With over 7 million customers trusting Ledger's security solutions, Ledger Live Desktop stands as the premier application for interacting with your digital assets while keeping them protected by industry-leading hardware security.

Why Choose Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to give you complete control over your crypto assets while maintaining the highest security standards.

Additionally, the application never stores your recovery phrase or private keys on your computer – these remain exclusively on your hardware wallet.

For advanced users, Ledger Live Desktop offers developer tools and experimental features that allow interaction with various blockchain networks and decentralized applications. The application's modular architecture means that new cryptocurrencies and features can be added through regular updates, ensuring that your Ledger ecosystem remains current with the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
