Ledger Live Desktop preserves a security model built on self‑custody. Keys are generated and stay on the secure element of your Ledger hardware wallet.

Ledger Live also prompts firmware checks, encourages secure recovery phrase handling, and provides guidance to avoid phishing or fake installers.
Ledger Live Desktop is an ideal balance between usability and security. It delivers advanced portfolio tools, staking, and Web3 access while ensuring your private keys remain protected on your Ledger device. For desktop users seeking comprehensive crypto management without sacrificing safety, Ledger Live Desktop is an excellent choice.
