Manage Your Crypto Portfolio with Unmatched Hardware Security on PC & Mac

What is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is a powerful cryptocurrency management application that integrates with Ledger hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, and Ledger Stax. Unlike web wallets or software-only solutions, Ledger Live Desktop requires physical confirmation on your device for all transactions, meaning your private keys are never exposed to external threats.

This desktop app works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing a robust and versatile interface for crypto enthusiasts and professionals alike. Track your portfolio value, interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, stake tokens for rewards, and discover a wide array of cryptocurrencies—all in one secure application.
