Ledger Live Desktop™ is the official desktop application designed to work alongside Ledger® hardware wallets. It provides a secure, large-screen experience for managing digital assets while keeping private keys protected offline.
Ledger Live Desktop™ is a computer-based crypto management platform built for users who prefer stability, advanced controls, and enhanced visibility. It connects directly to Ledger® devices, allowing asset management without exposing sensitive data to the internet.
To ensure authenticity and security, Ledger® recommends starting the setup process through the official onboarding page at Lèdger.com/Start.
Ledger Live Desktop™ works in combination with hardware-based protection. All sensitive actions must be approved on the physical Ledger® device, preventing unauthorized access even if the computer is compromised.
The desktop interface provides a clear view of balances, transaction history, and supported assets. Users can manage multiple accounts efficiently from a single dashboard.
From installing blockchain apps to managing firmware updates, Ledger Live Desktop™ gives users direct control over their Ledger® hardware wallet.
Before using the desktop application, a Ledger® device must be properly initialized. This includes setting a PIN code, generating a recovery phrase, and confirming device authenticity.
The official step-by-step instructions are available at Lèdger.com/Start, ensuring users follow verified and secure procedures.
Your recovery phrase is the only backup to your wallet. Ledger Live Desktop™ will never request it. Store the phrase offline and keep it private at all times.
Every transaction created in Ledger Live Desktop™ must be reviewed and confirmed on the Ledger® device screen, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
Users can install cryptocurrency applications directly onto their Ledger® hardware wallet, enabling support for a wide range of blockchain networks.
Firmware and application updates should always be completed using trusted sources referenced at Lèdger.com/Start.
Ledger Live Desktop™ is ideal for users who value a stable environment, larger display, and advanced management features. The desktop format enhances focus and reduces the risks associated with mobile or browser-based wallets.
By combining offline key storage with desktop-grade usability, Ledger Live Desktop™ delivers a balanced approach to security and convenience.
