Ledger — Powering a Multi-Asset Earn Experience Across Chains

Introduction

Ledger is the world leader in digital asset security for consumers and enterprises. Founded in Paris in 2014, the company has sold over 7 million devices across 165 countries. Ledger offers a comprehensive ecosystem including Ledger Nano hardware signers — credit-card-sized devices powered by EAL6+ certified secure elements — and Ledger Wallet app for buying, swapping, earning, and managing digital assets with uncompromising self-custody. The platform supports 100% of the top 100 tokens across multiple blockchains. Backed by $574 million in funding at a $1.5 billion valuation, Ledger employs 700+ people globally and serves millions of individual users alongside 100+ financial institutions.

Ledger Live offers rewards on a wide range of assets — including USDe, BNB, DOT, TRX, POL, CRO, and AVAX — each with different staking or yield mechanics. Ledger partnered with Yield.xyz to unify these flows under one reliable infrastructure, ensuring a seamless Earn experience for millions of users.

Challenges

• Supporting multiple networks with different staking models (BNB Chain, Tron, Polkadot, and more).
• Integrating Ethena sUSDe vault (a non-ERC4626 rate-based yield).
• Maintaining uptime during major protocol upgrades like Tron 2.0 and Polkadot AssetHub migration.
• Ensuring compliance-ready data, accurate rewards, and real-time monitoring.

Yield.xyz Solution

• Unified Yield API powering native staking, liquid staking, stablecoin DeFi yields across supported networks.
• Ethena USDe staking integration with end-to-end interaction support and fee handling despite its non-ERC4626 architecture.
• Upgrade-resilient infrastructure ensuring zero disruption during the Tron 2.0 migration.
• Real-time data for accurate balances and historic rewards.
• Dedicated engineering support throughout rollout and expansions.

Results

• 0 downtime during the Tron 2.0 transition and subsequent Earn expansions.
• Full multi-asset coverage including USDe, BNB, DOT, TRX, POL, CRO, AVAX, and more.
• Consistent, future-proof Earn experience delivered through a single integration.
• Lower operational overhead for Ledger’s engineering teams.

"TRON and Yield.xyz integrating TRX staking in Ledger Live demonstrates the desire across the industry to provide users with secure, accessible opportunities across leading blockchain networks. Through Yield.xyz’s API infrastructure, combined with Ledger Live, they can reach a unique category of users that value Ledger’s uncompromising security and commitment to self-custody.”
