Ledger® Live Yield: Earn Passive Income on Your Crypto

Ledger® Live (recently rebranded as Ledger Wallet™) is more than just a secure interface for managing your digital assets—it's also a powerful platform for growing your crypto holdings. Through the Earn section, users can explore yield opportunities and put their idle assets to work while retaining full custody and security .

Understanding the Earn Section

The Earn section within Ledger Live is designed to centralize all your staking and yield-generating activities . It provides a clear dashboard where you can track rewards on assets you're currently staking and discover new opportunities for assets eligible to earn . The interface is built to help you avoid navigating multiple platforms and interfaces .

Key metrics displayed include:

• APY (Annual Percentage Yield): An estimate of yearly earnings including compound interest .

• APR (Annual Percentage Return): An estimate of total yearly rewards without compound interest .

Note: Rewards are not guaranteed, and Ledger does not provide financial advice .

Supported Yield Opportunities

Staking Cryptocurrencies

Ledger Live supports staking for a range of major Proof-of-Stake networks. Users can currently stake assets like Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ), Ethereum (ETH), Cosmos (ATOM), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Cardano (ADA), and more . For Ethereum, flexible options are available through integrations with services like Lido (no minimum) or Kiln and Figment for dedicated and pooled staking .

Stablecoin Yield

Recent updates have expanded the Earn section to include stablecoin yield opportunities . Through partnerships with platforms like Kiln DeFi, users can deposit stablecoins like USDT, USDC, DAI, and USDS across EVM networks to earn passive yield . These yields are generated through decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanisms such as lending protocols and liquidity pools, often with no lockup periods .

Ethena USDe Yield

Users outside the U.S. can also earn yield on Ethena USDe directly within Ledger Live via an integration with Yield.xyz. This allows for staking with no minimum cap and auto-compounding weekly rewards, though a 7-day withdrawal cooldown period applies .

Getting Started

To begin earning, open the Ledger Live app and navigate to the Earn icon in the left-hand menu or the navigation bar . From there, you can choose an asset to stake, follow the guided process, and confirm all transactions directly on your Ledger hardware device, ensuring your private keys remain offline and secure .

Important Security Note

Always ensure you are using the official Ledger Live application. The only official source for download is the Ledger website at https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-wallet . Never enter your Secret Recovery Phrase anywhere except on your Ledger device itself, and be wary of phishing attempts .
