According to Blockworks, crypto firm Ledger introduced a new security product at this year’s Bitcoin Conference, continuing its product lineup refresh for 2024. The new hardware wallet, named Ledger Flex, features a touchscreen and is the second new product from the Paris-based company this year, following the earlier release of Ledger Stax.

Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier stated that the company’s devices already secure more than 20% of the world’s digital assets. He emphasized that the new secure touchscreen category aims to make self-custody more accessible for both consumers and enterprises. Founded in 2014, Ledger has sold approximately six million devices over the past decade. The Stax product was designed by Tony Fadell, a tech executive known for his role in developing the iPod.

The new offerings, including the Flex and Stax products, feature touchscreens that provide proof-of-humanity and proof-of-identity capabilities. These features are intended to help protect against the increasing challenges posed by AI, according to Ledger. Additionally, a new app called Ledger Security Key offers two-factor authentication and passkey functionalities for these devices. Gauthier mentioned in a May blog post that the company had begun shipping Ledger Stax devices, and Ledger Flex is set to start shipping immediately.

The CEO also noted that the “first-of-its-kind display” on the Stax was more challenging to mass-produce than initially expected. He expressed optimism about the future, stating that the crypto revolution will significantly change how people own and manage value in the coming years. However, he pointed out that current smartphones and laptops lack the necessary security features to support this transition.

These product launches follow a “supply chain attack” on Ledger’s ConnectKit in December, which was described as a phishing attack on a former employee. Gauthier called it an “unfortunate isolated incident” and pledged to compensate the victims. Ledger continues to focus on enhancing security and accessibility in the crypto space.
