Find answers to common questions about Ledger Live Desktop
Ledger Live Desktop is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It's a comprehensive software platform that allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, send and receive digital assets, and access blockchain services—all while keeping your private keys secured on your Ledger hardware device. The desktop application provides enhanced functionality and a larger workspace compared to the mobile version.
Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges. You only need a compatible Ledger hardware wallet (such as Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or Ledger Stax) to use the application. The only costs you'll encounter are standard blockchain network fees when sending transactions, which go to miners and validators, not to Ledger.
Ledger Live Desktop is available for Windows (Windows 10 and later), macOS (macOS 10.14 and later), and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, Fedora 32+). The application is regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest operating system versions. We recommend always using the latest version of Ledger Live for optimal security and access to new features.
Ledger Live Desktop is built with security as the top priority. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet and are never exposed to your computer or the internet. All transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, providing an additional layer of security against malware or remote attacks. The application uses end-to-end encryption and is regularly audited by independent security researchers.
No, Ledger Live Desktop requires a Ledger hardware wallet to function. This is a fundamental security feature—the hardware wallet stores your private keys in a secure chip that's isolated from your computer and the internet. While you can install Ledger Live without a device, you'll need to connect a Ledger hardware wallet to access most features and manage your cryptocurrency.
Ledger Live Desktop supports over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Litecoin (LTC), and thousands of ERC-20, BEP-20, and other tokens. The list of supported assets is constantly expanding with regular updates. You can check the complete list of supported cryptocurrencies on the Ledger website or within the Ledger Live application.
Ledger Live Desktop automatically checks for updates when you open the application. When a new version is available, you'll receive a notification prompting you to update. You can choose to update immediately or postpone it. We strongly recommend keeping Ledger Live updated to access the latest security patches, features, and cryptocurrency support. Updates are quick and preserve all your account settings.
Yes, you can manage multiple Ledger hardware wallets within a single Ledger Live Desktop installation. This is useful if you have separate devices for different purposes or want to manage crypto for family members. Each device will have its own set of accounts, and you can easily switch between them. However, remember that each device has its own unique recovery phrase that must be kept secure.
