Your portfolio

A thoughtful starting point for managing digital assets

Ledger Live Desktop brings your crypto portfolio into one considered workspace. See asset balances, follow portfolio movements, and find the tools you need from a single dashboard. This getting-started preview demonstrates how a desktop companion can make everyday wallet management feel more organized, without trading away the security of a hardware wallet.

Begin with a trusted connection

Install the official Ledger Live desktop application only from Ledger’s official website, and check the publisher and download details before proceeding. Open the app, connect your Ledger hardware wallet using its cable or supported connection, and unlock the device with your PIN. Follow the on-screen prompts on both your computer and device. A genuine device connection helps verify actions and keeps private keys protected on the hardware wallet rather than exposing them to your computer.

Explore your portfolio

Once your device and accounts are connected, the portfolio view can bring supported crypto assets together. Review the balance, check the individual asset list, and use search to locate an account quickly. Market values can change, and displayed estimates are informational; confirm network, recipient, amount, and fees directly on the device screen before approving any transaction. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, including someone claiming to be support.

Make a habit of security

Keep Ledger Live and your computer operating system updated, download software from official sources, and treat unexpected messages or links with caution. Ledger will never ask you to disclose your 24-word recovery phrase. Store that phrase offline in a private, secure place. A hardware wallet provides a meaningful layer of protection, but careful habits remain essential: take time to verify transaction details, use the correct network, and pause when anything seems unusual.

Use your desktop workspace your way

Portfolio tools are designed to make routine checks approachable, whether you are reviewing a balance, looking at recent activity, or preparing to receive an asset. In this interactive preview, navigation, asset search, balance visibility, and dashboard actions respond locally to help you explore the interface. Actions that require a real hardware wallet are intentionally not performed here. For real use, rely on the official software, connect your own device, and approve only transactions you have personally reviewed. Ledger Live Desktop gives you a clearer place to start while you keep control firmly in your hands.

Stay informed, stay in control

Use the dashboard as a place to review rather than rush. Portfolio totals can aggregate information across accounts, while each account and network still has its own details and requirements. An asset ticker alone does not confirm that two networks are compatible. Before receiving or sending funds, carefully compare the destination address and network shown by the software with the details expected by the recipient. Small verification steps can help avoid mistakes that may be difficult or impossible to reverse.

This guide is educational and the sample balances shown above are illustrative interface data, not a live account, investment advice, or a promise of performance. Values and features in actual software can vary by region, account setup, assets, and version. For the safest experience, refer to official Ledger support resources when you need product-specific instructions. You can use the controls in this preview to get familiar with common dashboard patterns, then take your time setting up the genuine desktop app and hardware device. A reliable routine is simple: open the app directly, inspect each prompt, verify sensitive information on the device itself, and close sessions on shared computers. If a screen or request feels unfamiliar, stop and consult the official help center before continuing. Thoughtful, deliberate steps make the desktop experience easier to understand and help keep decisions in your own hands.
