Ledger, a digital asset security company, has rolled out native support for Etherlink, the EVM-compatible smart rollup built on Tezos, extending its existing integration with the Tezos ecosystem to include Etherlink functionality across LedgerTM signers and Ledger WalletTM.
According to the announcement shared with Finbold on January 29, the update enables full support for Etherlink and the tez (XTZ) token within Ledger’s ecosystem, including Ledger signer integration, Ledger Wallet desktop and mobile functionality, and upcoming native Tezos Layer 1 staking support.
Ledger has supported Tezos delegation since 2019, with more than 10 million XTZ delegated via Ledger Wallet for governance participation.
Expanded Etherlink and Tezos functionality for Ledger users
With the integration now live, Ledger users can securely store, send, receive, and manage Etherlink-based XTZ through Ledger Wallet, while benefiting from hardware-enforced Clear Signing for tez transfers on Etherlink. Users also gain full account visualization, including balance tracking and transaction history, alongside swap functionality within the wallet interface.
The update allows users to interact directly with the Etherlink DeFi ecosystem through Ledger Wallet, including access to established protocols such as Curve, Morpho, and Uniswap, as well as newer platforms like uranium.io, which offers tokenized physical uranium and other assets under self-custody.
Ledger said native Tezos staking support is planned as a next step, which is expected to further expand participation by Ledger users in securing the Tezos network while offering additional yield opportunities under self-custody.
“Uncompromising security is an essential for users of Tezos and Etherlink, and this made enhanced support in the Ledger ecosystem a top priority. With hardware-enforced clear signing for every Tezos and Etherlink transaction, users can confidently interact with DeFi knowing their assets are protected by Ledger’s uncompromising security,” said Charles Guillemet, CTO at Ledger.
The integration comes as Etherlink continues to see increased adoption, supported by sub-second confirmation times and transaction costs below $0.01. Ledger noted that signer support is particularly relevant for institutions seeking secure solutions for managing digital assets within EVM-compatible environments.
“This integration represents a significant step in making Tezos and Etherlink assets more accessible to users who prioritize security,” said Anthony Hayot, Head of DeFi Partnerships at Nomadic Labs. “With this Ledger integration, we’re ensuring that our ecosystem benefits from industry-leading hardware wallet protection while maintaining the seamless user experience that drives adoption.”
