The Ledger Flex sets the new standard for Ledger devices, featuring NFC and a secure E Ink® touchscreen at an attractive price point. The Ledger Flex pays homage to the iconic black and steel motif featured on Ledger devices for a decade, a reminder of Ledger’s uncompromising security heritage. Its 2.8″ high-resolution display provides clarity when signing transactions or approving logins. E Ink® delivers unmatched power efficiency, so the battery can last for weeks or even months on a single charge.
“After a decade of setting the standard for security and self-custody in crypto and digital assets, I’m proud to say we’re raising the bar again,” these Pascal Gauthier, Chairman and CEO of Ledger. “By launching Ledger Flex and Ledger Stax this year, we are redefining the self-custody experience. Ledger devices already protect over 20% of the world’s digital assets, and our new secure touchscreen category will make self-custody more accessible than ever to more consumers and businesses.”
Secure signature devices are critical to a future whereProof of You becomes essential. As more of our value becomes digitized, society will need reliable methods to prove identity. The rapid advancement of AI puts provenance at the forefront of technology’s biggest challenges, and trusting what you see becomes increasingly difficult. Ledger devices are the only products in the world with secure touchscreens, making them essential for protecting both your digital value and your identity. Ledger devices bring security to your inherently insecure devices.
With a decade of developing uncompromising secure devices and a robust ecosystem of open-source developers, Ledger is ready to secure a world embracing AI. Where AI creates abundance, blockchain is a natural partner in creating scarcity and authenticity. Ledger secures the blockchain and will build applications to meet the need for Proof of You.
This starts with a new app for Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex: Ledger Security Key, which provides two-factor authentication (2FA) capabilities, and Passkey. Passkeys offer a secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords and can eliminate phishing from your security risk factors. With Ledger Security Key, you can use your Ledger wallet to log in without having to retrieve your password or use a less secure 2FA like a browser extension or SMS. This feature is phased in with the open FIDO 2 specification, ensuring decentralized access across platforms, and is already supported by Google, Amazon, Binance, Coinbase, and more. Simply tap your Ledger Flex or Ledger Stax to your phone to log in to supported services, or connect via USB to your laptop or PC.
“Without a secure display, you’re not secure. Period. Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex’s secure, easy-to-use touchscreens are the world’s only truly secure touchscreens, field-tested by Donjon and third parties.” these Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger. “With digital property and AI forgeries on the rise, digital asset security, proof of humanity, and identity verification are more crucial than ever. Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex are the secure touchscreens to match the insecure touchscreen in your pocket.”
Ledger Flex has partnered with Ledger Live, the leading omni-chain companion app that allows users to seamlessly connect with their Ledger device. Ledger Live is the most secure way to buy, sell, exchange and earn yield on your cryptocurrency, integrated with international providers such as Moonpay, Coinbase, PayPal and Lido. To date, Ledger supports over 10,000 coins and tokens across 70+ blockchains on Ledger Live, and nearly 200 dApps have been integrated into the Ledger ecosystem. Developers looking to enhance the Ledger ecosystem can check out our updated developer portal here.
Embracing a future built on digital value requires secure recovery options that ensure your digital value or identity is never lost. In 2023, Ledger launched Ledger Recover, powered by Coincover, a service that allows users to encrypt, shred, and backup their recovery passphrase, supporting Ledger Flex from launch, in addition to Ledger Stax already available. With Ledger Recover, you never have to worry about regaining access to your wallet, even if your physical backup of your Recovery Passphrase is lost or destroyed. With Ledger Live, Ledger Security Key, and Ledger Recover, the full digital ownership experience is present and possible only in the Ledger ecosystem.
The Ledger Flex is available today on Ledger.com and at Best Buy across the U.S. for $249. A special edition Ledger Flex BTC is also available. Accessories to protect your Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex are shipping now.
