The app provides a user-friendly interface while your private keys remain safely stored on your hardware device, ensuring maximum security for your digital assets.
Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges for using the application. However, when you perform transactions like buying, selling, or exchanging crypto, you'll pay standard network fees and service fees charged by our exchange partners. Ledger Live always displays these fees transparently before you confirm any transaction.

This includes major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens, BEP-20 tokens, and other network-specific tokens.

Ledger Live Desktop employs bank-grade security measures. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware device and are never exposed to your computer or the internet. The application uses end-to-end encryption for all communications, undergoes regular security audits by independent third parties, and supports password protection and biometric authentication. We follow security best practices and maintain transparency through our open-source components. Your assets remain under your complete control at all times.
While Ledger Live Desktop is designed to work optimally with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S) for maximum security, you can use certain features without one. However, we strongly recommend using a hardware wallet to ensure your private keys are stored securely offline. Hardware wallets protect you from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access, making them essential for serious cryptocurrency holders.
Buying cryptocurrency on Ledger Live is simple and secure. Click the 'Buy' button within the app, select the cryptocurrency you want to purchase, choose your payment method (credit/debit card or bank transfer), and select from our trusted exchange partners who offer competitive rates. Enter the amount you wish to buy, review the fees and exchange rate, then confirm your purchase. The cryptocurrency will be sent directly to your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring you maintain full control of your assets from the moment of purchase.
