Explore **Digital Asset Security**Mandatory companion for your **Hardware Wallet** experience.
The dedicated **Ledger Live Desktop** application offers a level of performance, clarity, and stability unmatched by web-based interfaces. For serious investors, a robust desktop environment is crucial for maintaining **Investment Security** and performing complex analyses of your **Cryptocurrency Portfolio**. The larger screen real estate allows for detailed portfolio charting and simultaneous execution of **Secure Transactions** without clutter.
Furthermore, using **Ledger Live Desktop** ensures the most reliable connection to your **Hardware Wallet**, whether it’s the **Ledger Nano X** connected via USB-C or the **Ledger Nano S Plus**. A stable USB connection is essential for critical operations like signing transactions, applying **Firmware Updates**, and managing apps using the built-in **Blockchain Manager**. This stability translates directly to enhanced **Digital Asset Security**, minimizing the risk of communication errors that could disrupt the process of securing your assets. Every feature within this **Secure Crypto Management App** is engineered for the desktop environment to give you ultimate control.
This focus on desktop integrity solidifies Ledger Live's commitment to **Non-Custodial** security, ensuring that the critical "sign-on-device" procedure is executed flawlessly every time.
The fundamental principle of **Ledger Live Desktop** is that it is entirely **Non-Custodial**. This means that at no point does Ledger, or the **Secure Crypto Management App** itself, have access to your private keys or your 24-word recovery phrase. Your keys are protected by the physical security of the **Hardware Wallet** (the **Ledger Nano X** or **Ledger Nano S Plus**), isolated within a certified Secure Element chip, similar to those used in passports and credit cards.
When you use **Ledger Live Desktop** to send assets, the application only prepares the transaction. It is your **Hardware Wallet** that performs the critical, irreversible function of signing the transaction using the isolated private keys. This process, known as "signing offline," is the gold standard for **Digital Asset Security**. Even if your PC or Mac running **Ledger Live Desktop** were infected with highly sophisticated malware, your funds would remain untouchable because the malicious actor could never extract the keys needed to authorize a transfer.
The true genius of the **Ledger Live Desktop** ecosystem lies in the verification step for **Secure Transactions**. Before signing, the **Hardware Wallet** displays the critical transaction details—the recipient address and the amount—on its trusted, small screen. Since your computer cannot tamper with the information displayed on the physical device, you are guaranteed that what you see is what you sign.
This physical verification on the **Ledger Nano X** or **Ledger Nano S Plus** is your ultimate defense against phishing and address swapping scams. The **Secure Crypto Management App** facilitates this communication flow perfectly, but the final, most critical action—the confirmation—always rests with you, the user, via the unhackable screen of your device. This complete control is what defines superior **Investment Security** for your **Cryptocurrency Portfolio**.
Visualize the performance of your entire **Cryptocurrency Portfolio** with rich, desktop-optimized charts. Analyze trends, track gains and losses over custom time periods (1H, 24H, 1W, 1M, YTD, ALL), and view comprehensive metrics essential for **Investment Security** decisions. The **Ledger Live Desktop** environment provides the clarity needed for serious portfolio review, far surpassing the limitations of mobile screens.
Managing cryptocurrency taxes is simplified with **Ledger Live Desktop**. Easily export your complete transaction history in formats compatible with major crypto tax software providers.
