Ledger announces wallet focused on tokens from the Solana ecosystem
Ledger, a renowned manufacturer of hardware wallets for crypto assets, announced a new version of its Ledger Flex focused on the Solana blockchain ecosystem (SOL). Launched during the Solana Accelerate conference in New York, the new Ledger Flex Solana Edition is customized with the network's colors and features exclusive functionalities aimed at Solana users, such as enhanced support for SPL tokens and a new identification model via SoulBound Tokens — non-transferable tokens that provide a unique identity to the wallet and may grant access to future rewards.
The initiative marks a new phase for Solana, which has been recovering after the collapse of FTX, its former supporter. In 2024, Solana experienced significant growth, becoming a leader in the launch of new tokens, driven by the popularity of memecoins.
In addition to the exclusive design and integration with Solana features, the new Ledger also maintains support for other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The proposal is to offer a robust security experience, with complete control of private keys and conveniences for consolidating and transacting digital assets securely within the Solana ecosystem.
According to Dan Albert, executive director of the Solana Foundation, the device represents more than just a wallet: it serves as a “passport” for future experiences and rewards in the Solana universe. Ian Rogers, experience director at Ledger, emphasized that the network's growth demands security solutions compatible with its scalability and engaged community.
The Solana edition of the Ledger Flex represents the union of security and customization, aiming to strengthen the adoption and use of the Solana blockchain amidst the resurgence of its prominence in the crypto scene.
