Lédger® Live Yield
Lédger® Live Yield (formerly known as the Earn section) is a powerful feature within the Lédger Live app that allows you to earn rewards on your cryptocurrency holdings directly from cold storage. It streamlines the process of finding and participating in staking opportunities, all while keeping your private keys securely offline on your Lédger hardware wallet [citation:2].
Whether you're a long-term holder or an active DeFi participant, Lédger Live Yield provides a single, trusted interface to manage your staking positions without needing to navigate multiple platforms or compromise on security [citation:2][citation:3].
🔐 How Lédger Live Yield Works
The Earn section is accessible directly from the Lédger Live dashboard on both desktop and mobile. It is organized into two intuitive tabs [citation:2]:
- Assets earning rewards: Track your current staking positions, view accrued rewards, and monitor validator performance for supported assets.
- Earn more rewards: Discover additional assets eligible for staking with estimated APY/APR, and start staking new assets with just a few clicks.
When you initiate a staking request through Lédger Live, the transaction details are always displayed on your Lédger device screen for verification before signing. This ensures you are always in full control and protected from malicious transactions [citation:9].
💰 Supported Assets & Yields
Lédger Live Yield currently supports staking for a wide range of popular cryptocurrencies, with more being added regularly [citation:3][citation:10]. Supported assets include:
In addition to native staking, Lédger Live Yield also integrates with DeFi protocols to offer yield on stablecoins like Ethena USDe through partnerships with infrastructure providers such as Yield.xyz [citation:1][citation:5][citation:9].
🔒 Critical Security Rule: Staking through Lédger Live Yield ensures your private keys never leave your hardware wallet. Always verify all transaction details on your Lédger device screen before approving. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.
⚡ Key Features
Some staking opportunities, like the TRX integration, offer dual reward streams covering both block and vote rewards, while stablecoin yield options like USDe come with auto-compounding rewards [citation:1][citation:5][citation:9]. Note that unstaking may be subject to cooldown periods (e.g., 7 days for USDe, 14 days for TRX) [citation:1][citation:9].
*Rewards are not guaranteed. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) and Annual Percentage Return (APR) are estimates and may vary. Ledger does not provide financial advice [citation:2][citation:3].
