More than a decade after issuing its first hardware wallet, Ledger is rolling out its latest model.
Released on Thursday, the Ledger Nano Gen5 features many of the same features as the company’s suite of hardware wallets, including an e-ink screen, secure signing, and tap-to-unlock support via a near-field communication protocol.
At $179 retail, the device also comes with Ledger’s security key, a physical device roughly the size of a credit card that can be used in lieu of a seed phrase to unlock the wallet.
