FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Ledger Live Desktop

Ledger Live Desktop is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. It's a free, secure software that allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, buy and sell crypto, stake assets, access DeFi applications, and more. The desktop version offers a comprehensive interface for managing 5,500+ crypto assets with complete security, as your private keys remain safely stored on your Ledger hardware device.

Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges for using the software. However, please note that when you buy, sell, or exchange cryptocurrencies through integrated third-party services, those providers may charge their own fees. Network transaction fees (gas fees) also apply when sending crypto, which go to blockchain validators, not to Ledger.

Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including all major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and thousands of ERC-20, BEP-20, and other token standards. The list is constantly expanding as new cryptocurrencies are added regularly. You can check the complete list of supported assets within the Ledger Live application or on the official Ledger website.

While Ledger Live Desktop is designed to work seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets (Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X, and Stax) for maximum security, you can download and explore the application without a device. However, to send, receive, or manage cryptocurrencies, you'll need a Ledger hardware wallet. The hardware wallet stores your private keys offline, providing bank-grade security that software-only wallets cannot match.

Ledger Live is built with security as the top priority. When used with a Ledger hardware wallet, your private keys never leave the device and are never exposed to your computer or the internet. All transactions must be physically verified and approved on your Ledger device. The software uses end-to-end encryption, and Ledger has never been hacked. Additionally, the application is regularly audited by security experts and receives frequent updates to maintain the highest security standards.

Yes, Ledger Live supports staking for 15+ cryptocurrencies including Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), Tezos (XTZ), Cosmos (ATOM), Algorand (ALGO), and more. Staking allows you to earn passive rewards on your crypto holdings while maintaining full custody of your assets. The staking process is simple and secure - you can start staking directly from the Ledger Live interface, and your rewards are automatically added to your account. Your staked assets remain under your control at all times.
