This partnership will allow users to swap tokens directly within Ledger Live. They will also keep their assets under control through Ledger’s self-custody hardware wallets .
The integration also brings a much-needed feature—clear signing—ensuring secure DeFi transactions. Users will now see human-readable transaction details before authorizing them. This will eliminate the need for blind-signing or third-party wallet APIs.
Uniswap and Ledger Simplify DeFi with Enhanced Self-Custody
The integration is part of Uniswap’s broader mission to simplify the DeFi experience and allow users to easily swap tokens, such as exchanging Ether for stablecoins, without relying on intermediaries or hot wallets.
This is a game-changer for DeFi traders, as it puts users back in the driver’s seat when it comes to securing their digital assets. Mary-Catherine Lader, COO of Uniswap Labs, explained that the goal is to “unlock value through universal exchange” and improve self-custody for all users.

Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer of Ledger, echoed this sentiment, noting that the clear signing feature, supported by the Uniswap API, ensures that users can fully trust the transactions they’re authorizing. “Clear signing is the only secure way users should be authorizing transactions,” he said, emphasizing that unverifiable transactions can lead to trouble.
