Ledger Live Desktop — control your crypto with confidence
Ledger Live Desktop pairs hardware-backed security with an approachable interface so you can manage coins, tokens, and NFTs without friction. Built for collectors, long-term holders, and active users, it brings portfolio visibility, staking, swaps, and secure transactions together in one app.
Ledger Live Desktop is the desktop companion app for Ledger hardware wallets. Rather than keeping keys online, your private keys remain on a Ledger device while the desktop app does the heavy lifting: portfolio aggregation, transaction creation, and network interactions. That split — local signing + desktop convenience — delivers a pragmatic balance between usability and strong security.
- Hardware-backed signing: all critical operations require physical confirmation on your Ledger device.
- Multi-asset support: manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins and supported tokens in one unified portfolio.
- Staking & Earn: stake compatible assets directly from the app to earn rewards while retaining custody control.
- Swap integrations: built-in swaps let you exchange assets without moving keys off-device.
- NFT viewing: browse, inspect, and manage NFTs tied to your addresses.
Power users appreciate the multi-account and advanced transaction options, while newcomers benefit from clear onboarding flows and safety checks that make risky mistakes harder to make. Regular firmware and app updates continually expand coin support and security protections — the desktop experience acts as a living control center for your on-device keys.
Whether you’re reconciling portfolio performance, receiving funds, or sending a high-value transfer, Ledger Live Desktop centralizes essential tools while ensuring the device in your hand remains the only place your seed is used. It’s not about removing complexity — it’s about making secure crypto management straightforward.
