Secure. Streamlined. Sophisticated – Discover the future of crypto control.
Ledger® Live is your gateway to managing digital assets with complete control and military-grade security. Whether you’re just starting out or transitioning from mobile to desktop, this comprehensive guide will help you take full advantage of Ledger's powerful desktop interface.
Ledger® Live is a unified crypto management interface designed to work hand-in-glove with your Ledger® hardware wallet. It allows you to buy, sell, swap, stake, and monitor your crypto portfolio — all in one place. The desktop version offers enhanced functionality, deeper insights, and broader control than its mobile counterpart.
Visit the official Ledger website at www.ledger.com/ledger-live to download the desktop version. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, the application installs like any modern software package.
After installation, plug in your Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X via USB. The app will guide you through the authentication process. Ensure your device firmware is up to date for compatibility and security enhancements.
Ledger Live supports over 1,800 crypto assets. Use the “Accounts” tab to add coins like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and more. Every asset is paired with a secure path from your hardware wallet, ensuring non-custodial ownership.
Use the “Send” and “Receive” tabs to securely move assets. Each transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger device. This dual-verification protects you against phishing and unauthorized actions.
