Hardware wallet Ledger launches a browser plugin that allows users to interact directly while still being a cold wallet

ChainCatcher news, hardware wallet Ledger has launched a browser extension designed to provide an experience similar to that of crypto wallets like MetaMask. Ledger states that it is not a hot wallet, but still a cold wallet that allows users to interact directly with DApps via Bluetooth. Additionally, it has two features to ensure user security when interacting with crypto applications: analyzing smart contracts and warning users if a transaction may be malicious, and simulating transactions to show how they will affect the wallet.

According to reports, the company stated that the Ledger Extension is compatible with DApps and platforms based on Ethereum and Polygon, and plans to support more EVM-compatible chains and Solana in the future. The extension is currently only available for the Safari browser, with additional support for Chromium-based browsers planned for the future. (source link)
