🔐 What Is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is a downloadable application for Windows, macOS, and Linux users. It pairs with your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus to provide a secure environment for managing your digital assets.

Unlike hot wallets or browser-based wallets, Ledger Live Desktop ensures your private keys remain offline at all times—stored safely inside your Ledger hardware wallet. Every transaction must be manually verified on your device, protecting you from phishing, malware, and hacks.
