Ledger Partners with POAP: Limited Edition NFT Hardware Wallet

 


Hardware wallet company Ledger announced on Tuesday that it would be releasing a limited edition brand new hardware wallet, the Ledger Nano S Plus. There are only 10,000 units available for pre-order, priced at $79 each. To this end, Ledger announced a global partnership with the Ethereum-based Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP).


POAPs are referred to as digital reminders in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) because they provide proof of attendance at important events. In January, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin pointed out the potential importance of soul-binding NFTs to enable a so-called proof of achievement . 


"Securing and protecting your digital memories, like the POAP you can get with your Ledger Nano S Plus, is a must for anyone building a life collection," said Lucas Verra, the CEO of POAP. The Genesis Edition of the Ledger Nano S Plus will be provided with a special engraving. Each package also includes a card that can be redeemed for a Genesis POAP NFT, allowing users to carry proof of this exclusive hardware wallet in their digital wallets as well. POAP will also shape special editions of NFTs for Ledger events in the future. Ian Rogers, Ledger's Chief Experience Officer, commented:


“This partnership with POAP and the launch of the Ledger Nano S Plus Genesis Edition at an affordable price point is a sign that digital assets are becoming more relevant to life experiences, and we aim to bring millions of people safely to the Web3 in the process ."

The Ledger Nano S Plus is the first hardware wallet Ledger has released since the Ledger Nano X launched in 2019. The company says it has sold over 4.5 million Ledger Nano hardware wallets and secures nearly 20 percent of the world's digital assets with its Ledger devices. The Nano S Plus supports all types of digital assets and thus over 5,500 coins and tokens as well as NFTs.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
