Whether you're a seasoned cryptocurrency investor managing a diverse portfolio or just beginning your journey into digital assets, Ledger Live Desktop offers the perfect balance of security and accessibility. The application supports thousands of cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchain networks, allowing you to consolidate your entire portfolio into one secure location.
Beyond basic account management, Ledger Live Desktop provides advanced features including real-time market data, portfolio analytics, integrated buying and selling services, staking opportunities, and direct access to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Every feature is designed with your security in mind, ensuring that your private keys remain safely stored on your hardware device while you enjoy full functionality.
Advanced Security Architecture
At the core of Ledger Live Desktop's design is an unwavering commitment to security. The application employs multiple layers of protection to ensure your assets remain safe at all times. Your private keys are generated and stored exclusively on your Ledger hardware wallet's secure element chip, a certified component that meets the highest security standards used in credit cards and passports.
Every transaction you initiate through Ledger Live Desktop must be physically verified and confirmed on your Ledger device. This means that even if your computer is compromised, attackers cannot access your funds without physical possession of your hardware wallet and knowledge of your PIN code. The application communicates with your device using encrypted channels, preventing any interception or manipulation of transaction data.
Ledger Live Desktop is completely open-source, allowing the global security community to review and audit the code continuously. Regular security updates are automatically delivered to ensure you're always protected against the latest threats. The application also includes built-in phishing protection, malicious contract detection, and clear signing features that help you understand exactly what you're approving before confirming any transaction.
Your privacy is equally important as your security. Ledger Live Desktop operates without requiring you to create an account or provide personal information. Your portfolio data is stored locally on your computer, and you have complete control over what information, if any, you choose to share. The application connects directly to blockchain networks, ensuring your financial activities remain private and decentralized.

Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is designed with security as the top priority. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring maximum security. The application is open-source, regularly audited, and uses end-to-end encryption. All transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, providing an additional layer of security against unauthorized access.
Ledger Live Desktop supports over 5,500 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens, as well as many other blockchain networks. The list is constantly expanding as new assets are added regularly. You can manage multiple accounts across different blockchains all in one convenient interface.
While you can download and explore the Ledger Live Desktop interface, you'll need a Ledger hardware wallet (such as Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or Nano S Plus) to actually manage and secure your cryptocurrencies. The hardware wallet is essential as it stores your private keys in a secure element chip, protecting them from online threats.
Ledger Live Desktop automatically checks for updates when you launch the application. When a new version is available, you'll receive a notification with the option to update. We recommend always keeping your software up to date to benefit from the latest security patches, new features, and supported cryptocurrencies. The update process is simple and typically takes just a few minutes.
If you forget your PIN after three incorrect attempts, your Ledger device will reset. However, your funds are never lost. As long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore your accounts on a new Ledger device or any compatible wallet. This is why it's crucial to keep your recovery phrase safe and never share it with anyone. Store it in a secure physical location, preferably in multiple safe places.
