Ledger has announced a final batch of 10,000 new Ledger Blue units that can now be bought through Ledger’s official site.
It is important to mention that following this batch, the Ledger Blue will transition into being a core part of the LedgerVault enterprise offering.
What Is Ledger Blue?
Ledger Blue is one of the most advanced hardware wallets in the market. It allows users to boast multi application execution and packs the enterprise level crypto capabilities into a lightweight device.
The wallet is architected around a Secure Element that features a touchscreen and USB connectivity.
At the moment, each of these wallets can be bought on the official site for €281.67 and shipping start on Monday July the 9th.
The team behind Ledger has been working on the device for more than two years. One of the main features is that it includes a large touch screen that is one of the best in the market.
The wallet is based on a dual-chip architecture that embeds a ST31 Secure Element and a STM32 microcontroller. This allows the device to be completely isolated and secured. Additionally, it is powered by a lipo rechargeable batter and it can be connected with USB devices.
Moreover, the wallet has been designed for multiple secure applications because of its modular architecture. This means that it can run dedicated companion apps in full isolation on top of its firmware.
It is possible to add new cryptocurrencies or apps without risking or compromising the master seed. Furthermore, the transaction integrity is ensured by the WYSIWYS paradigm (What You see Is What You Sign).

Conclusion
