Former iPod Designer Helps Launch New Hardware Wallet as Ledger Begins Shipping
A groundbreaking hardware crypto wallet, created by the mastermind behind Apple’s iconic iPod, is currently being delivered to customers. The French startup responsible for manufacturing the device has announced in a recent blog post that the Ledger Stax wallet is now being shipped to customers who pre-ordered it.
Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier expressed his excitement about the milestone, stating, “Today is a significant day for Ledger. I am pleased to announce that we have begun shipping our next-generation device, Ledger Stax, to our pre-order customers. The first batch of pre-orders will be dispatched in the following weeks, and new orders will be available worldwide in the summer of 2024. I will provide further details during Bitcoin Nashville 2024 on July 26th, so stay tuned.”
The Ledger Stax was initially unveiled 18 months ago, and Gauthier took the opportunity to highlight its distinctive features. He stated, “This device boasts several groundbreaking features. It is the first hardware wallet to incorporate a secure touchscreen, driven by a secure element chip, which is crucial for ensuring crypto security. Additionally, it features the world’s first curved E-Ink display, constructed using organic semiconductor materials on plastic substrates instead of traditional silicon materials on glass. Moreover, the screen is designed to operate at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius.”
Gauthier also emphasized the user-friendly nature of the Ledger Stax, thanks to the companion app Ledger Live. He stated, “With our Ledger Live companion app, the Ledger Stax offers the most intuitive and secure wallet for storing, owning, and managing your digital assets. Furthermore, Ledger Stax is compatible with a wide range of apps that can be explored through the Discover section of Ledger Live. This device represents a significant leap towards making digital ownership accessible to everyone, not just tech-savvy individuals.”
