Ledger Live Desktop is Ledger’s desktop wallet-management software for interacting with compatible Ledger hardware wallets. It provides an interface for managing supported crypto accounts, viewing portfolio information, checking transactions, and performing supported wallet operations.
Ledger Live Desktop is designed to work alongside a Ledger hardware wallet. The application displays account information and helps manage supported digital assets, while private keys remain protected by the connected hardware device.

Portfolio Tracking: Review balances and supported asset activity.
Send & Receive: Initiate supported cryptocurrency transactions.
Transaction History: Review previous wallet activity.
Hardware Wallet Integration: Connect and use a compatible Ledger device.
Security Confirmation: Verify sensitive operations directly on the physical device.

Never share your Ledger recovery phrase or PIN. Do not enter your recovery phrase into Ledger Live, a website, an email, or a support chat. Be cautious of unofficial applications and websites that imitate Ledger.
Before approving any transaction, verify the recipient address and transaction amount on your Ledger hardware wallet.
Ledger Live Desktop combines convenient desktop-based wallet management with the hardware security of a Ledger device.
