Why people choose Ledger Live Desktop®
View balances, historical performance, and allocation across supported networks. Track coins and tokens side‑by‑side, monitor fees, and keep an eye on market moves without juggling multiple tabs.
Transactions are reviewed and approved on your Ledger hardware device. Private keys never leave the secure element, dramatically reducing exposure to malware or phishing.
Access integrated providers for on‑ramps/off‑ramps and swapping between supported assets. Compare quotes, check network fees, and execute with device‑verified confirmation.
Participate in network security while earning rewards on eligible assets. The interface surfaces lock‑ups, validator details, and projected yields so you can make informed choices.
Visualize NFTs in a dedicated gallery and connect to dApps through secure signing. Human‑readable prompts help you validate what you’re approving before you tap confirm.
Every action leaves a trace you can audit: addresses, hashes, network confirmations, and fee breakdowns. Export activity for compliance or personal records with a couple of clicks.
Download the desktop application from the official source, install, and pair with your Ledger device. The onboarding flow helps you add accounts for the networks you use.
Scan supported networks to discover balances at your public addresses. Label accounts for clarity and group them by purpose—trading, savings, or staking.
When you send, stake, or sign, the device displays the essentials. Confirm only if details match your intent. The app records status and confirmations so you can follow along.
In fast‑moving markets, cohesive tooling matters. Ledger Live Desktop® removes context switching by uniting portfolio monitoring, transactions, staking, swaps, and NFT views under one roof. Combined with hardware‑enforced signing, it gives beginners a safer path into self‑custody and offers power users fine‑grained control over networks and fees.
Whether you manage a diversified set of long‑term positions or move frequently between ecosystems, the app’s clear prompts and device confirmations help cut through noise. Add watch‑only addresses to monitor holdings without connecting a device, then plug in when it’s time to act.
Create CSV exports for bookkeeping, portfolio analytics, or tax preparation. Filter by account, date range, and network to keep your records tidy and portable.
Understand how fees impact outcomes. The interface surfaces gas options and estimated confirmation speeds, helping you choose a good balance between cost and timeliness.
Write down your recovery phrase, store it in separate secure locations, and never type it into a computer or phone. If a device is lost, a new one can restore access with your phrase.
