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, your money is truly secure and yours to control. 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. 

Ledger’s announcements unveiled today include Ledger Market, a multi-chain first-sale distribution platform; Ledger Connect, a browser extension that securely connects Ledger hardware wallets directly to Web3 sites and apps; Ledger Quest, a Web3 play-to-learn education platform; Ledger Academy Redesign, a refresh to the successful and comprehensive, immersive education platform that brings Web3 education to the masses; Ledger Enterprise Create, our security-at-scale platform for brands to scale their Web3 operations; and Freedom by Design, led by Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet, which reinforces Ledger’s commitment as a leader on privacy technology for the blockchain.

These announcements come amid growing concern for the security of cryptocurrency and digital assets as 3 Billion Dollars were stolen in 2021 by hackers and scammers, with increased scrutiny of Web3 presenting challenges for most crypto platforms and exchanges. Ledger secures 45 out of 100 top of the top transactions on OpenSea, 40% of Bored Apes and top NFT communities, and billions in assets through its Enterprise business. Now available in over 9 languages and shipping worldwide, Ledger’s mission is more important today than ever, giving users and creatives the most secure tools across Web3 in an environment where users increasingly face challenges using Web2 technology to protect Web3 value. 

“We couldn’t be more proud that Ledger now secures over 20 percent of the world’s crypto, with over 5 million devices sold and omni-chain offerings that provide end-to-end security at scale through all of Web3. While the world is focused on the bear market and who will survive, we are building and preparing for the next wave of crypto adoption. We believe in the revolution of value, and encourage you to join us in this undeniable future,” said Ledger CEO and Chairman Pascal Gauthier.

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:

For Sebastien Badault, VP Metaverse & Web3 at Ledger, “Ledger Market’s value proposition is three-fold. First, it is built on Ledger’s world class security standards. NFTs are fantastic and trigger emotional attachment, losing them because of scammers simply shouldn’t happen. Full stop. Second, Ledger Market is built to be inclusive. It will be accessible to creators, brands, and newbies. Third, Ledger Market is a turnkey solution enabling true ownership and control over NFTs, from minting to storing, for all industry players.”

“BRICK is hyped to partner with Ledger Marketplace for our first release. When it comes to style, taste & curation Ledger has proven to be a cut above the rest while navigating through the Web3 space. Ledger’s ethos align with BRICK from a cultural standpoint when it comes to building community driven spaces that provide tools & knowledge to the youth. With that being said we can’t wait to see what the future brings on with this new partnership,” said BRICK, Ledger Market launch partner.

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.
