How it works — simple & secure

Ledger Live Desktop is the interface. Your Ledger hardware wallet (for example, Ledger Nano) stores your recovery seed and private keys in a secure chip. When you send or sign a transaction, you review the transaction details on your device screen and physically confirm — so malware on your computer cannot silently change amounts or destinations.

  1. Download Ledger Live from the official site and install it on your desktop.
  2. Connect your Ledger device and open the Ledger Live app.
  3. Create or restore accounts — your keys remain on-device.
  4. Use the app to buy, swap, stake, or interact with Web3 apps — confirm actions on your Ledger device.
