Luganodes x Ledger Enterprise: Institutional ETH Staking Integration

Introduction

Luganodes is pleased to announce its integration with Ledger, as a native ETH staking provider inside Ledger Enterprise. Ledger Enterprise users can now stake Ethereum directly through Luganodes validators without leaving the Ledger Enterprise platform or surrendering custody of their assets. Luganodes is now available as a native ETH staking provider inside Ledger Enterprise, bringing institutional-grade validator infrastructure to institutions holding ETH on the platform.

Hardware-Enforced Self-Custody for On-Chain Staking

Most staking flows require users to trust a third-party interface with their keys during the staking process. Ledger's architecture removes this tradeoff entirely. Every staking transaction is constructed, verified, and signed on the operator's Personal Security Device, which means private keys never touch an internet-connected environment.

For most staking interfaces, users authorize transactions based on what the software tells them they are signing. Ledger's clear signing capabilities surface the exact parameters of each transaction on the device screen, so stakers can confirm precisely what they are authorizing before it reaches the chain.

This model also eliminates the need for wrapped tokens or pooled smart contracts. Staking through Ledger Enterprise with Luganodes is a direct, on-chain operation, with rewards flowing back to the same Ethereum address without intermediaries. For institutional clients, this matters for accounting, compliance, and reporting purposes. Each staking operation is a discrete, attributable on-chain transaction tied to a specific address, with no exposure to pooled smart contract risk or synthetic token mechanics that complicate custody frameworks.
