The integration is vital due to the fact that it allows users to isolate their private account seeds from their devices such as smartphones and computers. As a result, the security is enhanced, and a chance of a third party gaining access to these accounts is reduced.
The collaboration will focus on security
Eric Larcheveque, Ledger’s CEO, stated that both IOTA and Ledger aim to provide their users with the security of the highest level. IOTA news that announced the collaboration between the two sparked development of a compatibility feature that would allow users to store, access, and manage their tokens on Ledger’s wallet.
The Ledger Nano S hardware wallet is created with an operating system called BOLOS. This is a system that is integrated into a secure chip. A lot of people are already familiar with this type of chip, as this exact one is used for passports, credit cards, and alike.
The final product is a platform resistant to tampering, and capable of providing a secure environment for data and various apps. Considering that hacking the secure chips is a very difficult process, devices are additionally secured. The fact that hardware wallets are usually used as cold wallets increases the security level even more, and this is what has allowed Ledger to develop such an excellent reputation as a strong, secure wallet in the first place.
IOTA’s co-founder, David Sonstebo, also commented that the team is excited to work with Ledger, but also proud of the community that has made the collaboration possible.
Ledger started off in 2014 as a security and infrastructure solution for blockchain and crypto. Since then, it had groundbreaking solutions that allowed it to rise up to the position of this industry leader. It has headquarters in San Francisco and Paris, and it employs over 200 professional developers and experts for various products and services.
The IOTA news that announced MIOTA being supported by Ledger came only a few weeks after Ledger adopted two other coins — Waves and EOS. In addition, Ledger also works on expanding its Ledger Live app, which is available on Linux, Windows, and Mac, and it serves as an all-in-one app for its users.
As for IOTA, the coin has yet to show any serious price jump caused by the new development. At the time of writing, IOTA is trading in red (by a fraction), with a price of $0.5029 per coin, and a 0.75% decrease in the last 24 hours. IOTA has made significant progress in 2018 when it comes to entering various collaborations. While the newest one is with Ledger, the biggest ones include different car makers who plan to use IOTA’s network for connecting new vehicles via the blockchain technology.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
