Project Description
Summary
The purpose of this project is to integrate ICON blockchain to Ledger Live application natively. Boasting a monthly active user count of over 1.5 million users, Ledger Live is undoubtedly one of the most popular applications out there for every ledger device user. The Ledger team has increasingly introduced more and more features to enhance the convenience of its many users, as they are able to view their complete portfolio holistically across different blockchain platforms and securely swap their tokens directly on the application itself.
Therefore, we believe this integration project will bridge ICON to the Ledger Live ecosystem, in which users from other blockchains will be introduced and exposed to ICON network with the goal of future capabilities that will integrate ICON dApps directly into the Ledger Live interface.
Objective
For the first phase of this project, ICX users will be able to benefit from the Portfolio, Account Management, Send & Receive modules of Ledger Live. Through short research, we found over 50% of ICX users use Ledger Live and with an additional 30% having expressed interest in using Ledger Live if given the opportunity for their ICON-based tokens. This will create a more convenient and enhanced user experience for these users as we are going to develop a set of libraries, extensions, and backend nodes to allow Ledger Live application to read blockchain data directly from ICON.
For a longer vision, we are eager to integrate other ICON tokens to the Ledger Live application itself and introduce a swap interface utilizing the underlying mechanism provided by trading platforms such as Balanced DEX. Additionally, with the use of BTP and other interconnecting features of ICON, more integration in the future could open the door to easing interchain swapping of tokens between the various chains in the BTP ecosystem.
Portfolio Management
The below view represents the available features under Portfolio module of Ledger Live:
ICX users will be able to experience the following features:
- Total portfolio value with the inclusion of ICX.
- Asset allocation of ICX in comparison to the total portfolio.
- Latest operations showing ICX in-flow and out-flow of the wallet address.
Accounts Management
The below view represents the available features under Accounts module of Ledger Live:
ICX users will be able to experience the following features:
- ICX current price and 24hour change statistics.
- Historical price chart denominated in 1D, 1W, 1M, 1Y and ALL.
Send & Receive Management
ICX users will be able to send and receive ICX directly on Ledger Live application. The below screenshots demonstrate how these features perform on the application itself:
