Ledger Live Desktop is designed to integrate perfectly with Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X devices. When the hardware wallet is connected to your computer, Ledger Live validates all transactions using the secure element chip inside the device.
The main role of the desktop app is to act as a visual interface for interacting with your assets. However, it never exposes private keys, seed phrases, or sensitive wallet data. All critical security processes occur inside the hardware wallet, ensuring top-tier protection.
This combination of offline private key storage and an easy-to-use desktop interface offers one of the safest methods for managing digital currencies.
Because transactions require physical confirmation on your Ledger device, it becomes nearly impossible for hackers or malware to initiate unauthorized transfers. Your private keys remain protected from online threats.
