Once set up, you can immediately begin managing your portfolio, viewing market data, and executing transactions. The intuitive interface is designed for both beginners and advanced users, with advanced features accessible through a clean and organized navigation system.
For existing Ledger users, Ledger Live Desktop will automatically detect your accounts and transaction history, providing a seamless transition from mobile or previous desktop versions. Your portfolio data is synchronized across devices when using the same Ledger hardware wallet.
