We’re excited to announce Ledger By Chorus One, a collaborative effort with our long-time partners, Ledger, to continue supporting network security and performance within the Cosmos ecosystem.
Previously, the Cosmos (ATOM) validator node was managed and operated directly by Ledger. With Ledger By Chorus, all operational responsibilities will now be handled by Chorus One, with the new name and Chorus One’s Terms of Service reflecting this transition.
✅ The COSMOS node is now called Ledger By Chorus One, operated by Chorus One.
✅ No interruptions to staking operations—your rewards will continue to accrue and will be claimable as usual.
✅ Chorus One’s Terms of Service will now apply instead of Ledger Live’s Terms of Use. This will have no impact on staking rewards or functionality. To review, click here.
Ledger has chosen Chorus One because of our proven track record securing over 60 proof-of-stake networks, including Cosmos, Ethereum, and Solana. Our ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, 24/7 monitoring, and redundant systems provide the reliability, security, and performance that Ledger—and its users—expect.
Together, we’re combining:
🔐 Ledger’s world-class hardware wallet security — keeping your private keys offline and protected.
⚡ Chorus One’s validator expertise — ensuring your staked ATOM earns consistent rewards with minimal downtime.
🚀 A streamlined staking experience — you can continue to stake and manage your ATOM directly within the Ledger Cosmos wallet, backed by Chorus One’s institutional-grade infrastructure and expertise.
Ledger by Chorus One builds on our history of collaboration and our shared commitment to secure, seamless staking experiences. To learn more about existing Ledger x Chorus One integrations, click here.
Nothing! Your stake stays right where it is, your rewards keep flowing, and you can manage your staking directly in Ledger Live. You can review the new terms and conditions here—please note that no action is required, and there is no time limit.
Should you not agree with the new terms, you may undelegate at any time. For additional details, see Ledger’s Cosmos staking guide here.
With ~6.63 million ATOM staked (worth over $30 million) and representing 2.63% of total voting power, Ledger By Chorus One remains a trusted cornerstone of the Cosmos ecosystem.
We’re proud to work alongside Ledger to deliver best-in-class validator performance and security for Cosmos stakers—today and into the future.

At Chorus One, we aim to provide users with a best-in-class experience across a wide variety of networks. To maintain this standard, we periodically assess our supported networks for current and future viability. After a comprehensive review where we also consulted with clients, Chorus One has made the strategic decision to offboard 7 protocols from our staking services portfolio. These include:
This move reflects our commitment to operational excellence and client value maximization and does not reflect on the capability, performance, or potential of these protocols. Each has merit and continues to serve the broader ecosystem effectively.
We are proud to have supported these networks and their users. However, there are a few trends we have observed that have led to our decision:
Market Conditions: The volatility and price movement of the affected networks’ tokens have impacted their sustainability from a node operation perspective. In uncertain market conditions, it’s crucial for us to prioritize networks that show resilience and consistent growth.
Low Network Activity: Despite their early potential, the applications and user adoption on these networks have not reached the levels necessary to justify continued support. In our commitment to delivering the best experience to our users, we believe it’s important to focus on networks with higher engagement.
If you’re currently staking tokens on any of these networks, we kindly ask that you migrate them to a different validator by July 31, 2025. After this date, staking rewards from our public nodes will no longer be guaranteed. Please ensure your tokens are unstaked or re-delegated before then.

This decision allows us to allocate more resources and attention to the networks that show the most promise in terms of activity, user growth, and long-term sustainability. As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain committed to offering the best staking services and supporting the most innovative and active networks in the industry.
If you have any questions or need assistance with unstaking your tokens, our support team is here to help. Feel free to reach out to us via support@chorus.one.

Earlier this year, Chorus One (“Chorus”) introduced TON Pool – TON staking, built for institutions. TON Pool redefines staking on TON by combining security-first architecture, performance optimization, and seamless developer-ready integrations to eliminate the friction that once defined, and hindered, staking on TON.
Today, Chorus is pleased to announce the launch of the TON Pool dApp, making TON staking even simpler, more accessible to all.
Chorus’ TON Pool is the most secure pooled staking solution in the TON ecosystem with smart contracts fully audited by Spearbit, and ongoing optimizations aimed at maximizing annualized staking returns (ARR).
This makes TON staking more accessible by removing its high barriers to entry–
In addition, Chorus One has consistently outperformed in staking rewards for TON Pool since its launch. We do this by optimizing our bidding process for election cycle participation.
When TON Pool was first launched, it was accessible only via SDK and API. Now, anyone can easily access TON Pool through Chorus’ new dApp, no technical skills needed!
Start staking TON with just a few simple steps.

As announced earlier this year, Chorus One is proud to have launched TON Pool, an institutional-grade pooled staking solution on Telegram Open Network (TON) that enhances the staking experience with a focus on security and addressing technical risks.
TON Pool has been based on the work of the Ton Whales team. As part of our commitment to offering institutional-grade solutions, Chorus One partnered with Spearbit to complete a smart contract audit that revealed the underlying Ton Whales contracts lack adequate risk mitigation, potentially leading to users' staked tokens being lost.
Our audit identified two critical risks:
Both of these issues have been mitigated in the Chorus One’s TON Pool. These issues have not been mitigated in the original Ton Whales contract, and users staking to Ton Whales should be aware that if either of these above risks occurs, their stake may be lost.
Efforts to help secure Ton Whale stakers
Chorus One has proactively engaged the Ton Whales team in an effort to protect the community, and as a good community member, to respect the Ton Whales smart contracts. Chorus One initially sent the smart contract findings in early March and again reached out to them before making our updated smart contracts publicly available and publishing this article. Up till the time of writing, we have not heard back from the team behind those contracts, which brings concerns as ignoring these risks puts the stake and the ecosystem at a vulnerable position. As of now, Ton Whales has not addressed the issues found, at least not in the open-sourced contracts.
Assuring the continued security of the Chorus One Ton Pool
Chorus One continues to test and, where necessary, improve the security of the Chorus One TON Pool. This is done by actively testing proprietary solutions internally and with our partners.
A Commitment to the Community
At Chorus One, we aim to deliver innovative products and advocate for a safer digital assets environment. We are committed to leading in security and challenging the status quo.
In conclusion, our TON Pool staking solution sets a higher standard for security and trust. We encourage users to evaluate their options carefully and build a safer future for digital assets together.
