Discover Ledger Live Desktop
Ledger Live Desktop, now part of Ledger's Ledger Wallet app offering, provides a central interface for managing supported cryptocurrencies and interacting with a compatible Ledger hardware wallet. The desktop application is designed to make portfolio monitoring and everyday account management more accessible from your computer.
Whether you are checking balances or reviewing account activity, the application helps organize important information in one place. Supported features and assets can vary depending on the network, account, and device.
One workspace, many accounts. See supported account information together, while remembering that each network has its own rules and requirements.
Monitor your digital portfolio
Keeping track of digital assets across different blockchain networks can become complicated. Ledger's desktop application brings supported accounts together in a portfolio view, helping users review balances and transaction histories.
Portfolio values may change with market prices and network activity. Displayed values are informational and should not be treated as guaranteed returns or investment advice.
Connect with a Ledger hardware wallet
The application works alongside compatible Ledger hardware wallets. Users can review account information and prepare supported transactions, then verify and approve transactions using their hardware device.
Always check the recipient address, asset, network, and transaction amount on your device before approval. Hardware-based verification helps protect transaction signing, but it does not remove every security risk.
Send, receive, and explore supported assets
Depending on the supported cryptocurrency and available services, users can send and receive assets, examine account activity, and explore additional portfolio features. Certain services, including buying, selling, swapping, or staking, may depend on location, provider availability, and asset eligibility.
Transfers are generally irreversible. Before transferring cryptocurrency, confirm that the destination supports the selected asset and network. Double-check every detail before signing.
