Ledger Live Desktop® — Control your crypto with clarity and confidence
A desktop-first experience that combines bulletproof security, beautiful data visualisation and the tools you need to manage, swap, stake and grow your crypto holdings — all in one place.
We designed Ledger Live with one principle: security without compromise. Your private keys never leave your hardware device — Ledger Live simply empowers you to manage what you own with tools that are approachable and precise.
Unified Portfolio at a glance
See value, allocation and performance across every account with clear visualisations and historical charts that explain your portfolio story.
Hardware-backed security
Your private keys remain on the Ledger hardware device. Approval prompts happen on-device, so even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain protected.
Swap & stake inside the app
Swap tokens, stake assets for rewards, and connect to DeFi apps — all via Ledger Live's secure integrations and transparent pricing flows.
Feature-rich. Human-first.
Ledger Live Desktop® is built for people who take their crypto seriously but still value calm, clear UX. From granular account controls to multi-currency support and non-custodial DeFi flows, the app is intentionally crafted for power and precision.
Secure by design
Cold storage integration with Ledger hardware devices keeps keys offline. Multi-layered verification with firmware attestation prevents tampering and fraud.
Portfolio analytics
Automatic pricing, historical charts, gain/loss breakdowns and exportable statements — all purpose-built for financial clarity.
Swap & Staking
Permissionless swaps with transparent fees, plus simple staking flows for major proof-of-stake networks — stake directly from your accounts.
"Ledger Live Desktop makes reconciling my positions painless. I can export reports, manage staking and keep private keys offline — elegant and reassuring."
Designed for people, protected by hardware
We believe security should be democratic: non-technical users and seasoned traders alike should enjoy the same strong guarantees. Ledger Live Desktop® delivers powerful settings under an approachable UI: recovery checks, transaction previews, allowlists, and dedicated support links help you act with confidence.
- Account-level privacy settings and address allowlists
- Detailed transaction previews with safe gas recommendations
- Exportable transaction history for accounting and tax workflows
Richer controls for power users
Ledger Live Desktop® includes advanced controls for users who want to fine-tune every interaction — custom fee controls, multiple accounts per currency, deep integration with hardware features (secure boot, firmware verification), and a developer mode that surfaces extra telemetry and logs without sharing private data.
The experience is layered: basic flows stay simple, while more advanced tools are discoverable and opt-in. This balance keeps the interface friendly while still supporting demanding workflows.
