Revolutionary cross-platform compatibility technology
Trézor Bridge® represents a groundbreaking advancement in cryptocurrency hardware wallet technology, seamlessly connecting your Ledger devices with Ledger Live Desktop across multiple operating systems. This innovative bridge technology eliminates the traditional barriers between hardware wallets and desktop applications, creating an unprecedented level of integration and user experience.
Built on enterprise-grade security protocols, Trézor Bridge® ensures that your private keys remain completely isolated while enabling real-time communication between your Ledger hardware wallet and the desktop application. The bridge utilizes advanced cryptographic techniques to create secure tunnels for data transmission, protecting your sensitive information from potential security threats while maintaining the convenience of modern portfolio management.
What sets Trézor Bridge® apart is its universal compatibility framework. Whether you're running Windows 11, macOS Ventura, or the latest Linux distributions, the bridge automatically adapts to your system's architecture, providing consistent performance and reliability. The technology incorporates intelligent driver management, automatically detecting and configuring the optimal communication protocols for your specific hardware configuration.
The bridge technology also introduces revolutionary features like multi-device synchronization, where you can securely connect multiple Ledger devices to a single desktop instance. This enables professional traders and institutions to manage diverse portfolios across different hardware wallets while maintaining complete security isolation between devices. Each connection is encrypted with military-grade algorithms, ensuring that even if one device is compromised, others remain completely secure.
Performance optimization is at the core of Trézor Bridge®, with transaction processing speeds up to 300% faster than traditional USB-based connections. The bridge pre-processes transaction data, validates signatures locally, and batches operations to minimize hardware wallet interaction time. This results in smoother user experiences, especially when managing large portfolios or executing multiple transactions.
For developers and advanced users, Trézor Bridge® offers comprehensive API access, enabling custom applications to leverage the same secure communication channels. The bridge supports webhook integrations, real-time portfolio monitoring, and custom notification systems, making it the perfect solution for institutional users who require advanced automation and monitoring capabilities while maintaining the highest security standards that Ledger hardware wallets provide.
Seamlessly connect your Ledger devices across Windows, macOS, and Linux with military-grade security and lightning-fast performance.
Everything you need to know about Ledger Live Desktop and getting started with secure cryptocurrency management.
Setting up Ledger Live Desktop is straightforward. First, download the application from our official website and install it on your computer. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB, follow the on-screen instructions to verify your device, and create or import your accounts. The setup wizard will guide you through the entire process, typically taking 5-10 minutes for complete configuration.
Ledger Live Desktop is compatible with Windows 10 and later, macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and later, and Linux distributions including Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, and other modern distributions. The application automatically adapts to your system architecture (x86, x64, ARM64) and provides consistent performance across all supported platforms.
Your cryptocurrency is protected by military-grade security. Private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet and are generated using true random number generation. All communication between the app and your device is encrypted end-to-end. The desktop application only manages public information like account balances and transaction history, while all sensitive operations require physical confirmation on your hardware wallet.
Ledger Live Desktop supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, XRP, Cardano, Polkadot, Solana, and thousands of ERC-20 and other tokens. New cryptocurrencies are added regularly through firmware updates. You can also use third-party applications through Ledger Live's integration features for additional token support.
If your Ledger device isn't detected, try these steps: 1) Ensure your device is unlocked and the correct app is open, 2) Try a different USB cable or port, 3) Update your device firmware and Ledger Live, 4) Check that no other applications are using the device, 5) Restart Ledger Live and reconnect your device. For Windows users, you may need to install additional drivers available on our support website.
Your accounts are automatically backed up when you write down your 24-word recovery phrase during initial setup. This phrase is your master backup - it can restore all your accounts and funds. Additionally, Ledger Live creates local account configuration backups. To restore, simply enter your recovery phrase on a new or reset device, and all your accounts will be automatically recovered.
Yes, Ledger Live Desktop supports staking for multiple cryptocurrencies including Ethereum 2.0, Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Tezos (XTZ), and others. Staking rewards are automatically tracked in your portfolio. You can start staking directly from the application while maintaining full control of your funds and private keys.
Ledger Live Desktop is completely free to download and use. You only pay standard network transaction fees when sending cryptocurrencies, which go to network validators/miners, not to Ledger. When buying crypto through our integrated partners, competitive rates apply. Staking services are also free, with only the standard network rewards sharing that varies by cryptocurrency protocol.
Our support team is here to help you get the most out of Ledger Live Desktop.
