According to TechCrunch, hardware wallet Ledger has launched a browser plug-in that aims to provide a similar experience to crypto wallets such as MetaMask. Ledger says it is not a hot wallet, but a cold wallet that allows users to interact directly with DApps via Bluetooth. Additionally, it has two features that ensure users’ security when interacting with crypto applications: analyzing smart contracts and warning users if a transaction may be malicious, and simulating a transaction to show how it will affect the wallet.

The company says the Ledger Extension is compatible with Ethereum- and Polygon-based DApps and platforms, and plans to support more EVM-compatible chains and Solana in the future. This plug-in is currently only available for Safari browsers
