Your crypto, secure and simple

Ledger Live Desktop is a comprehensive cryptocurrency management application that connects with your Ledger hardware wallet. It provides a secure interface to manage your crypto portfolio, track performance, and access DeFi services while keeping your private keys safely stored on your hardware device. Unlike online wallets, your private keys never leave your Ledger device, ensuring maximum security.

Ledger Live Desktop supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), and thousands of ERC-20, BEP-20, and other token standards. New cryptocurrencies are regularly added through app updates. You can also manage NFTs and access various DeFi protocols directly through the application.

Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is compatible with all current Ledger hardware wallets including Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax. It also maintains compatibility with the legacy Ledger Nano S. The application automatically detects your connected device and guides you through the setup process.

Ledger Live Desktop implements bank-grade security measures including end-to-end encryption, secure communication protocols, and multi-layer authentication. Your private keys remain on your Ledger hardware device and never touch your computer or the internet. The application is regularly audited by security experts and is open-source, allowing the community to verify its security.

While Ledger Live Desktop can be downloaded and explored without a hardware wallet, its primary functionality requires a Ledger device for security. You can view markets, explore supported cryptocurrencies, and access educational content, but managing cryptocurrencies requires a connected Ledger hardware wallet to ensure your private keys remain secure.

Ledger Live Desktop is available for Windows 10/11 (64-bit), macOS 10.14 or later, and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, Fedora 30+, Debian 10+). Minimum requirements include 4GB RAM, 500MB free disk space, and a USB port. For optimal performance, we recommend 8GB RAM and an SSD. The application requires an internet connection for syncing and accessing live market data.

Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees, monthly charges, or hidden costs. You only need a Ledger hardware wallet to get started. Some advanced features like staking or DeFi transactions may have network fees, but these are standard blockchain fees, not charges from Ledger.

Getting started is simple: 1) Download Ledger Live Desktop from the official Ledger website, 2) Install the application on your computer, 3) Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB, 4) Follow the guided setup process to initialize your device, and 5) Add cryptocurrency apps to your Ledger device.
