About Ledger Live Desktop
Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application that connects your Ledger Nano X or S Plus hardware wallet with your computer. It’s designed to make managing cryptocurrencies simple, secure, and efficient. With an intuitive dashboard, Ledger Live allows you to buy, swap, and stake assets directly through the app — without ever compromising your private keys.

Step 3

Important Security Tips
Always download Ledger Live Desktop from the official website only. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase online. Your private keys remain within the hardware wallet — not the app — ensuring full ownership of your assets.

Buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies directly inside the app without third-party risk.

Connect your hardware wallet to update your portfolio automatically.
