Understanding the security model is paramount. The **Ledger Live Desktop** software is an interface—a secure window—that communicates with the blockchain. It never, under any circumstances, interacts directly with your **Private Keys**.
Remember: **Ledger Live Desktop** only provides visibility and transaction preparation. Your security is enforced by your physical **Hardware Wallet**, ensuring your **Private Keys** remain off the internet, impervious to malware and phishing attacks that target less secure software wallets.
The **Ledger Live Desktop** integrates features that allow you to interact with the decentralized web, all while retaining the security of your **Hardware Wallet**. Use Ledger's secure bridge to access decentralized applications (DApps), manage NFTs, and participate in DeFi services, directly integrating them into your **Portfolio Management** view.
Through our secure ecosystem, you can connect your **Secure Crypto Wallet** to various decentralized services. Review and confirm all DeFi interactions, including swaps and yield farming approvals, on your **Ledger Nano Hardware Wallet**. The large screen of the **Ledger Live Desktop** makes reviewing complex contract data easier and safer before you authorize the signing with your **Private Keys**.
View and manage your Ethereum and Polygon NFTs directly within **Ledger Live Desktop**. Your valuable collectibles are treated as highly sensitive **Digital Assets** and are secured by the same trusted mechanism that protects your cryptocurrency.

The evolution of the **Ledger Live Desktop** is focused on bringing more of the crypto world securely to your fingertips, always prioritizing the isolation of your **Private Keys** within the **Hardware Wallet**.
Yes. While your **Private Keys** are always kept offline in the **Hardware Wallet**, **Ledger Live Desktop** needs an internet connection to read the blockchain, calculate your **Portfolio Management** value, and broadcast signed transactions. No sensitive data is transmitted online—only the necessary public information is used to display your **Digital Assets** balance.
The **Ledger Live Desktop** app stores public account information (like account names and public addresses) locally on your computer. It does *not* store your **Private Keys** or your **24-Word Recovery Phrase**. This local data is safe because it only contains public information; access to the funds is still entirely dependent on the physical **Hardware Wallet** and its PIN, ensuring it remains a **Secure Crypto Wallet**.
Absolutely. **Ledger Live Desktop** allows for the creation and management of separate accounts for the same coin (e.g., Bitcoin 1, Bitcoin 2). This is a core feature for advanced **Portfolio Management**, allowing you to segment your **Digital Assets** for accounting or privacy purposes, all while the funds remain secured by a single **Ledger Hardware Wallet**.
When using a DApp, the contract interaction is prepared by the **Ledger Live Desktop** software. Before execution, the critical details of that interaction (what coin, how much, and to which smart contract) are sent to your **Ledger Hardware Wallet**. You must physically scroll, verify, and confirm these details on the trusted screen of the device. This "What You See Is What You Sign" (WYSIWYS) process ensures that even if your computer is compromised, the transaction you approve is the correct one, keeping your **Secure Crypto Wallet** protected.
Web-based wallets often leave your **Private Keys** potentially vulnerable in browser extensions or online. **Ledger Live Desktop**, downloaded from the **Official Site®**, works *in conjunction* with your physical **Hardware Wallet**, which stores your keys entirely offline. This hybrid approach offers superior **Secure Crypto Wallet** protection, combining the convenience of a rich **Portfolio Management** application with the unhackable nature of air-gapped **Private Keys**.
