Zondax, a Ledger partner, brings expertise in blockchain security. We develop & test Ledger apps, ensuring a user-friendly Web3 experience.

Protecting your digital assets is non-negotiable in the world of Web3. Whether you prefer the convenience of a hot wallet (software applications like mobile apps or browser extensions) or the robust security of a cold wallet (offline, physical devices). Zondax plays a crucial role in this ecosystem through our partnership with Ledger. We bring our deep expertise to enhance the security, accessibility, and user-friendliness of blockchain technology, empowering users to confidently navigate the Web3 landscape.

Here’s an overview of our work around Ledger and how we’ve helped to shape the future of  blockchain.

Ledger App Development: Securely Bridging Users and Blockchains

Zondax specializes in the development of Ledger applications that enable secure interactions between users and a wide range of blockchain networks. Our team collaborates closely with blockchain projects to engineer tailored applications that adhere to the stringent security requirements of Ledger hardware wallets.

Each application undergoes rigorous development and testing processes, including:

  • Secure coding practices: Adherence to industry best practices and security audits to minimize vulnerabilities.

  • Functional testing: Comprehensive testing across various scenarios to ensure reliable performance.

  • Compatibility testing: Verification of compatibility with different Ledger device models and firmware versions.

Our Ledger applications support a diverse range of functionalities, including:

  • Cryptocurrency management: Secure storage, sending, and receiving of various cryptocurrencies.

  • Staking: Participation in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks to earn rewards.

  • Governance: Interaction with decentralized governance mechanisms.

Ledger Live Integration: Expanding Multi-Chain Accessibility

Ledger Live serves as a gateway to the decentralized world, and Zondax is actively involved in expanding its multi-chain capabilities. We leverage the Ledger Live Accounts API to integrate new blockchains, providing users with a unified platform to manage their assets across different networks.

Our integration process includes:

  • API integration: Seamless integration with the Ledger Live Accounts API to ensure compatibility.
