Ledger faces backlash over ending Nano S hardware wallet support
2025-06-30 18:30:06
Main Idea
Ledger faces criticism for discontinuing support for its Nano S hardware wallet, though the device will remain functional; the company cites technical limitations and offers discounts for upgrades.
Key Points
1. Ledger will end support for the Nano S hardware wallet on June 30, 2025, but the device will still function.
2. Users express frustration, as hardware wallets are often intended for long-term crypto storage, and some view the move as 'uncool' or 'scammy.'
3. The Nano S, released in 2016, lacks sufficient memory (320KB) to support new blockchain applications and updates, limiting its functionality.
4. Ledger recommends users upgrade to newer models (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Ledger Stax) and offers a 20% discount to Nano S owners.
5. Major apps like Bitcoin and Ethereum will remain functional on the Nano S, but it cannot support new features or clearer transaction signing.
Description
The wallet doesn’t have enough memory for more apps and features but should still function, the company says
