Ledger Live Desktop is the official app for your Ledger hardware wallet. Securely manage your coins, NFTs, and DeFi positions from a fast, privacy-preserving experience designed for long‑term self‑custody. Explore, swap, stake and grow your portfolio without ever surrendering control of your private keys.
Connect your hardware wallet with Ledger Live Desktop.
Send and receive coins, monitor balances across multiple accounts, and keep an eye on your portfolio performance in real time. Ledger Live Desktop routes transactions through your hardware wallet so you sign every operation on the secure screen of your device. No browser extensions, no copy‑pasting addresses, and no blind approvals – just clear, human‑readable summaries for every transfer.
No more second guessing.
Every transaction submitted from Ledger Live Desktop must be explicitly confirmed on your Ledger hardware wallet. The amount, address and fees are all shown on your device screen, giving you full clarity before you sign. Even if your computer is compromised, your private keys never leave your Ledger and attackers cannot spend your funds without your physical confirmation.
Set up within minutes.
Ledger Live Desktop walks you through every step, from initializing your device and writing down your recovery phrase to creating your first accounts and receiving your first transaction. The guided onboarding flow removes the jargon and focuses on what actually matters: understanding how self‑custody works and building secure habits that will last for years.
Set up hidden wallets, create passphrase‑protected accounts and combine them with clear on‑device verification to keep your long‑term holdings safe from phishing attempts, malware and snooping eyes.
