Overview

What is Ledger Live (Desktop)?

Ledger Live is the companion desktop application for managing assets with a Ledger hardware wallet. It centralizes portfolio views, sends and receives transactions, installs apps on your device, and lets you stake or swap supported coins through trusted partners. This page provides a concise, presentation-ready format—polished headings, color accents, and simplified language—so teams can brief newcomers or individuals can self-serve quickly.

Unified Dashboard

Track balances and historical performance across multiple accounts without juggling separate tools.

Secure by Design

Private keys stay on the hardware wallet. The app initiates requests; the device confirms with physical buttons.

Flexible Actions

Receive, send, swap, stake, and install coin apps in a few clicks with clear status indicators throughout.
