Ledger is proud to announce our integration with Velora, the next-generation DeFi access layer. By using Ledger one-click dApp connectivity to link your Ledger signer directly to Velora, you can now access the most efficient trading routes in DeFi through one trusted, end-to-end secure entry point.

What is Velora?

Formerly known as ParaSwap, Velora has evolved into a comprehensive DeFi access layer. It unifies disconnected markets into a single, optimized interface to solve the problem of liquidity fragmentation.

Velora’s technical engine maximizes output while minimizing costs through:

• Intelligent Routing: Splitting orders across multiple liquidity sources (like Uniswap, Curve, and private market makers) to secure the best price.
• Cross-Chain Support: Allowing users to trade assets across major networks like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base in a single flow.
• Advanced Tooling: Providing features like limit orders and RFQ (Request for Quote) liquidity for deeper pools and better control.

Why Use Velora with Ledger’s Direct dApp Connectivity?

The on-chain experience truly comes to life when you interact with decentralized applications. By integrating Velora through Ledger’s one-click dApp connectivity, we’ve fixed one of the weakest links in the user journey—the “bridge” between your assets and the dApps you want to use.

Seamless Connectivity, No More Friction

Connecting a Ledger signer to a dApp used to require extra steps and software bridges. Direct dApp connectivity removes that friction entirely for supported applications. You can now bypass middle layers for a one-click connection to Velora. 

Extend Clear Signing Security to Velora

Blind signing, where users approve transactions without fully understanding the details, is one of the biggest risks in DeFi. Ledger solves this by extending Clear Signing to Velora through this direct connection, turning complex smart contract code into human-readable information on your Ledger signer’s secure screen.

Institutional-Grade Execution

Velora has evolved from a dex aggregator to a comprehensive access layer. It analyzes the market in real-time to find the most efficient path for your trade, ensuring minimal slippage and optimal prices across hundreds of liquidity sources.

Uncompromising Self-Custody

Your private keys never leave your Ledger signer. While Velora finds the best price and route online, the final authorization always happens in a secure, offline environment.

Connecting your Ledger signer to Velora is now simpler than ever:
