Get answers to the most common questions about Ledger Live Desktop

Ledger Live Desktop is a comprehensive cryptocurrency management application that works best with Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano X, Nano S Plus). While some features can be accessed without a hardware wallet, the full security benefits require a Ledger device. The hardware wallet stores your private keys securely offline, while Ledger Live Desktop provides the interface to manage your portfolio, send/receive crypto, and access DeFi services.

Yes, Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs. You only pay standard network transaction fees when sending cryptocurrency, which go directly to the blockchain network, not to Ledger.
