📰 Official Description from Ledger: Nano S will no longer receive update

Ledger, on May 30 in the spring update, Nano S devices for new applications, feature or security updates will no longer be offered, he said. As the reason for this step, the device was shown to be “limited storage capacity” and “failure to meet the current usage scenarios”. A previous announcement in April, users should pass to other Ledger models said.

The company recommends that users safely store 24 -word hidden recovery statements and obtain a new Ledger device. Otherwise, he warns that they will not get support in the face of technical problems that may occur in the future.

💥 The reaction in the community is great: “loyalty was punished”

Ledger’s announcement was almost late among social media users. Many users have learned this decision only after the update. The reactions are in tones of anger, astonishment and in some cases despair.

Pcaversaccio (Ethereum Developer):

“It was not very stylish Ledger… You are forcing people to move to the new device by eliminating the backward compatibility. Ledger was known as one of the most reliable brands, but now starting censoring the features is a serious break.”

Beau (Pudgy Penguins Security Manager):

“This transition decision is a serious disappointment. Everyone who uses Nano S should back up the seed words and move their assets to new wallets if necessary. You do not want to stay with the broken device when the updates stop.”

Juan (Nillion Ecosystem Member):

“Do they really make the existing devices dysfunctional? Are they forcing us to buy a new one? There is something wrong with this.”

🔐 Safety concerns: Are old devices at risk?

One of the most talked about topics among users is whether Nano S devices will continue to work safely, even if support is cut. Some users can work for basic operations of devices; However, because they do not receive the software update, he states that he may become vulnerable to security deficits over time.

Beau:

“Probably continues to work, but it becomes open to software failures or new threats without updates.”

Roman Semenov (Tornado Cash developer):

“I haven’t updated my Ledger device for years. I quit after cloud backup features. There is no need to update for basic functions.”

Ledger did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comments on the subject until he was published.

🧭 Evaluation: Is a new period in the hardware wallets?

Ledger’s termination of Nano S support is not just a product update; At the same time, he brought up a basic debate about the life cycle of crypto devices. Some users argue that this transition is understandable for a 10 -year hardware, but others think that user loyalty is ignored.

This development reminds the crypto investors that they should regularly check their hardware wallets, reconsider their backup procedures and re -evaluate devices that do not receive support for long -term use.
