Ledger Live Desktop®

Manage Your Crypto™ Assets Safely and Securely

What is Ledger Live Desktop®?

Ledger Live Desktop® is the official desktop application from Ledger — built to help you manage, track, and secure your digital assets with ease. Paired with your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano X or Nano S Plus), it creates a secure environment to interact with the blockchain while keeping your private keys offline.

Whether you're a beginner exploring Bitcoin or an advanced DeFi investor, Ledger Live Desktop® gives you the tools to buy, sell, swap, and stake your crypto, all in one place. And unlike centralized platforms, you stay in full control of your assets.
