Slide 1 — Opening / Executive Summary
What is Ledger Live desktop?
Ledger Live desktop is a secure application that lets users manage a wide range of cryptocurrencies from a single interface while keeping private keys stored safely in a hardware device. It combines on-device key security with desktop convenience for transactions, portfolio tracking, and app management.
Key takeaway
Security-first, user-friendly, and regularly updated to support new assets and features.
Slide 2 — Core Capabilities
Account & Asset Management
- Create and open multiple accounts across chains
- View balances, transaction history, and real-time portfolio value
- Manage tokens, NFTs, and staking from the same UI
Security features
Private keys remain on the hardware wallet; the desktop app only initiates signed transactions once the user confirms on-device.
Slide 3 — How it Works (Technical Overview)
Architecture
Ledger Live runs locally and communicates with Ledger hardware via USB or Bluetooth (where supported). It queries public blockchains through trusted nodes and APIs to fetch balances and transaction data.
Transaction flow (simplified)
- User composes transaction in Ledger Live.
- Unsigned transaction sent to hardware device.
- User reviews details on-device and confirms.
- Signed transaction returned and broadcast by the app.
Slide 4 — Security & Trust Model
Why hardware + desktop?
Storing keys on-device isolates them from internet threats. Desktop apps provide a richer interface for management while keeping the critical signing step offline on the device.
Best practices
- Always verify transaction details on your Ledger device screen
- Keep firmware and Ledger Live updated
- Back up your recovery phrase in a secure, offline location
Slide 5 — User Experience
Onboarding
Simple account setup with step-by-step pairing to a Ledger device. Guided recovery and account addition flows reduce friction for newcomers.
Daily workflows
- Check portfolio dashboard
- Send/receive coins
- Open apps (swap, staking, third-party integrations)
Slide 6 — Supported Assets & Ecosystem
Broad asset coverage
Ledger Live supports major blockchains and an extensive token list. Support expands through regular firmware updates and third‑party app integrations.
Integration highlights
- On-platform swaps and token exchanges
- Support for staking and delegation where available
- NFT viewing capabilities for supported chains
Slide 7 — Compliance & Privacy
Privacy-preserving design
Ledger Live minimizes personal data collection. It uses public blockchain data and aggregated analytics, with optional telemetry users can opt out of.
Regulatory considerations
While Ledger provides tools, users must comply with local tax and reporting rules for crypto holdings and transactions.
Slide 8 — Troubleshooting & Support
Common issues
- Device not detected: check USB/Bluetooth and cable quality
- Sync delays: ensure Ledger Live is updated and network access is available
- Transaction errors: verify on-device details and check mempool fees
Where to get help
Use Ledger's official support channels and knowledge base. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
Slide 9 — Roadmap & Enhancements
Typical evolution
Expect ongoing additions: more asset support, third-party dApp integrations, UI improvements, and security hardening. Users should follow official release notes for exact timelines.
How to stay informed
Subscribe to official channels for changelogs and security bulletins; check the app for updates regularly.
Slide 10 — Closing: Recommendations & Next Steps
For individuals
- Use a hardware device for holding significant balances
- Keep small, hot-wallet balances in software only if needed
- Practice recovery-phrase security and test restores periodically (in safe, offline environments)
For teams & businesses
Adopt multisig and institutional workflows; combine Ledger devices with policy-driven operational procedures.
