Ledger Live Desktop® is the official all-in-one software designed to give cryptocurrency users a powerful yet secure way to manage their digital assets. Built to integrate seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, it allows you to buy, sell, stake, swap, and track your crypto portfolio from your computer — with security as its foundation.
Ledger Live Desktop is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. The desktop version provides advanced functionality and enhanced visibility into your digital assets. It acts as a secure bridge between your Ledger device and the blockchain networks you interact with, all while keeping your private keys offline and protected from online threats.
The app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, making it accessible to all types of users. Whether you are a beginner learning to manage crypto or a professional investor with a diverse portfolio, Ledger Live Desktop provides everything needed in a single, secure interface.
To begin using Ledger Live Desktop, follow these steps:
After installation, Ledger Live Desktop automatically detects your hardware wallet and guides you through setup. You can import existing accounts or add new ones to start managing your crypto immediately.
With Ledger Live Desktop, you can add multiple cryptocurrency accounts to your portfolio. Each account corresponds to a specific blockchain network or asset type.
This structure helps organize your digital holdings, making it easy to view, monitor, and transact securely.
Every outgoing transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger device, ensuring complete protection against unauthorized access.
The Ledger Live Desktop dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your entire portfolio. You can track your asset distribution, monitor price changes, and view historical performance charts in real time. The app supports multiple fiat currencies for display and updates pricing data from reliable market sources.
With customizable filters and graphs, you can analyze your investments’ performance, check transaction history, and identify trends to make informed financial decisions.
Ledger Live Desktop allows users to stake cryptocurrencies directly from the app. Supported assets like Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), and Tezos (XTZ) can generate staking rewards, helping users grow their holdings securely while maintaining ownership of their funds.
Thanks to built-in partnerships, users can buy or swap cryptocurrencies using Ledger Live Desktop without exposing their private keys. The process is fast, easy, and fully integrated with Ledger’s hardware-based protection.
The app now supports NFT viewing and management on Ethereum and Polygon. You can view your NFT collection, check metadata, and send NFTs securely while verifying ownership on your Ledger device.
By connecting Ledger Live Desktop with Ledger’s browser extension, users can safely interact with decentralized finance applications — lending, borrowing, or providing liquidity — with the assurance that private keys remain protected.
