What Is Lédger® Live Desktop, and Why Does It Matter?

Lédger® Live Desktop is the official application that connects your Lédger® Nano X or Nano S Plus to your desktop or laptop. It offers a secure and intuitive interface to manage your digital assets with zero compromise.

Whether you're checking balances, sending tokens, staking, or buying crypto — it all happens under your control, not a third party’s.


Real User Wake-Up Call: “I Lost Funds on a Centralized Platform”

A user on X (formerly Twitter) posted:

“Held $12K on a popular exchange. Got locked out during a maintenance issue. Never again. Now I use my Lédger® Nano with Live Desktop. Peace of mind is everything.”

This is the reality for many users. Exchanges can go down, get hacked, or freeze assets. But with Lédger® Live Desktop, your crypto stays on your device, always accessible only to you.
