What is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is the official software application developed by Ledger that serves as the interface between your Ledger hardware wallet and the blockchain. This powerful desktop application allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, make transactions, and interact with decentralized applications while ensuring your private keys remain securely stored on your hardware device.

With Ledger Live Desktop, users can seamlessly check their portfolio balance, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and access a growing ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The application supports over 1,800 different crypto assets, making it one of the most comprehensive crypto management platforms available today.

Security is at the core of Ledger Live Desktop's design. Unlike software wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices, Ledger Live works in conjunction with your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring that your private keys never leave the secure element of your device. This significantly reduces the risk of hacking, phishing, and other cyber threats that commonly target cryptocurrency users.
