The new Ledger Nano S Plus is the next generation of the original Nano, which was released in 2016, and is tailored to the demands of NFT collectors, according to Ledger.

According to Ian Rogers, the company’s chief experience officer, the new Ledger Nano S Plus is the company’s sixth hardware wallet since the HW1 was debuted in 2015. The product is also Ledger’s first hardware wallet since the launch of the Ledger Nano X in 2019.

The Nano S Plus, paired with Ledger Live’s latest adoption of “clear signing” technology, intends to give Web3 customers a safer user experience. While the new Ledger wallet enables the secure administration of NFT transactions out of the box, Rogers points out that some prior editions of the Ledger wallet did as well:

“Ledger Nano users have always been able to store NFTs on their devices through partners, on the Ledger Nano X, and now Ledger’s software application Ledger Live prioritizes NFT support where users can view their NFTs in Ledger Live and securely transact through clear signing.”

According to the executive, clear signing technology attempts to convey all of the terms of a transaction, eliminating the possibility of “blind signing,” or consenting to a potentially risky transaction.

In the aftermath of a significant phishing attempt targeting the world’s largest NFT marketplace OpenSea in February, Ledger chief technology officer Charles Guillemet warned users about the risks of blind signing blockchain transactions.

Ledger announces limited edition of the Nano S Plus

The latest news comes just a few weeks after Ledger announced a limited edition of the Ledger Nano S Plus in early March, with 10,000 units available for pre-order at $79 apiece.

So far, HW1, Unplugged, Blue, Nano S, Nano X, and Nano S Plus have sold over 4.5 million wallets, and the business has launched six other wallets. So far, the corporation has halted the production of the first three generations.

Ledger is one of the world’s major providers of hardware cryptocurrency wallets, which are physical devices that store a user’s private keys. It was founded in 2014.
