Ledger Live Desktop – Secure Crypto Management from Your Computer

Managing cryptocurrency securely requires trusted tools. Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application from Ledger, built to give users complete control over their crypto assets. Paired with the Ledger Hardware Wallet, this powerful desktop software ensures your digital assets remain safe while allowing you to manage, stake, swap, and monitor your portfolio—all from the comfort of your computer.

Whether you're new to crypto or a seasoned investor, Ledger Live Desktop provides an intuitive and secure environment to handle all your crypto needs.

What Is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is a downloadable application that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is the bridge between your Ledger Hardware Wallet (like Ledger Nano X or S Plus) and the blockchain network. Unlike web wallets, your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, and every transaction must be physically confirmed—making Ledger Live Desktop one of the safest ways to manage crypto.

You can download it directly from the official Ledger.com/start page and set it up in minutes.

Why Choose Ledger Live Desktop?

With Ledger Live Desktop, you’re in full control. Unlike browser wallets or exchanges, your private keys are stored offline on your Ledger Hardware Wallet. The app simply provides a secure interface to manage your assets. This drastically reduces the risks of phishing, hacks, or malware.

Additionally, the desktop version provides faster performance and a more robust interface compared to the mobile version—ideal for users who manage a larger portfolio or stake regularly.

Ledger Live Staking from Desktop

Crypto staking is a great way to earn passive income from your holdings. Ledger Live Desktop supports staking for several major cryptocurrencies, such as:

Staking directly from your Ledger Live Desktop app ensures your private keys remain protected at all times. You remain in control while your coins work for you.

Ledger Live Desktop vs. Mobile

While Ledger Live is also available on mobile, the desktop version offers enhanced performance, larger display usability, and advanced features suited for managing larger portfolios. For users who value robust controls and want to stake, swap, and analyze crypto in detail, Ledger Live Desktop is the ideal choice.
