How Ledger Live Works

Your gateway to secure cryptocurrency management

Complete Portfolio Management

Ledger Live Desktop serves as your comprehensive cryptocurrency command center. Upon launching the application, you're greeted with a beautifully designed dashboard that displays your entire portfolio at a glance. The interface shows real-time market values for all your holdings, percentage changes over various time periods, and a detailed breakdown of your asset allocation.

The portfolio view goes beyond simple balance displays. You can track historical performance with interactive charts, view transaction history across all accounts, and analyze your portfolio's diversification. The application automatically categorizes your assets, making it easy to see how much you're holding in Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, DeFi tokens, and NFTs.

Secure Transaction Flow

Secure Transaction Processing

When you initiate a transaction in Ledger Live, whether sending Bitcoin to a friend or swapping Ethereum for another token, the application creates the transaction details on your computer. However, the critical step—signing the transaction with your private key—happens exclusively on your Ledger hardware wallet.

This two-step process ensures that even if your computer is compromised by malware, your private keys remain completely secure. You'll verify transaction details on your Ledger device's screen and physically approve it by pressing buttons on the device. Only then does the signed transaction return to Ledger Live for broadcasting to the blockchain network.

Integrated DeFi & Staking

Ledger Live transforms complex DeFi interactions into simple, secure experiences. The application includes built-in integrations with leading DeFi protocols and staking services. You can stake Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, and dozens of other Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrencies directly from the interface, earning rewards while maintaining full custody of your assets.

The swap feature, powered by multiple decentralized exchange aggregators, allows you to exchange cryptocurrencies at competitive rates without leaving the app. Ledger Live compares quotes from various providers and displays the best available rates, including all fees upfront. Advanced users can access lending protocols, liquidity pools, and yield farming opportunities through the "Discover" section, which hosts curated DeFi applications that integrate seamlessly with your Ledger device.
