Getting Started with Ledger Live Desktop®
Ledger Live Desktop is the official app to securely manage your cryptocurrency. Designed for both beginners and advanced users, it provides a seamless experience for monitoring balances, sending and receiving coins, and tracking your portfolio. Ledger Live Desktop works in combination with Ledger hardware devices to ensure your private keys are never exposed to the internet.
To get started, download Ledger Live Desktop directly from the official Ledger website. Avoid third-party downloads to prevent phishing or malware risks. Once installed, connect your Ledger hardware wallet and follow the guided setup process.

Monitor your balances in real-time, receive payments securely, and send transactions safely using your hardware wallet’s offline signing feature. The desktop application also allows access to staking opportunities and portfolio analytics without compromising security.
