Everything you need to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio securely and efficiently
Manage your crypto assets with bank-level security. Ledger Live Desktop connects seamlessly with your Ledger hardware wallet to provide complete control over your digital assets.
Monitor your entire crypto portfolio in real-time with live price updates, detailed charts, and comprehensive analytics to make informed investment decisions.
Your private keys never leave your hardware wallet. Ledger Live Desktop ensures complete isolation between your keys and the internet, preventing unauthorized access.

Your security is our top priority
Ledger Live Desktop works exclusively with Ledger hardware wallets, ensuring your private keys remain completely offline. This hardware-based security model provides protection against malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access attempts. Your crypto assets are shielded by a secure element chip—the same technology used in credit cards and passports—making it virtually impossible for hackers to extract your private keys.
Every transaction must be physically verified on your Ledger device before execution. This means even if your computer is compromised, attackers cannot steal your funds without physical access to your hardware wallet. The clear display on your device shows transaction details, allowing you to confirm recipient addresses and amounts before approving any transfer.
Ledger continuously improves security through regular firmware and software updates. These updates address emerging threats, patch vulnerabilities, and implement new security features. The Ledger Live Desktop application automatically notifies you of available updates, ensuring your setup remains protected with the latest security enhancements.
