Paris (France) and Nashville (United States), July 26, 2024 — Ledger, the leading global company in digital asset security for consumers and enterprises, today announced the availability of the Ledger Flex, its second new product launch so far in 2024. Coinciding with Ledger’s tenth anniversary, the Ledger Flex and the already available Ledger Stax mark the beginning of Ledger’s next generation of hardware.
These models feature a secure E Ink® touchscreen controlled by Ledger’s Secure OS. The Ledger Flex is now available at Ledger.com and through our international retail network for $249 USD, shipping immediately.
The Ledger Flex sets the new standard for Ledger devices. It features NFC technology and a secure E Ink® touchscreen at a very attractive price. The Ledger Flex pays tribute to the iconic black and steel design that has characterized Ledger devices for a decade, a reminder of Ledger’s tradition of uncompromising security. Its 2.8-inch high-resolution screen allows you to sign transactions or approve logins with clarity. E Ink® delivers unbeatable energy efficiency, so the battery can last weeks or even months on a single charge.
“After a decade setting the standard for security and self-custody for crypto and digital assets, I am proud to say that, once again, we have raised the bar,” said Pascal Gauthier, Chairman and CEO of Ledger. “With the launch of the Ledger Flex and the Ledger Stax this year, we are redefining what the self-custody experience should be. Ledger devices secure more than 20% of the world’s digital assets, and our new category of secure touchscreen devices will make self-custody more accessible than ever for more consumers and businesses.”
Secure signing devices will be essential in a future where Proof of Identity will be a critical element. As an ever-growing share of value becomes digital, users will need reliable methods to prove their identity. With the rapid advance of artificial intelligence, proving provenance has become one of technology’s greatest challenges, as it is increasingly difficult to trust what we see with our own eyes.
Ledger devices are the only devices in the world with a secure touchscreen, essential for protecting both your digital value and your identity. Ledger devices bring security to other devices that are inherently insecure.
With a decade of experience building devices with uncompromising security and a strong open-source developer ecosystem, Ledger is ready to protect a world in the midst of adopting artificial intelligence. While artificial intelligence creates abundance, blockchain is a natural ally thanks to its ability to create scarcity and guarantee authenticity. Ledger secures the blockchain and will develop applications aimed at solving Proof of Identity.
The starting point is a new app for the Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex models: Ledger Security Key, which offers Two-Factor Authentication 2FA and Passkey capabilities.
Passkeys are a secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords and can remove phishing from the list of security risk factors. With Ledger Security Key you can use your Ledger wallet to log in without having to remember your password or use a less secure 2FA method, such as browser extensions or SMS. This feature is based on the open FIDO 2 specification. It ensures decentralized cross-platform access and is already supported by Google, Amazon, Binance and Coinbase, among others. Simply connect your Ledger Flex or Ledger Stax to your smartphone to log in to supported services, or connect it via USB to your PC.
“If you don’t have a secure screen, you’re not safe. It’s that simple. The touchscreens of the Ledger Stax and the Ledger Flex are easy to use and the only truly secure ones in the world, as they have been tested by the Donjon and other labs,” said Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger.
“Digital property and artificial intelligence fakes are becoming more and more common, so asset security, proof of identity and proof of humanity matter more than ever. The Ledger Stax and the Ledger Flex feature a secure touchscreen, the ideal complement to the insecure touchscreen you carry in your pocket.”
The Ledger Flex is perfectly complemented by the industry-leading omnichain companion app, Ledger Live, which lets users connect seamlessly with their Ledger device. The Ledger Live app offers the most secure way to buy, sell, swap and grow your crypto. It is integrated with international providers such as Moonpay, Coinbase, PayPal and Lido. To date, Ledger supports more than 10,000 coins and tokens on more than 70 blockchains through Ledger Live, and approximately 200 dApps have been integrated into the Ledger ecosystem.
Embracing a future based on digital value requires a wider range of security options to ensure your digital value or identity is never lost. In 2023, Ledger launched Ledger Recover, a service provided by Coincover that allows users to encrypt, fragment and back up their Secret Recovery Phrase, and which is compatible with the Ledger Flex from launch, as well as with the previously available Ledger Stax.
With Ledger Recover you will never have to worry about regaining access to your wallet, even if you lose or destroy your physical backup of your Secret Recovery Phrase. With Ledger Live, Ledger Security Key and Ledger Recover you can enjoy a comprehensive digital ownership experience, only possible through the Ledger ecosystem.
The Ledger Flex is available starting today at Ledger.com and at all Best Buy stores in the United States for $249 USD. The special Ledger Flex BTC Edition is also available. In addition, accessories to protect your Ledger Flex are now available.
