Ledger Live Desktop®

Manage Your Crypto™ Assets Safely: The Gateway to Web3 Security

Presentation Overview: Security, Management, and Growth.

Foundation of Trust: The Ledger Security Model

Cold Storage Principle

Your **Private Keys** are generated and kept exclusively on your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring they are always **Offline**. This principle of **Cold Storage** completely isolates your critical ownership data from the risks of your connected computer.

Secure Element Chip (SE)

Ledger devices use a certified, tamper-resistant **Secure Element** chip (CC EAL5+/EAL6+). This dedicated chip protects your secrets against highly sophisticated physical attacks, making it the bedrock of Ledger's industry-leading security.

Non-Custodial Control

You maintain full, **Non-Custodial** control over your assets. Ledger Live is merely an interface; it never holds or controls your **Private Keys**. You are your own bank, secured by your device and the **24-Word Recovery Phrase**.

Ledger Live Desktop acts as the trusted viewer, allowing you to monitor and initiate transactions, but the signing action remains protected offline by the hardware device.

Ledger Live: All-in-One Management Center

Portfolio Dashboard

Monitor your entire **Portfolio** across multiple networks and accounts from a single, intuitive **Dashboard**. Track real-time balances and performance for over **5,500+ Assets** (coins and tokens).

Buy, Sell, and Swap Crypto

Seamlessly buy or sell crypto directly within the application using integrated third-party partners. Easily **Swap** between different cryptocurrencies securely, always confirming the transaction on your Ledger device.

Stake and Earn Rewards

Grow your **Assets** by utilizing the **Stake** feature to earn crypto rewards. Your keys remain secure, even while interacting with DeFi protocols, ensuring a secure path to earning.

PIN & Multi-Factor Security

Access requires a **PIN** on the device itself. Every transaction needs physical, **Multi-Factor Authentication** confirmation directly on the hardware wallet's screen, preventing remote attacks.

The **Ledger Live** interface ensures usability without compromising the security provided by the **Hardware Wallet**.

Protecting Your Future: Recovery and Updates

The Secret Recovery Phrase

The **24-Word Recovery Phrase** is your ultimate **Backup** and master key. It is generated offline and should *never* be digitized or shared. It allows you to restore your funds onto a new device if your Ledger is lost or damaged. Treat this phrase like high-value gold.

Firmware Sync & Updates

Regular **Firmware Sync** through Ledger Live is crucial for maintaining security and compatibility. The application also manages token installation and updates, making sure your hardware wallet remains protected against the latest vulnerabilities and supports new **Crypto Assets**.

Secure management is ongoing. Never enter your **Recovery Phrase** into any digital device or share it with anyone, including Ledger support.

Conclusion: Total Financial Freedom

Ledger Live Desktop is the secure, intuitive bridge between the protected **Cold Storage** of your hardware wallet and the dynamic world of Web3. It provides the **Peace of Mind** needed to confidently **Manage Your Crypto**.
