The gateway to your digital assets. Safely manage, exchange, and grow your crypto portfolio, all connected directly to your Ledger **Hardware Wallet**.
Ledger Live guarantees that your private keys always remain offline, secured within your physical Ledger device. This is the gold standard for **Secure Crypto Management**.
View and track your entire cryptocurrency **Portfolio** across all supported assets in real-time. Make informed decisions with transparent, detailed analytics.
Access innovative services like **Staking** and decentralized finance (DeFi) apps directly. Grow your assets effortlessly while maintaining full custody.
Ledger Live Desktop is far more than just a companion app; it is the comprehensive operating system for your digital life. Designed with a clear, intuitive user interface, it demystifies the complexities of the crypto world, making high-level **Crypto Management** accessible to everyone, from beginners to advanced users. Our commitment to security is foundational. Every transaction is verified on your physical Ledger **Hardware Wallet**, meaning no single piece of malware or phishing attack on your computer can compromise your funds. This separation of the secret (your private key) from the public interface (Ledger Live) is what makes the Ledger solution uniquely **Secure**.
Within the application, you can easily install and manage applications for over 50 different blockchain protocols. This allows you to hold a diverse and truly decentralized **Portfolio** of coins and tokens. The platform provides detailed, real-time charts and value tracking, enabling users to monitor performance across various timeframes and understand the true value of their holdings instantly. Furthermore, the integrated swap feature allows users to exchange one crypto asset for another securely without ever needing to move funds to a centralized exchange, drastically reducing counterparty risk. This emphasis on self-custody and integrated services defines the future of digital asset interaction.
For those looking to generate passive income, Ledger Live offers seamless integration for **Staking** many proof-of-stake assets, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot. The **Staking** process is non-custodial; your assets remain locked to your address, and only your Ledger device can authorize the delegation of tokens, maximizing both security and earnings potential. The easy-to-read interface shows your estimated rewards, history, and participation status, making it simple to participate in network security and earn rewards simultaneously.
The **DeFi** section of Ledger Live opens up the world of decentralized applications. While connecting your Ledger device to external DeFi platforms via WalletConnect remains a secure option, Ledger Live is continually integrating direct access to vetted services. This allows users to interact with lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, and yield farming strategies with the same high level of security offered by the **Hardware Wallet**. Interacting with **DeFi** protocols is essential for advanced users, but Ledger Live ensures that the complexity is managed, requiring explicit physical confirmation on the device for every approval and transaction, thus guarding against rogue smart contracts. This robust process ensures your **Crypto Management** is always in your hands.
In summary, Ledger Live Desktop offers a perfect blend of high-end, **Secure** infrastructure and user-friendly accessibility. It serves as the primary tool for hundreds of thousands of users worldwide, providing the confidence needed to navigate the crypto landscape effectively.
