Firefly Support Ledger Nano Wallet

The IOTA Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Firefly 1.2.0, which introduces support for the Ledger Nano hardware wallet. It is now possible for Ledger users to migrate their funds to the new Chrysalis network, and experience the speed and reliability of the much-improved IOTA protocol. Firefly is currently available on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Firefly version 1.2.0 comes with USB support for Ledger Nano S and Ledger Nano X devices. The feature has been thoroughly tested by a group of ~50 community members over an extended period to ensure the app experience is as smooth as possible. The in-app information around the feature has been translated into over 20 languages by the community. And the code, libraries and Ledger BOLOS application have all undergone external audits.

Over $1 billion (1.3 Peta IOTA) has been migrated to Chrysalis so far. With the release of Ledger Nano, IOTA expect this number to increase dramatically. Several exchanges have also been awaiting Ledger support for their own integrations and they will be working with them to help them finalize Chrysalis support.

What next for Firefly?

The next main focus is on building Firefly Mobile. Following a similar approach to the desktop version, IOTA first ensure the core feature-set is robust, polished and intuitive to use before they add additional features. They  will be adding support for deep links in Firefly Desktop to enable other community applications (such as websites or web extensions) to initiate transfers in Firefly.

ABOUT IOTA
IOTA is an open-source distributed ledger and cryptocurrency designed for the Internet of things. It uses a directed acyclic graph to store transactions on its ledger, motivated by a potentially higher scalability over blockchain based distributed ledgers.
