Ledger is adding a browser extension for Safari called Ledger Connect, which allows Ledger hardware wallet users to easily connect to Web 3 applications without requiring third-party dependencies. Ledger Connect also has a security layer that alerts customers when certain applications appear suspicious.
- The new feature will initially be compatible with Ledger Nano X and Mobile Safari. Ledger will be compatible with Ethereum and Solana during the beta phase before expanding to other protocols, the company said in a blog post Tuesday.
- In addition, Ledger says support for its Ledger Nano S Plus and Desktop will come at a later date.
- Charles Hamel, VP of product at Ledger, said the development is intended to simplify the process of setting up a wallet for users, as it connects the wallet directly to a browser without "hackable software in the middle."
