Ledger Live Desktop
The all-in-one secure app to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and 5,500+ crypto assets with your Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or Stax hardware wallet.
What is Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop is the official companion application developed by Ledger SAS for Windows, macOS, and Linux users. It transforms your computer into a powerful crypto command center when paired with a Ledger hardware wallet. All private keys remain offline inside your Nano device—Ledger Live never touches them—ensuring maximum security while you check balances, send/receive assets, stake, swap, or grow your portfolio.
