Ledger, a leading hardware wallet manufacturer, has announced the release of its latest product, the Ledger Flex wallet. Building on the design and E Ink touchscreen interface of its predecessor, the Stax model, the Flex aims to enhance user security in an increasingly AI-driven world by offering “Proof of You.”
Priced at $249, the Ledger Flex is positioned below the premium $399 Ledger Stax in the company’s product lineup. The Flex features a 2.8” E Ink capacitive touchscreen display with a 600 x 480 pixel resolution, but without the Stax’s Tony Fadell-designed curved screen. The wallet is available in two color options: Ledger’s signature black and silver, and a special orange BTC Edition variant.
“Our new secure touchscreen category will make self-custody more accessible than ever before for more consumers and enterprises,” said Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier in a press release.
Weighing 57.5g, the Flex includes USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC connectivity within its 78.40 mm × 56.50 mm × 7.70 mm frame. The device promises “weeks or even months on one charge” thanks to its efficient battery.
At the heart of the Ledger Flex is the company’s Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 6 certified secure element, which generates and stores the user’s private keys and powers Ledger’s secure screen. This secure element is part of Ledger’s unique approach, incorporating its proprietary operating system, BOLOS, and supported by Donjon, a dedicated team of white-hat hackers tasked with identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in the hardware and software.
