Things to know:

– In 2016, Ledger created what is now the world’s most popular hardware wallet to store your private keys and secure your digital assets: the Ledger Nano S. Six years later, the Nano S has fulfilled its goal to secure the digital assets of millions of users. 

– 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, the end of the production won’t change anything to your daily experience. Support will continue to be provided and device maintenance will be guaranteed, including for new features, critical bugs and vulnerabilities fixes.

– To commemorate the end of the production of the Ledger Nano S, 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.

The sunset of an iconic product

When it comes to security and trust, the secure-by-design Ledger Nano S has done a great job at securing your digital assets. It runs on Ledger’s own operating system, BOLOS, with a secure element chip. It keeps your private keys offline and secures your digital assets. At the time of writing, we have sold more than 3 million Nano S devices around the world.

But the reality is, the Web3 ecosystem is shifting at the speed of light and has consequently changed what our users demand more from us. With the recent release of the Ledger Nano S Plus, we made the logical choice to stop the production of our iconic Ledger Nano S.

The Ledger Nano S Plus is the must-have device to smoothly and securely explore DeFi, NFTs and Web3. Its bigger screen enables a better user experience. Its increased memory capacity allows the installation of +100 apps to freely explore the crypto galaxy. Just like the Ledger Nano S, the Nano S Plus is compatible with Desktop and Android Mobile with an USB cable.

Whether you buy, sell, swap, grow your digital assets, display an NFT, play a blockchain game or manage your digital identity, you don’t have to sacrifice either convenience or security. That is why the Nano S Plus makes absolute sense.

To commemorate the end of the production of this iconic product, the last 10K units to be produced will come with an exclusive POAP NFT created by the rising “what is real?” artist.

“What is real?” made a name for himself for his unique & inimitable style with skeletons and his collaboration with DAO Proof, the creators of Moonbirds. He also is one of the artists chosen by the rapper Snoop Dogg aka Cozomo de’ Medici (his NFT collector nickname) to be displayed on a Time Square ad’ during the NFT NYC 2022 event.

Orders will begin on June 27th, 2022. In the meantime, here is a preview of the NFT:

The Next Phase In Our Web3 Hardware Journey

Both newcomers and Web3 users need to understand that the next Internet generation is currently unfolding and creates new needs for secure hardware. Web3 is no exception. 

Across the world, the current market meltdown has increased third-party risks too, putting your digital assets in danger when stored by centralized custodians. The next generation of Web3 hardware that we are building combines three crucial properties for the Web3 revolution to thrive: self-custody, security and convenience. As an exponential number of people are set to enter the space, they need the convenience of Web2 combined with the security of Web3.

At Ledger, we are building security-focused hardware devices and – on top of that fundamental layer – creating hundreds of possibilities for users, artists, brands and enterprises to explore the fast expanding world of Web3.
