What Is Ledger Live Desktop®™?

Ledger Live Desktop®™ is a cross‑platform (Windows, macOS & Linux) desktop app that lets you manage your entire cryptocurrency portfolio while keeping private keys offline and safe in your Ledger hardware wallet. It’s the trusted control center between you and your crypto — with bank‑level security and real‑time tools for tracking, trading, staking, and more.

🛡️ Why Ledger Live Desktop® Is Trusted Worldwide

✔ Secure Asset Control — Your Keys Stay Offline
With Ledger Live Desktop®, your private keys never leave the secure element on your Ledger hardware wallet. All transaction signing happens on the device itself, and Ledger Live Desktop® only composes unsigned transactions to send to the blockchain. This means even if your computer is compromised, your assets are not.

✔ Physical Confirmation Required
Every transaction — from sending crypto to staking rewards — must be confirmed directly on your hardware device’s screen. This protects you from malware, phishing attacks, and remote exploits.

✔ Open‑Source Transparency
Ledger Live Desktop® includes components that are regularly audited by the community, enhancing trust and improving security over time.

📊 All‑In‑One Crypto Management Features

3. Buy • Sell • Swap
Within Ledger Live Desktop®, you can buy crypto with a bank transfer or card, sell it, or swap between assets instantly using trusted partner platforms — all without leaving the app.

4. Staking & Passive Income Opportunities
Support for staking lets you earn rewards from networks such as ETH, SOL, DOT, XTZ, and others — all while locking your keys away safely on your device.

5. NFT & Web3 Integration
