Unlike traditional software wallets that store private keys on potentially vulnerable devices, Ledger Live Desktop operates on a fundamentally different security model.

The software's architecture ensures optimal performance while maintaining the highest security standards. Regular updates introduce support for new cryptocurrencies, enhanced features, and security improvements, making Ledger Live Desktop the most trusted solution for serious cryptocurrency management.
Security represents the cornerstone of Ledger Live Desktop's design philosophy. The application employs a unique security model that separates transaction signing from network connectivity, ensuring your private keys never touch potentially compromised computer systems.
When you initiate cryptocurrency transactions through Ledger Live Desktop, the transaction data is securely transmitted to your connected Ledger hardware wallet. The secure element chip within your Ledger device processes this information in complete isolation, signs the transaction using your private keys, and returns only the signed transaction data to the desktop application for broadcast to the blockchain network.
This revolutionary approach means that even if your computer becomes compromised by malware or other security threats, your cryptocurrency remains completely secure. The physical confirmation requirement on your Ledger device provides an additional security layer that prevents unauthorized transactions, making Ledger Live Desktop significantly more secure than software-only cryptocurrency wallets.
Ledger Live Desktop supports an extensive range of digital assets, making it the most comprehensive cryptocurrency management solution available. The application provides native support for major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and thousands of ERC-20 and other blockchain-based tokens.
The development team continuously expands cryptocurrency support based on community demand and technical feasibility. Regular application updates introduce support for newly launched blockchain networks and tokens, ensuring users always have access to the latest cryptocurrency innovations while maintaining the security standards that Ledger is renowned for.
