Ledger Live Desktop — Professional, Secure Wallet Management
Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application for managing cryptocurrency assets in a secure, professional environment. When used with a Ledger hardware device (Ledger Nano models), private keys remain protected offline while Ledger Live provides a clear, audited interface for transactions, portfolio monitoring and device management.
Security-first wallet for professionals
Designed for reliability, Ledger Live Desktop separates the signing of transactions (on your hardware device) from the software interface on your computer. This architecture reduces exposure to online threats and gives organisations and individual users confidence when handling high-value holdings.
Private keys never leave your Ledger device — transactions are signed locally on the hardware.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum and over 5,500 supported tokens from a single desktop app.
Ledger Live provides clear transaction history and device status to support audits and record-keeping.
Connect to staking and supported DeFi flows while keeping keys secure on-device.
Quick start — professional setup
To deploy Ledger Live Desktop in a secure workflow:
- Download Ledger Live Desktop from the official Ledger website and verify the release.
- Install on Windows, macOS, or Linux and open the application.
- Connect your Ledger hardware device and enter your PIN to unlock it.
- Add accounts inside Ledger Live and confirm transactions on the device.
Always ensure downloads are verified, maintain a secure backup of your recovery phrase offline, and restrict access to devices used for signing. Ledger Live Desktop is built to meet the needs of users who require both usability and institutional-grade security.
