Ledger Live Desktop is the essential companion to your Ledger hardware wallet. Manage over 5,500 coins and tokens, stake, swap, and connect to dApps—all from a single, intuitive interface. Say goodbye to fragmented management and welcome unified, impenetrable crypto security. This platform ensures that your private keys never leave your device, giving you cryptographic proof of safety with every transaction.
Why Ledger Live is Your Digital Vault
Unrivaled Security
Built from the ground up to operate seamlessly with your Ledger hardware wallet. Your private keys are stored in a certified Secure Element chip, meaning they are offline and isolated from your computer. Ledger Live simply acts as a secure, verified interface. All transactions are confirmed physically on your device, preventing remote hacks and malware from compromising your assets. This principle of "What you see is what you sign" is the foundation of digital asset safety. The app performs continuous integrity checks to ensure no malicious code is running, providing a robust line of defense that software wallets simply cannot match. This deep integration is the gold standard for crypto management.
All-in-One Management
Track, manage, and transact with your entire crypto portfolio across multiple chains—all within one unified dashboard. Stop juggling dozens of separate interfaces and browser extensions. Ledger Live supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Polkadot, Solana, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. The intuitive interface provides real-time portfolio valuation, detailed transaction history, and easy access to sending and receiving functions. Customizable reporting tools allow you to analyze performance, track growth, and understand market dynamics instantly, simplifying your tax preparation and investment strategy reviews.
Ecosystem Growth & Yield
Beyond holding assets, Ledger Live connects you to the thriving Web3 ecosystem. Easily stake your proof-of-stake assets (like ETH, DOT, ATOM) directly within the app to earn passive rewards. Access trusted partners for buying, selling, and swapping crypto securely. The Discovery section allows safe exploration of decentralized applications (dApps) without compromising your security. Every interaction is routed through the security layer of your hardware device, ensuring your keys remain untouched, even while you actively participate in DeFi and NFT markets. Your assets are productive, but always under your command.

The Ledger Difference
Security is Not an Option, It's the Architecture.
In the decentralized world, self-custody is paramount. Ledger Live enforces the highest security standards by requiring physical confirmation for every transfer, smart contract interaction, and dApp connection. This eliminates phishing, keyboard loggers, and supply chain attacks that plague hot wallets. We don't just manage your assets; we isolate them from the risks of the digital environment. The robust firmware validation process ensures that only genuine Ledger software runs on your hardware, protecting against manipulation at the chip level.
