Ledger, the global leader in Digital Asset security for consumers and organizations, today announced that Ledger Stax™, its innovative touchscreen device, is now shipping to pre-order customers.
Ledger has partnered with Tony Fadell, creator of the iPod®1, to provide transparency and confidence in the process of signing transactions and securing your digital value. Ledger Stax™ offers a convenient way to take control of your cryptocurrencies and digital assets. What’s more, it is built on an uncompromisingly secure architecture, with a unique structure designed specifically for unparalleled accessibility and interactivity.
New orders for Ledger Stax™ will be available in summer 2024, with priority access on a first-come, first-served basis for customers who wish to be notified. For more information, watch for the Bitcoin 2024 event taking place on July 26, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Ledger Stax™ features a first-of-its-kind curved E Ink®2 secure touchscreen that covers the front surface and curves around the back, allowing all transaction details to be seen at a glance. The E Ink® display stays on at all times, so even when Ledger Stax™ is switched off, your favorite artwork or photos appear on your device’s screen. Ledger Stax™ also offers unmatched energy efficiency! Once charged, the battery lasts for weeks or even months.
“Ledger has proven its ability to deliver truly innovative products by bringing Ledger Stax™ to market, backed by a best-in-class and secure supply chain,” said Pascal Gauthier, Chairman and CEO of Ledger. “This marks a new beginning for Ledger after a decade in business and sets a new standard for accessible, intuitive security. I would like to thank our manufacturing partners around the world who have helped us fulfill our vision for the next generation of Ledger devices.
Together with Layer, Tony Fadell designed Ledger Stax™ as a credit card-sized device with integrated magnets, making it easy to stack for users with multiple devices. The curved E Ink® spine shows what’s inside, like a book on a shelf. Ledger Stax™ uses USBC to connect to the comprehensive Ledger Live™ app on your laptop and Bluetooth®3 to connect to the Ledger Live mobile version app on your smartphone.
Ledger Stax™ also supports wireless Qi charging technology. “Crypto and NFTs pre-Ledger Stax were like MP3 files pre-iPod,” said Tony Fadell, godfather of the iPod and key figure in the Build Collective: both were very difficult to manage. My goal in designing the Ledger Stax experience was to make digital assets easy to manage,” he explains.
“Ledger Stax offers the world’s first curved E Ink secure touchscreen. It’s fun to use, the screen is always on and the battery lasts. And of course, it incorporates Ledger’s ten years of proven security experience!”
With the touch interface, Ledger’s community of expert developers will be able to build innovative Web 3.0 applications that are much more accessible without compromising security.
Ledger Live, a user-friendly app that works with all leading chains, allows users to seamlessly connect with Ledger devices. Ledger Live is the most secure way to buy, sell, exchange and monetize crypto and is integrated with global third-party service providers such as Moonpay, Coinbase, PayPal and Lido. Ledger currently supports over 10,000 coins and tokens across more than 70 blockchains on Ledger Live, and nearly 200 dApps are integrated into the Ledger ecosystem.

“Launching Ledger Stax™ with Tony Fadell in the bull market in the summer of 2024 heralds a new era for Ledger,” said Ian Rogers, Ledger’s Chief Experience Officer: “With Ledger Stax™, we are breaking two new grounds: The world’s first secure touchscreen and the world’s first curved E Ink® touchscreen in a consumer device. Combined with Ledger Live, these two innovations meet customers’ demand for ease of use across a range of services, from buying to HODLing, clearing to earning returns, without compromising on security and individual control.
Beyond that, we have built a world-class supply chain that allows us to continue to innovate and consistently create and deliver world-class products to our customers. We can’t wait to bring you Ledger Stax™ and we look forward to showing you what else we have in store for 2024.
