Staking for Passive Income
Let your crypto work for you. Ledger Live supports staking for major Proof‑of‑Stake networks such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ), Cosmos (ATOM), Polkadot (DOT), and more. Easily delegate to validators, see estimated returns, and track staking rewards—all directly within the app. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
The process is built for simplicity: choose a stakeable asset, select a validator, confirm via your Ledger hardware device, and monitor rewards. Your tokens remain under your control. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
NFTs Made Simple
NFT collectors can manage their digital art and collectibles securely through Ledger Live. View NFTs from networks like Ethereum and Polygon, see images and metadata, send or receive them—all while confirming transactions on your hardware wallet. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Ledger Live integrates with NFT marketplaces via WalletConnect or other supported dApps, enabling you to explore new NFTs or display your collection without exposing your seed or private keys. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
DeFi & Web3 Access Securely
DeFi is more than swapping tokens—it’s about lending, borrowing, providing liquidity, interacting with smart contracts. Ledger Live supports these via integrations with WalletConnect‑enabled dApps like Uniswap, Aave, Compound and others, always requiring device confirmation. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Ledger emphasizes “clear signing” whenever possible—letting you see what you're approving before you approve it. This helps reduce risks of smart contract exploits or blind signing. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
