Six months have passed since our first Ledger Op3n event in Paris. Since that day, we have made important announcements to make your Web3 experience more secure and user-friendly, including the launch of the Ledger Nano S Plus, the upcoming CL Card powered by Ledger and operated by Baanx*, the Developer Portal, Ledger Connect, Cardano support in Ledger Live and much more. 

With some crypto platforms currently freezing withdrawals due to harsh market conditions, self-custody is more important than ever. Thanks to your Ledger Nano, your money is truly yours. If it’s your money, you should own it. It’s as simple as that. In the near future, self-custodying your assets will be as natural as having a bank account today. 

During our latest Op3n event in NYC, we made important announcements ranging from Web3 Education to NFTs and, of course, hardware, with the intention of bringing ownership and security at the heart of your crypto life: 

• Ledger Market is our upcoming multi-chain first-sale distribution platform enabling artists to create, store and distribute NFTs seamlessly and securely. Ledger Market will simply be the only safe place to mint and buy NFTs while safely interacting with this ever-expanding world. 

• Ledger Enterprise Create, launched by Ledger Enterprise and now live, is our security-at-scale platform for brands to scale their Web3 operations with a key focus on NFTs, giving them the treasury management, NFT creation and ownership capabilities they need.

• Launching in September 2022, Ledger Quest is our new Web3 “play-to-learn” education platform. Ledger Quest aims at empowering communities to safely navigate this space. With Ledger Quest, you can test your crypto knowledge and get rewarded with NFTs. We also announced the Ledger Academy redesign, a refresh to the successful and comprehensive, immersive education platform that brings Web3 education to the masses. 

• With the recent release of the Ledger Nano S Plus, we made the choice to stop the production of our iconic Ledger Nano S and replace it with the Ledger Nano S Plus. This “Nano S on steroids” is more suited to the fast evolution of the Web3 industry and remains in the same price range. If you are a Ledger Nano S owner, it won’t change anything to your daily experience. Support will continue to be provided and device maintenance will be guaranteed. To commemorate the end of the production, the last 10K units to be produced, the Ledger Nano S Final Edition, will come with an exclusive POAP NFT created by the rising “what is real?” artist. Orders will begin on June 27th, 2022.

• Ledger Connect is our upcoming browser extension that securely connects Ledger hardware wallets directly to Web3 apps without third-parties wallet dependencies. We greatly value your opinion. You can already sign up for the Beta test now by clicking here.

• Our new ambassador program, Pro Team, invites innovators, leaders and creators in the Web3 space to join our mission of Web3 security and innovation. The first four members of our program will be Bobby Hundreds, Mike Shinoda, Dan Held and BETTY from Deadfellaz. Stay tuned for some special announcements and giveaways in honor of our new partners.

These announcements share a common goal: to securely power the next phase of the Web3 Revolution and enable a future where anyone can interact with Web3 assets with full self-sovereignty. 

This future is possible, but it needs secure, user-friendly platforms to thrive, as well as innovative educational tools to bring this digital shift to the next billion users. We see ourselves as key enablers in this regard. Stay tuned for many more upcoming news.
