If you hold ETH in your Ledger wallet, you can now put it to work, securely and natively, through a direct integration with P2P.org, one of Ethereum’s most trusted validator operators.
This guide will walk you through how to stake ETH inside Ledger Live using the P2P.org validator.
No third-party platforms. No custodians.
Just a clean, on-chain staking flow directly from your hardware wallet.
P2P.org is one of the most experienced staking providers on Ethereum. With 7+ years of track record, zero slashing events, and consistently high validator performance, P2P.org delivers institutional-grade infrastructure trusted by top protocols and wallet providers worldwide.
Now, all of that is available inside Ledger Live, without giving up custody or control.
Open the Ledger Live app and connect your Ledger device. From the main menu, tap “Earn” to explore staking options available directly in-app.
Start by opening the Earn section in Ledger Live.
In the Earn section, scroll down and choose Ethereum (ETH). You’ll be staking ETH directly to a validator on the Ethereum network.
Choose Ethereum inside Earn.
You’ll see a list of validator options. Select P2P.org from the list to stake with one of Ethereum’s most secure, high-performing validator operators.
Choose P2P.org inside the staking providers options.
Once inside the app, choose which ledger account you want to use and how much ETH you want to stake. You need to stake a minimum of 32 ETH, the app will automatically assign your ETH to P2P.org’s validator infrastructure.
Choose the amount of ETH you want to stake.
Ledger Live will guide you through the staking transaction. Double-check the details and follow the prompts.
Ledger Live will prompt you to confirm the staking transaction.
Your Ledger device will ask you to approve the staking transaction. This keeps everything secure and non-custodial.
That’s it. Your validator is now active and earning rewards. You can monitor your staking status directly inside Ledger Live.
No. This is native Ethereum staking. Your ETH is locked into a validator, not represented by a token.
P2P.org manages the infrastructure. You keep full custody through your Ledger device.
Ethereum staking rewards are dynamic and protocol-driven. While rewards fluctuate based on network conditions, validator performance, and staking participation, they typically range between 3.5% - 4.5% annually as of mid-2025. P2P.org’s validators have consistently maintained high uptime and reliability, helping you capture the full share of on-chain rewards securely through your Ledger device.
Yes. Ethereum withdrawals are now live. You can initiate an exit and reclaim your ETH after the protocol-defined withdrawal queue.
No. Your ETH stays in your self-custodied wallet. Ledger handles signing, and P2P.org runs the validator infrastructure, without ever having access to your funds.
Ledger + P2P.org makes native ETH staking simple. If you’ve been holding ETH in cold storage, now’s the time to put it to work, without compromising on custody or security.
