Ledger Live Desktop Introduces ‘Earn’ Section for Users to Stake Assets, Track Rewards, and Discover Opportunities

Ledger, a leading provider of secure hardware wallets, has recently made an exciting announcement for its users. The popular ‘Earn’ section is now available to all users on Ledger Live Desktop, with the mobile app version set to follow soon.

The ‘Earn’ section of the Ledger Live app offers a convenient way for users to stake their assets, track their rewards, and discover staking opportunities across various chains. This feature eliminates the need to navigate multiple platforms and interfaces, allowing users to maintain self-custody of their assets.

Ledger initially focused on providing secure devices for transactions and expanded its offerings with the companion app, Ledger Live. This app serves as a gateway for users to access third-party services without compromising the security of their assets or private keys.

With the introduction of the ‘Earn’ section on Ledger Live, users now have access to a single and user-friendly dashboard where they can stake assets, track rewards, and explore new staking opportunities. Currently, the ‘Earn’ section supports Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ), Ethereum (ETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Lido Token (SETH), Near (NEAR), and Cardano (ADA). Ledger plans to introduce support for additional coins and expand beyond staking in the future.

The ‘Earn’ section consists of two tabs. The ‘Asset earning rewards’ tab allows users to monitor their staking rewards across different networks. On the other hand, the ‘Earn more rewards’ tab presents a list of assets eligible for staking, along with estimated rewards. Users can gain valuable insights, purchase and stake more assets, and start earning rewards from this tab.

Ledger Live offers a comprehensive range of features to its 1.5 million active users. Apart from the ‘Earn’ section, users can also buy, sell, swap, stake, and lend digital assets, all while maintaining ownership and security. The app also provides access to an expanding list of decentralized applications (DApps) in the Discover section, with the added security of private keys being safeguarded on the Ledger device.

It’s important to note that while Ledger Live provides access to various crypto transaction services, these services are provided third-party service providers. Ledger does not offer advice or recommendations on the use of these services.

In conclusion, Ledger’s introduction of the ‘Earn’ section on Ledger Live Desktop offers a seamless and secure way for users to stake assets, track rewards, and discover staking opportunities all from a single platform. This update further enhances the user experience and reinforces Ledger’s commitment to providing reliable and user-friendly solutions for cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
