by

The grand stage of blockchain has witnessed a most curious development: Ledger, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to sprinkle some fairy dust on Tezos, introducing the Etherlink layer-a veritable cornucopia of surprises! Now, dear reader, you can wield XTZ like a wizard wields a wand, signing and swapping as if you were conjuring spells from the ether itself.

  • Behold! Ledger has expanded its Tezos support into Etherlink, allowing for XTZ custody, transfers, swaps, and a delightful entrance into the realm of DeFi.
  • With the magical integration of Etherlink, Ledger users will enjoy secure self-custody-because who wouldn’t want to keep their treasures safe while they frolic in the blockchain meadows?
  • The Ledger Wallet now opens its gates to Etherlink DeFi, granting XTZ holders access to famed places like Curve and Uniswap-welcome to the party, folks!

As the saga continues, the extended support for the Tezos ecosystem emerges like a phoenix from the ashes. The Ledger signers and Ledger Wallet are ready to embrace the EVM-compatible smart rollup, further entwining their fates with Tezos.

This integration bestows upon us the full glory of Etherlink and the tez (XTZ) token across the Ledger realms, promising not only safety but also upcoming native staking-a double whammy! Who said blockchain couldn’t be fun?

Accessing the Etherlink DeFi Wonderland

Since 2019, Ledger has been the trusty steed for Tezos delegation, with over 10 million tez entrusted to its care for voting power. With native staking on the horizon, our valiant users are set to not only secure the Tezos network but also revel in their newfound riches.

On this glorious day, Ledger users can bask in the warmth of secure self-custody for their Etherlink-based XTZ, all while enjoying Clear Signing for effortless tez transfers. It’s a blockchain buffet where you can send, receive, and manage your assets straight from Ledger Wallet’s desktop and mobile realms, complete with account visualization-because who doesn’t love a good balance tracking session?

And there’s more! Through Ledger Wallet, users can dive headfirst into the Etherlink DeFi ecosystem, engaging with renowned protocols like Curve, Morpho, and Uniswap, while also flirting with avant-garde platforms like uranium.io-yes, you read that right, uranium! Who needs gold when you can have uranium in your self-custody wallet?

Ledger’s Extended Embrace of Tezos and Etherlink

As staking becomes the new black in the blockchain couture, the appetite for secure, native staking under self-custody is growing faster than a rumor in a Moscow café. Users want to mingle with emerging ecosystems without sacrificing an ounce of security. Governance and network security are the bread and butter for Tezos users, and Ledger’s extended support for Etherlink and native staking is the cherry on top, bringing EVM compatibility and staking into their already trusted sanctuary.

“Uncompromising security is paramount for Tezos and Etherlink users,” proclaimed Charles Guillemet, the wise CTO at Ledger. With hardware-enforced clear signing for every transaction, users can dance through the DeFi world, confident that their assets are shielded by Ledger’s ironclad security-no need for a magic wand here!

The timing could not be more fortuitous, as Etherlink surges like a tidal wave, providing a refreshing alternative to Ethereum’s exorbitant fees. With sub-second confirmation times and transaction costs that barely tickle the wallet, Etherlink has emerged as the go-to choice for savvy DeFi aficionados. Institutional players, too, are taking note, seeking secure solutions for their digital treasure troves.

“This integration signifies a monumental leap in making Tezos and Etherlink assets more accessible to users who cherish security,” asserted Anthony Hayot, the Head of DeFi Partnerships at Nomadic Labs, as though unveiling a new opera. “With this Ledger integration, we’re ensuring that our ecosystem benefits from elite hardware wallet protection while maintaining the smooth user experience that keeps everyone coming back for more.”

As we prepare to raise a glass for Ledger’s 10-year anniversary in 2024, remember that it stands as a bastion of Digital Asset security for both consumers and enterprises. With over 8 million devices sold in 165+ countries, Ledger presides over more than 20% of the world’s crypto assets. Cheers to that!

And let us not forget the formidable Ledger Donjon, one of the most respected offensive security teams in the land, ever vigilant against the dark arts of hacking. In a year where $14 billion has been lost to scams and mismanagement, Ledger offers not just hope, but peace of mind and unwavering self-custody to its loyal community.

Tezos, that noble open-source and energy-efficient blockchain, is designed to empower institutions, developers, and businesses alike, facilitating value transfer in a digital realm. It prides itself on the scalable deployment of decentralized applications, a true pioneer among Proof of Stake blockchains, beloved for its robust governance, long-term upgradability, and smart contract capabilities.

Etherlink, the EVM-compatible blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups technology, invites developers to smoothly deploy any EVM codebase, enticing users and assets from Ethereum and other interoperable chains to join the festivities-seamless interaction and asset transfers galore!
