About Ledger Live Desktop
Ledger Live Desktop is the secure gateway to managing your cryptocurrencies with confidence. Built for both newcomers and seasoned investors, Ledger Live Desktop brings a smart, intuitive interface together with hardware-backed security so you can buy, send, receive, stake, swap and track hundreds of crypto assets from one powerful app.
Security-first architecture
When you pair the desktop app with a Ledger hardware wallet, your private keys never leave the device. Transactions are approved on the hardware wallet itself, adding an essential layer of protection against malware and remote attacks. Transaction verification occurs on-device so you always confirm addresses and amounts in your hands.
Fast, friendly experience
A clean dashboard shows your portfolio balance, recent activity, and performance charts at a glance. Easy setup wizards guide you through initializing your device and restoring accounts when needed. Built-in tutorials and context-sensitive help make learning simple.
Features that scale

Support & learning
Interactive tours, help articles, and recovery guides are embedded in the app. For troubleshooting, users can reach the support portal or community forums for guided help.
