Ledger's official warning 🚨: Are you still using the Ledger Nano S? The official support has been officially terminated, raising concerns about asset security.
The CTO of hardware wallet giant @Ledger, @P3b7_, has officially announced that they will gradually terminate full support for their classic product, the Ledger Nano S. Since its launch in 2016, this product has been one of the most popular cold wallets on the market, but due to outdated hardware specifications, users are now advised to upgrade to newer models like the Nano S Plus or Flex.
Although the Nano S can still be used and assets remain secure, its memory capacity of only 320kb is insufficient to support the demands of modern crypto applications. For example, current mainstream applications such as running multiple applications simultaneously, Clear Signing, Ledger Sync, and cross-chain support for Uniswap, TON, ADA, etc., cannot be handled by the Nano S. Additionally, system language and interface updates are limited due to insufficient memory.
Ledger emphasizes that users of the Nano S do not need to transfer their assets; as long as they keep their 24-word recovery phrase safe, they can restore their wallet on any device that supports the BIP39 standard. To enjoy the latest features and enhanced security, the official recommendation is to upgrade, and a 20% discount is being offered.
Emergency News 🔴: @Ledger is preparing to abandon the Nano S cold wallet and will stop any updates for the old wallet. Did they not consider that users who bought the cold wallet might have concerns about potential security issues that could arise from its future usability? The official announcement states that the classic product, Ledger Nano S, is officially retired.
Ledger will no longer accept any app submissions, feature requests, or updates for the Nano S. From the development roadmap to user support, users must completely remove the Nano S from their product architecture. This is not a flexible adjustment; it is a necessity. Features will no longer progress, patches will no longer appear, and there will be no official oversight for security vulnerabilities. Ledger may not resolve issues for anyone.
Ledger states that it will release necessary technical documents, support tools, and transition recommendations to assist developers in smoothly terminating support for #NanoS. The most troublesome part is that developers must bear all risks and consequences for their device applications.
