Lédger® Live Staking
Lédger® Live Staking is a feature within the Lédger Live app that allows you to earn rewards on your cryptocurrency holdings by staking them directly from your hardware wallet. It combines the security of cold storage with the convenience of a unified interface, letting you participate in Proof-of-Stake networks without exposing your private keys.
Staking is a way to contribute to the security and operation of a blockchain network while earning rewards in return. By staking assets like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cosmos (ATOM), and Cardano (ADA), you can generate passive income on your long-term holdings.
🔐 How Lédger Live Staking Works
Lédger Live Staking is accessible from the "Earn" section of the Lédger Live app on both desktop and mobile. The process is straightforward:
- Connect your Ledger device and open Lédger Live.
- Navigate to the Earn section to view eligible assets.
- Select an asset and choose a validator (for networks that require it).
- Enter the amount you wish to stake.
- Review and sign the transaction on your Ledger device screen.
- Track your rewards in real-time within the Earn section.
All transaction details are displayed on your Ledger device, ensuring you always verify and approve what you're signing. This protects you from phishing attacks and unauthorized transactions.
💰 Supported Assets for Staking
Lédger Live Staking supports a growing list of assets, allowing you to diversify your staking portfolio. Currently supported assets include:
Each asset offers different estimated Annual Percentage Yields (APY) and validator options. The Earn section provides clear information on rewards and validator performance to help you make informed decisions.
🔒 Critical Security Rule: Staking through Lédger Live ensures your private keys remain offline on your hardware wallet. Always verify transaction details on your Ledger device. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.
⚡ Key Features
For users who prefer delegated staking, Lédger Live also integrates with providers like Figment, Kiln, and Lido for Ethereum, offering flexible staking options with varying yields. For networks like Solana, you can choose specific validators to delegate your stake.
*Rewards are not guaranteed. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is an estimate and may vary. Unstaking may be subject to cooldown periods (e.g., 5 days for ETH, 14 days for TRX). Ledger does not provide financial advice.
