Ledger has integrated Etherlink—Tezos’ EVM‑compatible smart rollup—into Ledger signers and the Ledger Wallet, adding native staking options beyond Tezos Layer 1. This expands Ledger’s custody and staking coverage for XTZ holders.
Tezos activated the Tallinn protocol upgrade on Jan 25, 2026, reducing average block time to about 6 seconds and marking the network's 20th major upgrade. The change was applied smoothly without a network fork.
TenX has partnered with the Tezos Foundation and acquired XTZ to support staking within its validator operations, the parties said on Jan. 20, 2026. The move is intended to expand TenX’s validator capacity and provide more institutional backing for Tezos staking services.
