without hiding important technical details.
Security is the foundation of Ledger Live Desktop®. The application itself never stores private keys; instead, all sensitive cryptographic operations are handled by the Ledger hardware wallet.
The mobile version mirrors the same security principles as the desktop application. Even when connected via Bluetooth, private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
Ledger Live Desktop® supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and numerous altcoins and tokens. Continuous updates expand compatibility as new networks and standards emerge.
