Lédger® Live Staking — Earn Rewards While Maintaining Control
Lédger® Live Staking — Earn Rewards While Maintaining Control
Lédger® Live staking provides a way to participate in proof-of-stake networks while managing compatible assets through Ledger's wallet application and hardware devices. Ledger's official staking service allows users to explore available staking opportunities, compare providers where applicable, and track rewards through its Earn section. Supported assets and providers can change over time.
Crypto staking generally involves committing or delegating assets to help secure a proof-of-stake blockchain. In return, participants may receive network rewards. The potential return depends on the blockchain, validator, network conditions, fees, and other factors. Staking rewards are not guaranteed, and Ledger states that it does not provide financial advice or recommendations regarding staking services.
To begin, users generally create an account for the cryptocurrency they want to stake, transfer or acquire the supported asset, and then open the Earn section or the relevant asset account. From there, eligible staking options and providers can be displayed. Users select an available option, choose the amount, review the transaction, and confirm it on their Ledger hardware device.
Ledger explains that staking through its ecosystem can allow users to retain control of their private keys, which remain secured by the hardware wallet. When delegating assets, the validator performs network participation on the user's behalf while the wallet remains associated with the user's blockchain address.
Ledger provides staking support for a growing range of proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies. Depending on current availability, examples include Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cosmos (ATOM), Polkadot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX), Avalanche (AVAX), and other assets. The exact selection can vary by service provider and region, so users should check Ledger's current supported-assets information before staking.
Validator selection is an important part of staking. Where multiple validators are available, review relevant information such as commission rates, network performance, and other available metrics before making a decision. Ledger notes that users can choose among available providers and validators through supported staking services.
Some blockchain networks may impose an unbonding or waiting period when assets are unstaked. Therefore, staked cryptocurrency may not always become immediately transferable. Always review the rules of the specific blockchain before committing funds.
Download Ledger software only through official Ledger resources. Never provide your Secret Recovery Phrase, PIN, or private keys to a website, individual, email, or unsolicited support service. Always review transaction details directly on your Ledger hardware device before approving a staking transaction.
Lédger® Live staking combines a convenient wallet interface with hardware-based transaction approval for supported proof-of-stake assets. Before staking, research the network, validator, fees, potential risks, and withdrawal conditions. Most importantly, remember that staking rewards are variable and never guaranteed.
