Ledger also released a new application, Ledger Security Key, which is essential for “identity proof” and enables seamless login

PARIS & NASHVILLE, Tenn.–Ledger, a global leader in digital asset security for consumers and businesses, today announced Ledger Flex, its second new product for 2024. Launching alongside Ledger’s 10th anniversary celebrations, Ledger Flex, featuring a secure E Ink® touchscreen powered by Ledger Secure OS, and the previously announced Ledger Stax, marks a new generation of Ledger hardware. Ledger Flex is available starting today on Ledger.com and through our global retail partners for $249, with immediate shipping.

“Without a security screen, there is no security. Period. The easy-to-use secure touchscreens on Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex are the only truly secure touchscreens in the world and have been battle-tested by Donjon and third parties.”

Ledger Flex represents a new standard for Ledger devices, featuring NFC and a secure E Ink® touchscreen at an attractive price. Ledger Flex pays homage to the classic black and steel design that has been used on Ledger devices for a decade, and embodies Ledger’s tradition of uncompromising security. Its 2.8-inch high-resolution display clearly shows what’s happening when signing a transaction or approving a login. E Ink® is unmatched in energy efficiency, and the battery can last for weeks or even months on a single charge.

“After a decade of setting the standard for cryptocurrency and digital asset security and self-custody devices, I’m proud to say that we are raising the bar again,” said Pascal Gauthier, Chairman and CEO of Ledger . “This year’s launch of Ledger Flex and Ledger Stax redefined the self-custody experience. Ledger devices secure over 20% of the world’s digital assets, and the new secure touchscreen category will make self-custody more accessible than ever to more consumers and businesses.”

In a future where proof of identity is critical, secure signing devices are key. As more and more value is digitized, we need reliable methods of proving identity. The rapid development of artificial intelligence has made the question of true provenance a hot topic among the biggest technical challenges, and seeing is becoming increasingly difficult. Ledger devices are the only products in the world with secure touchscreens, making them essential to protecting your digital value and identity. Ledger devices bring security to inherently insecure devices.

With a decade of experience building impeccable security devices and a strong open source developer ecosystem, Ledger is ready to provide security for a world that fully adopts artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence enriches our world, and blockchain is a natural partner by creating scarcity and authenticity. Ledger ensures the security of the blockchain and will build applications to meet the needs of “identity proof”.

It all starts with a new app for Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex: Ledger Security Key, which provides two-factor authentication (2FA) and passkey functionality. Passkeys are a secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords and eliminate phishing as a security risk. With Ledger Security Key, you can log in with your Ledger wallet without having to call up your password or use less secure 2FA such as browser extensions or SMS. The feature is based on the open FIDO 2 specification, ensuring decentralized access across platforms and is currently compatible with platforms such as Google, Amazon, Binance, Binance, Coinbase, etc. Simply plug your Ledger Flex or Ledger Stax into your phone to log in to supported services, or connect it to your laptop or PC via USB.

“You can’t have security without a secure screen. Period. The easy-to-use secure touchscreens on Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex are the only truly secure touchscreens in the world and have been battle-tested by Donjon and third parties,” said Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger . “With the rise of digital ownership and AI-powered impersonation, digital asset security, proof of authenticity and identity are more important than ever. Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex are secure touchscreen devices that complement unsecured touchscreen devices.”

Ledger Flex works with Ledger Live, the leading full-chain companion app, to enable users to seamlessly connect with their Ledger devices. Ledger Live is the safest way to buy, sell, swap and earn returns on cryptocurrencies, and is integrated with global providers such as Moonpay, Coinbase, PayPal and Lido. To date, Ledger Live supports more than 10,000 coins and tokens on more than 70 blockchains, and about 200 dApps have been integrated into the Ledger ecosystem. Developers looking to develop on the Ledger ecosystem can view the updated developer portal here .

Moving toward a future based on digital value requires secure recovery options to ensure that your digital value or identity is never lost. In 2023, Ledger launched Ledger Recover, a service powered by Coincover, which allows users to encrypt, shard, and back up their own ciphertext recovery phrases, which supports Ledger Flex from the beginning in addition to the already available Ledger Stax. With Ledger Recover, there is no need to worry about recovering your wallet even if the physical backup of the ciphertext recovery phrase is lost or destroyed. With Ledger Live™, Ledger Security Key, and Ledger Recover, the entire digital ownership experience is only possible within the Ledger ecosystem.

The Ledger Flex is available today at Ledger.com and Best Buy nationwide for $249. A special edition Ledger Flex BTC is also available. Accessories to protect the Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex are shipping now.
