Your official application to manage digital assets with Ledger hardware wallets.
Ledger Live Desktop is the official application provided by Ledger for managing cryptocurrencies securely from your desktop (Windows, macOS, or Linux). It allows users to buy, send, receive, stake, swap, and monitor crypto assets while keeping private keys protected within the Ledger hardware wallet.
Visit the official website Ledger.com/start and choose the Ledger Live Desktop version compatible with your operating system. Download the installer, launch it, and follow the setup instructions. After installation, connect your Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X to your computer using USB or Bluetooth (for Nano X users).

Ledger Live Desktop works with a hardware wallet, ensuring all transactions require physical approval on the device. Private keys never leave the hardware wallet, protecting your assets from malware, phishing, and remote attacks. Ledger uses Secure Element Chips (EAL5+) to safeguard sensitive data.
Unlike software wallets, Ledger Live Desktop combines convenience with offline security. It supports multi-currency portfolios, decentralized finance (DeFi), staking, and NFT management while giving users complete ownership and control of their private keys.
Ledger Live Desktop is an essential tool for anyone using a Ledger hardware wallet. It’s secure, easy to navigate, frequently updated, and designed to protect your digital wealth. Whether you're a trader or a long-term investor, Ledger Live ensures safe and seamless crypto management.
