Ledger Live Desktop is a desktop-based application available for Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. It acts as a bridge between your Ledger hardware wallet and the blockchain networks of the cryptocurrencies you hold. Unlike many hot wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices, Ledger Live works with hardware wallets, ensuring that sensitive cryptographic keys always remain offline.
This structure minimizes exposure to cyber threats, making Ledger Live Desktop a preferred choice for those who prioritize security without compromising usability.
