Ledger Live Desktop: Take Control of Your Crypto with Confidence

Ledger Live Desktop is the trusted desktop application designed to work seamlessly with Lédger® hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. It empowers users to manage, buy, stake, and grow their cryptocurrency portfolios—right from a secure, user-friendly desktop interface.

You can start using it today by visiting the official setup page at Ledger.com/start.

Why Use Ledger Live Desktop?

The desktop version of Ledger Live offers enhanced security by working directly with your Lédger® device. This means your private keys never touch the internet, even when you’re actively managing your crypto assets. All sensitive transactions require physical approval through the hardware wallet, which eliminates most remote attack vectors.

  • Staking Support: Stake coins like ETH, Tezos (XTZ), and Polkadot (DOT) directly through the app to earn passive rewards.
  • Buy & Swap Crypto: Use trusted partners like MoonPay and Coinify to buy and trade assets within the app—always secured by your device.
  • Real-Time Tracking: Monitor market performance, view detailed charts, and analyze your portfolio value in real time.
