Ledger Blue Description 2024

(1 vote)

The Ledger Wallet Blue is the latest hardware wallet from Ledger and impresses with its even easier operation. This model now also has a touch screen and improved connectivity via Bluetooth.

Ledger Blue makes hardware wallets even more convenient

Ledger Blue is the most advanced hardware security equipment on the market. It has multi-application execution and combines enterprise-level crypto capabilities with a lightweight handheld device. Manufactured and developed in France, it meets the highest standards. It is built around a secure element, with a touch screen and USB & Bluetooth connectivity.

A powerful and flexible device

Ledger Blue is the latest product from Ledger, which has been developed over two years of research and development. This high-end device embeds a large touch screen to securely manage transactions and complex, intelligent contracts. Its smooth, yet rugged housing incorporates best-in-class technology built on the Blockchain Open Ledger (BOLOS) platform.

The hardware features

The Blue Ledger is based on a dual-chip architecture that integrates an ST31 SecureElement and an STM32 microcontroller. It has a touch screen with LED backlighting for easy navigation and transaction validation. It is powered by a Lipo battery and communicates with USB or Bluetooth devices.

Each app has its own security area

Thanks to its modular architecture, the Ledger Blue executes several dedicated companion apps in full isolation via the firmware. The strong security model allows you to add new cryptocurrencies or apps without endangering the master key. Transaction integrity is ensured by the WYSIWYS paradigm (What You See Is What You Sign). The flexibility of the device allows the user to use the device in the firmware that can support any type of block chain.

FAQ 2

Ask your own question

If you buy cryptocurrencies through Coinbase and store them there, Coinbase is in possession of your private keys and could theoretically disappear with your cryptocurrencies at any time.
Therefore, it is recommended not to keep the coins on exchanges, but to transfer them to wallets, where one is the only one in possession of the private keys.

You should therefore consider sending the coins from your Coinbase Wallet to your Ledger Wallet. For a possible later sale, you can simply send the coins from the hardware wallet back to Coinbase.

How to transfer coins from Coinbase to your hardware wallet

  1. Generate a new address via your hardware wallet. For example, open the Ledger Live software and select the “Receive” option for the corresponding account. Copy the displayed address to your cache.
  2. In Coinbase, you now navigate to your portfolio page and select the appropriate wallet from which you want to send.
  3. In the Send dialog box, select the wallet address option because you want to send to a wallet outside of Coinbase. Copy the address of the hardware wallet into the corresponding field.
  4. Enter the amount of cryptocurrency you want to send into the Amount field.
  5. Select Next and confirm the transaction details to complete the sending. Make sure that the address matches the one copied from the hardware wallet.

Ledger Blue was launched on the market in November 2016.
