New in Ledger Live: Securely Execute Non-Custodial Swaps with THORChain Directly Via Ledger Live

Things to Know:
— THORChain via SwapKit is now available in the swap section of Ledger Live Desktop.
— THORChain is a cross-chain decentralized exchange, enabling Ledger Live Desktop users to swap assets across different blockchains without needing a centralized exchange.
— This integration allows for a seamless and decentralized process of swapping assets directly through Ledger Live.

By leveraging Ledger’s hardware wallet capabilities, users can securely execute non-custodial swaps on THORChain directly through Ledger Live while maintaining control over their private keys.

Why Swap with THORChain through Ledger Live

As one of the largest decentralized exchanges and the first to enable transactions directly between Bitcoin and Ether, THORChain has become a popular option for users looking to enjoy decentralized swaps while maintaining control over their crypto.

THORChain, being a non-custodial exchange and a cross-chain liquidity protocol, eliminates the need for users to use a third party, minimizing the risk of loss due to exchange failures or hacks. 

THORChain also allows users to trade cross-chain with low slippage, no frontrunning, and no MEV. This could be of particular benefit to users conducting large transactions, particularly with BTC.

Thanks to this new integration, users can perform swaps on BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI & WBTC, with support for even more ERC-20 tokens coming soon. This all happens directly via Ledger Live Desktop: there’s no need to leave the app, undergo KYC, or create a new account. And with the Ledger Exchange app securing your transactions from end to end, you can always make high-value Bitcoin swaps with confidence via Ledger Live.

This integration was made possible via SwapKit.dev – an API + SDK that abstracts the complexity of THORChain services with a battle-tested infrastructure ensuring enterprise-level performance.

How To Swap with THORChain Via Ledger Live

If you already use Ledger Live Desktop, you can easily access THORChain. Just initiate a swap and choose THORChain from the list of swap providers to get started. For more information, check out this help center article.
