Managing digital assets can be daunting—but Ledger Live Desktop brings all your cryptocurrency operations into one secure, easy-to-use application. Designed by Ledger SAS, this desktop app works together with Ledger hardware wallets (like Nano S, Nano X, etc.) to give you elite security and full control over your crypto holdings.
You can manage over 15,000 coins and tokens, including big names like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many ERC-20 assets. You no longer need multiple wallets—Ledger Live Desktop centralizes everything.
Your private keys never leave your Ledger device. Ledger Live Desktop is a non-custodial tool: it works with your hardware wallet to carry out transactions, while keeping your keys offline and safe.
With a unified dashboard you can monitor balances, transaction histories, price changes, and the performance of your assets across multiple accounts in real time.
Ledger Live Desktop gives access to services allowing you to buy or sell crypto through trusted providers, swap tokens securely, and participate in staking to earn rewards. All of this takes place through integrated partners in the app.
With the Ledger Sync feature, your Ledger Live Desktop app and Ledger Live Mobile stay synchronized: your account data, balances, and histories remain consistent across devices. Importantly, this sync is built with encryption so your private data remains secure and private.
