The change follows Bitwise’s February 2026 acquisition of Chorus One and leaves validator infrastructure, fees and staking rewards mechanics unchanged for Ledger Wallet users.
Bitwise has replaced the Chorus One name on its Ledger Wallet validator nodes with Bitwise branding across Solana, Cosmos and Injective. The update affects how validators appear in the Ledger Wallet app, where users now see “Ledger by Bitwise,” but does not change the underlying staking setup, fees or rewards mechanics. The rebrand completes the identity integration that followed Bitwise’s February 19, 2026 acquisition of Chorus One, which brought approximately $2.2 billion in staked assets across more than 30 proof-of-stake networks into the firm. Chorus One, founded in 2018, was one of the industry’s largest multi-chain institutional staking operators. Ledger Live users who delegated to the affected validators do not need to take any action. The main operational change is that the applicable terms of service have shifted from the previous Chorus One agreement to the Bitwise Onchain Solutions Terms of Service. The affected validators are the co-branded Ledger partnership validators shown as default staking options in Ledger Live, while other Chorus One validators outside that partnership are not directly affected. Bitwise folded Chorus One into Bitwise Onchain Solutions, or BOS, its institutional staking division. Bitwise manages over $15 billion in total client assets, and BOS has expanded its coverage to more than 30 proof-of-stake networks as the firm positions itself as a non-custodial staking infrastructure provider for institutional clients and self-custody users.
