Got questions about Ledger Live Desktop? We've got answers. Find everything you need to know about installation, security, and features.
Ledger Live Desktop is designed with security as the top priority. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet and never touch your computer or the internet. The desktop application only displays transaction data and account balances - all sensitive operations are performed on your Ledger device itself. Additionally, all communications between Ledger Live and your device are encrypted.
Ledger Live Desktop is compatible with all current Ledger hardware wallets including Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X, and Ledger Stax. It also supports legacy devices like the original Ledger Nano S (with latest firmware). The application automatically detects your device when connected and guides you through any necessary firmware updates.
Ledger Live Desktop supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. New assets are regularly added through firmware updates. You can also use third-party wallet integrations for additional cryptocurrency support while maintaining the security of your Ledger device.
Not at all! Installing Ledger Live Desktop is as simple as downloading any other application. The installer is under 200MB and the setup process is guided with clear instructions. Most users complete the entire setup, including device connection and account synchronization, in under 10 minutes. No technical knowledge is required.
Your recovery phrase (24 words) is your ultimate backup - it's generated on your Ledger device and can restore access to all your cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live Desktop settings and account names can be exported from the settings menu. However, your actual cryptocurrency funds are secured by your recovery phrase, not the application data.
Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. You only pay standard blockchain network fees when sending transactions (these go to miners/validators, not to Ledger). Some advanced features like crypto buying/selling through integrated exchanges may have fees, but these are clearly displayed before any transaction.
Our support team is here to help you get the most out of Ledger Live Desktop.
