![]() If you think about the future, the problem that we’re trying to solve is a very difficult problem. So hardware wallet, it gives you the same security, whether it’s in cold or hot, whether you want it becomes cold or hot. I need to connect that phone again to the internet. So it’s very different from cold storage, where if you put something in cold storage, meaning you put your phone disconnected from the web in a dark room, the problem becomes, okay, now I need to make a transaction. And so you can actually do transactions with your hardware wallet with the same level of security than when you’re not using your crypto, basically. And so it’s often mistaken for cold storage, which it is when it’s not connected.īut as soon as you connect your hardware online, it is actually online, but the hardware actually protects you from online intrusion. But also, now when you want to engage with the blockchain and make a transaction, it protects your secrets when you do the connectivity. Because the hardware, what it does, of course, when you don’t touch it, it protects your secrets at rest. So secure hardware and firmware inside is the best way to protect your secrets today and to interact with your secrets. ![]() It looks like it’s a secure server, but it’s the same problem. We do the same for enterprise, by the way, with a slightly different hardware. ![]() And so, very simply, I guess, what you have on your credit card here, the chip and pin technology, this is what we use to protect your secrets.Īnd so right now, hardware wallet and Ledger is the best form of security that there is in the market to protect secrets. So taking your private key or taking control of your private key, copying your private key is the way to steal your crypto. And therefore with the private key, you can access the Bitcoin that is in the blockchain and move it to an address that you wouldn’t know. And so you under everybody understands that if you share your secret with someone, or if someone takes you secret, then it’s no longer a secret. If you own a Bitcoin, Ethereum, an NFT, to own that Bitcoin, you own a cryptographic private key. On what they are today, the problem is very simple, I would say if you. There are what hardware wallets are today, and what they will be tomorrow. What is thee fundamental benefit of having a hardware wallet? Ledger is many things, but it’s mostly known as the world’s number one hardware wallet. ( Crypto Driven is a team effort – many thanks to my FirstMark colleagues Dan Kozikowski, Katie Mills and Diego Guttierez) Some of the new products announced at Ledger’s bi-annual flagship event, Ledger Op3n, including Ledger Market, a new secure NFT Platform, and Ledger Enterprise Create, a secure platform for brands to scale their Web3 operations with a key focus on NFTs, giving them the treasury management, NFT creation and ownership capabilities they need.Ledger Enterprise, the company’s B2B offering.Ledger Live, the company’s app and software platform for buying, selling, swaping and staking crypto.what core technology exists within a Ledger device.the fundamental benefits of hardware to secure digital assets.We had a wide ranging conversation, covering in particular: ![]() It was great to get a chance to chat with Ledger’s CEO, Pascal Gauthier, in the context of Crypto Driven. Over 15% of the world’s crypto assets are secured through Ledger Nanos, with more than 4 millions units already sold in 180 countries.īut Ledger goes much beyond hardware, providing apps and services through Ledger Live, enterprise solutions, and more. Ledger is mostly known as the world’s top provider of hardware wallets. Since its creation in 2014, Ledger (in which FirstMark is a very proud investor) has rapidly evolved to become one of the key global players in the entire crypto and web3 ecosystem.
