Desktop interface
A dedicated desktop environment can make account and portfolio information easier to access from a computer.
Here’s what’s happening with your portfolio.
Balances across your accounts
A desktop interface for managing compatible digital assets.
Ledger Live Desktop is a software application that provides users with an interface for interacting with supported digital assets through compatible Ledger hardware wallets. Instead of relying entirely on a browser-based interface, users can access their portfolio and supported account information from a dedicated desktop environment.
One of the key ideas behind the Ledger ecosystem is the separation between the software interface and the hardware wallet. The hardware device is designed to keep sensitive cryptographic information protected while Ledger Live provides an interface for viewing accounts and initiating supported transactions.
Depending on the assets and services supported at a particular time, Ledger Live can provide features such as portfolio monitoring, account management, transaction functionality, and access to selected ecosystem services. Available functionality can change as software versions and supported networks evolve.
Ledger Live Desktop can therefore be viewed as a management interface that works together with compatible hardware security. Its purpose is to make supported digital-asset activities easier to understand and manage while keeping critical signing operations tied to the hardware wallet.
Explore some common capabilities of the desktop experience.
A dedicated desktop environment can make account and portfolio information easier to access from a computer.
Ledger Live works with compatible Ledger hardware wallets, providing an interface around hardware-based transaction authorization.
Supported accounts can be displayed in one place, helping users review balances and organize digital assets.
Supported transactions can be prepared through the application and reviewed before authorization on compatible hardware.
Good security practices remain essential.
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Legitimate support should not require you to provide your complete recovery phrase or private keys.
Carefully check transaction information on your hardware device before approving an operation.
Download software only from official sources, verify its authenticity when appropriate, and be cautious of unsolicited links or support messages.
A recovery phrase should never be entered into an ordinary website or shared with another person.
