Ledger's new Nano Gen5 is a crypto 'signer'
Ledger just dropped the Nano Gen5, calling it a "signer" instead of your usual hardware wallet.
For $179, you get a sleek device that keeps your private keys locked down with a high-security chip and lets you approve blockchain transactions with confidence.
The device comes with an E Ink display
Nano Gen5's standout feature is its 2.76-inch E Ink touchscreen—what you see on the screen is exactly what you're signing, so there are no surprises.
It connects via Bluetooth and NFC, works seamlessly with Ledger's updated app for swapping crypto or using dApps, and uses Clear Signing to translate complex transactions into plain language.
The Transaction Check tool even scans for sketchy contracts before you hit approve.
It also offers a bunch of security features
Your private keys never leave the Secure Element chip, keeping them safe from hacks or physical theft.
Unlike some wallets that use iris scans or biometrics, Nano Gen5 keeps things simple—no personal data collected.
Plus, you can personalize your device with collectible badges designed by Susan Kare and back up everything with a Recovery Key for peace of mind.
