GLedger Live Integrations – Ledger Developer Portal

A concise, developer-focused presentation that explains integration paths to bring services, wallets and Live Apps into Ledger Live. This document combines practical guidance, best practices, and direct links to official resources for engineers and product owners.

Overview

Ledger Live is the gateway between Ledger hardware and the broader crypto ecosystem. Integrations fall into three primary categories: Accounts (blockchain support), Live Apps (dApps inside Ledger Live) and Companion Services (custodial & non-custodial services accessible from within the app). Successful integrations prioritize security, UX parity with Ledger standards and compliance with Ledger’s submission process.

Why integrate with Ledger Live?

Integrating with Ledger Live increases your product's reach to millions of security-conscious users, provides a hardened path to custody and signing operations using Ledger devices, and leverages Ledger’s secure communication primitives (the Ledger Services Kit). From a product perspective, integrations improve user trust and reduce onboarding friction.

Primary integration patterns

1. Accounts / Blockchain integration: Add native blockchain support so users can manage accounts directly in Ledger Live.

2. Live Apps (Web / dApp inside Ledger Live): Embed web-based dApps that can request signatures and securely interact with the ledger device via the Services Kit.

3. Wallet & Service integrations: Connect external wallets, exchanges, or custodial platforms through official channels to offer additional services (swaps, staking, bridge flows) inside Ledger Live.

Security & submission requirements

Ledger enforces a rigorous app submission and review process. Third-party teams must provide complete documentation, testing artifacts and user support instructions. Applications that interact with device-level features must comply with Ledger’s SDK and BOLOS constraints. Always consult the submission guidelines early — many integration delays come from incomplete deliverables.

Developer workflow

  1. Read the Ledger Developer Portal docs and choose the correct integration path (Accounts, Live App, or Partner Service).
  2. Prototype locally using the Ledger Live monorepo and SDK emulators (Speculos for device emulation).
  3. Run end-to-end tests with hardware devices and gather required documentation.
  4. Submit the app or integration plan to Ledger and follow the deliverables checklist.

Official resources (10 colorful official links)

Below are the most relevant official resources to get started — each link is styled for quick visual scanning during a presentation.

Example integration checklist (copyable)

<!-- checklist snippet -->
1) Confirm integration path (Account / Live App / Partner)
2) Fork ledger-live (if modifying UI flows) and boot local build
3) Implement Services Kit calls (Live App) or account sync (Accounts)
4) Write step-by-step user guide and publish demo/tutorial
5) Run device tests (Speculos + real hardware)
6) Submit deliverables & support plan to Ledger

Closing & next steps

Start by choosing the right integration path and bookmarking the official resources above. Early outreach to Ledger (via the Developer Portal forms) helps align expectations and reduces review friction.
