Two of Crypto’s most reliable names have just made Ethereum simpler and potentially rewarding. By embedding MEV Max directly into Ledger Live, they reduce the inefficiencies that plague traditional staking setups.
According to a June 25 press release shared with Crypto.News, Ledger integrates Chorus One’s Mev Max Vault into the Ledger Live platform, allowing users to wager Ethereum (ETH) with MEV heating rewards directly from their hardware wallets.
The move allows ledger users to natively access the Chorus’ high-performance staking infrastructure through the app’s “Acquisition” and “Discovery” sections. This eliminates the need for third-party dashboards and manual delegations, leading staking, MEV extraction and security to a single interface.
For millions of Ledger users, it is a frictionless upgrade that could change the way retail investors approach Ethereum staking.

Does this integration change staking games??
For years, Ethereum staking has been a trade-off between convenience and optimization. Solo stakers chase MEVs with complex setups, and retail investors settle for basic yields from a centralized platform.
The integration of ledger and choir disrupts its dichotomy by integrating institutional grade strategies with retail-friendly access without compromising all independence.
According to the statement, Chorus One’s MEV Max combines sophisticated infrastructure with unique research to maximize validator rewards. The system strategically selects transactions to optimize block proposals and enhance taker returns through close collaboration with Ethereum block builders.
This approach already offers notable results involving two blocks this year, with 159.9 ETH and 134 ETH, respectively, significantly outweighing the typical staking rewards.
The mechanic is simple, but powerful. Users bet ETH through the Ledger Live interface and bundle Chorus One’s Balidators transactions to share profits with their stakers while maximizing MEV opportunities.
As more users participate, the increase in the locked total value increases the frequency of block proposals for the pool, creating a network effect that leads to larger stakes to more consistent rewards. Importantly, this all happens without the user managing validators or understanding the complexity of MEVs.
The current integration is just phase 1. According to the release, Ledger and Chorus One are already exploring looped staking and Oseth Minting. Oseth is a liquid staking token that allows you to re-staking and join defi without unlocking ETH.
