How to Stake ETH Using Figment in Ledger Live
Staking your ETH through Figment via Ledger Live is designed for simplicity and security. Here's how you can get started:
- Open Ledger Live on your desktop or mobile app.
- Click on the "Stake" button from your homepage or navigate to the Discover section.
- Select Ethereum (ETH) as the network.
- Choose Figment as your staking provider.
- Confirm a minimum stake of 32 ETH to activate your validator.
Once confirmed, your staking process begins—no additional steps required. All rewards are automatically sent to your wallet, with no need for manual claiming or hidden fees.
This integration ensures that you retain self-custody at all times. Unlike centralized exchange staking, your private keys never leave your Ledger device, meaning only you have access to your funds.

Your validator is linked directly to your wallet address. You maintain complete ownership and visibility over your staked assets and reward performance.
✅ No Pooling of Funds
Each user receives a dedicated smart contract. Your ETH is never pooled with others’, eliminating counterparty risk and reducing exposure to potential exploits.
✅ Zero Fees Until April 30, 2025

What Is Crypto Staking?
Crypto staking involves locking up a certain amount of cryptocurrency to support the operations of a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain. By participating, validators help verify transactions and maintain network integrity.
In return, stakers earn rewards—typically paid in the native token of the blockchain (in this case, ETH). Staking not only offers financial incentives but also strengthens decentralization and network resilience.
For Ethereum, staking requires a minimum of 32 ETH to run a full validator node. This threshold ensures commitment and reduces the risk of malicious behavior.
Staking through a trusted provider like Figment allows individual users to meet these technical requirements without managing complex infrastructure themselves.
