Overview
Ledger Live Desktop is a powerful, user-friendly application that connects to Ledger hardware wallets (Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, Stax) and lets you control your crypto without exposing private keys to the internet. Whether you're checking balances, sending a transaction, buying assets, or staking tokens — Ledger Live Desktop centralizes these actions in a secure, offline-first workflow.
1
Hardware-backed security
Your private keys never leave your Ledger device. All transaction approvals happen on-device for maximum protection.
2
Full portfolio & analytics
Real-time price updates, balance history, and performance charts help you track your holdings and make informed decisions.
3
Buy, sell & swap
Integrated partners let you buy or sell crypto directly inside the app. Swap across supported tokens quickly while keeping custody of your keys.
4
Staking & rewards
Stake supported assets to earn rewards, with clear estimates and a simple delegation flow.
How it works
Ledger Live Desktop pairs with your Ledger hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth (supported devices). Transactions are prepared in the app, then confirmed manually on your device so sensitive keys are never exposed to your computer or the web.
Who should use Ledger Live Desktop?
- Anyone who wants centralized portfolio visibility while retaining self-custody.
- Investors who need a secure environment to send, receive, or manage multiple assets.
