Ledger Live Desktop runs on Windows 10 or later (64-bit), macOS 10.14 or later, and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 32+). You'll need at least 4GB of RAM, 500MB of free disk space, and a USB port to connect your Ledger hardware wallet. An internet connection is required for portfolio updates and transactions.
Ledger Live employs bank-level security measures including end-to-end encryption, secure element technology, and isolated key storage. Your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet and are never exposed to your computer or the internet. All transactions require physical confirmation on your device, protecting you against malware and remote attacks.
Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges for the software itself. However, you'll need a Ledger hardware wallet to use the application. Standard network fees apply when sending cryptocurrency, and exchange services within the app may have their own fee structures.
Ledger Live supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and thousands of ERC-20 and other tokens. The list is constantly expanding with regular updates. You can manage multiple accounts for each supported cryptocurrency and view your entire portfolio in one place.
Initial setup typically takes 5-10 minutes. This includes downloading the application, installing it on your computer, connecting your Ledger hardware wallet, and configuring your first accounts. If you're setting up a brand new Ledger device, add an additional 10-15 minutes for device initialization and recovery phrase backup.
