Ledger Live Desktop is built on a foundation of security-first principles. When you use Ledger Live with your Ledger hardware wallet, your private keys remain safely stored in the secure element chip, isolated from your computer and the internet.
Every transaction you make requires physical confirmation on your Ledger device. This means that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain secure. No malware, no hacker, and no unauthorized person can move your assets without your explicit approval.
The application itself is regularly audited by independent security firms and updated to patch any potential vulnerabilities. We employ industry-standard encryption for all data transmission and storage, ensuring your financial information remains private.
