Lédger® Live Yield — Explore Crypto Earning Opportunities
Lédger® Live Yield — Explore Crypto Earning Opportunities
Lédger® Live Yield refers to the earning opportunities available through Ledger's ecosystem for users who want to potentially generate rewards from eligible crypto assets. The current Ledger application is called Ledger Wallet™, formerly Ledger Live™, and its Earn experience can help users discover staking and selected yield opportunities while keeping their private keys secured by their Ledger hardware device.
Crypto yield generally means earning rewards from assets rather than simply holding them. Depending on the asset and service, this can involve blockchain staking, pooled staking, liquid staking, or decentralized-finance opportunities.
Ledger's Earn section can identify eligible assets, display potential earning opportunities, and help users monitor staking positions and rewards.
Self-custody: Private keys remain protected by the Ledger hardware device.
Staking access: Eligible assets can be used for blockchain staking.
Multiple providers: Ledger Wallet connects users with different earning and staking providers.
Reward tracking: The Earn section can display staking positions and accumulated rewards.
Portfolio discovery: Ledger Wallet can identify assets that may be eligible for earning opportunities.
Transaction verification: Users confirm transactions on their Ledger device before signing.

Yield is not guaranteed. Reward rates can change, and different earning strategies carry different risks. Some staking arrangements may have an unbonding or withdrawal period. DeFi strategies can also introduce smart-contract, market, liquidity, and provider-related risks. Ledger states that third-party crypto services are involved and that rewards are not guaranteed.

Lédger® Live Yield provides a convenient way to explore crypto earning opportunities through Ledger's modern Earn experience. Whether using native staking, pooled options, or selected DeFi opportunities, users should evaluate rewards, fees, liquidity, and risks before committing funds. Most importantly, maintain control of your recovery information and approve transactions only after carefully verifying them on your Ledger device.
