This unpatchable vulnerability makes it more clear than ever that using your phone or computer to secure your private keys may be convenient, but it comes at the cost of security.Our CTO Charles Guillemet has spent his whole career studying cryptography, and he knows these types of attacks well. He sat down with our CXO Ian Rogers to discuss what this new vulnerability is, how it works, and why hardware wallets are the best way to keep your assets secure.

Under newly proposed U.S. Treasury rules, potentially effective 2025, people providing certain DeFi websites, NFT marketplaces, crypto wallets, or other services “facilitating” crypto sales would have to make a decision: centralize, shut down, or block all U.S. users (and possibly VPNs).
Under this backdrop, we invited policy leads from Block, Metamask and Blockchain Association to talk about their experience with the now delayed regulation and the implications for self-custody.

Brice Partouche is the founder, creative director and CEO of Satisfy Running, a clothing brand that makes thoughtfully designed and functional clothing for active people such as runners and rock climbers.
Brice's approach to brand building stems from his roots in skateboarding and punk rock, but is applicable to anyone building a brand in the age of the internet. Anyone building a brand will identify with or be inspired by his approach of self-expression, patience, and audience.
Also, Satisfy has made some early and interesting forays into marrying Web3 with their physical products without ever compromising their idealistic brand.

In this conversation with Mel, one of the leading experts in tokenomoics, we covered a lot of ground. When we say tokenomics, what do we mean? Where does that begin and where does that end? We discuss building web3 brands from the ground up and building web3 strategy for established brands. We discuss the importance of understanding culture, sub cultures, and how people interact when thinking about brands and problem solving. We discuss which brands are “ready” to be leaders in the Web3 space. We discuss “on-chain memory” and how that could change marketing and audience targeting. We also discuss the future “features of a wallet” and how that will give users sovereign choice over what they choose to share about themselves. Finally, we very briefly discuss the applications of crypto in a world with AI. “What you need when AI is everywhere is the ability to verify what is real.” There is a ton to learn from this one so we hope you are as inspired as we were after listening to this conversation.

On the second episode of our series in collaboration with FWB, Ian and Zoe talk to Sarah Drinkwater. She just launched an early stage VC fund in the UK called Common Magic where she invests in companies with community at their core. In this conversation they talk about the philosophy behind a community driven investment thesis, the ebb and flow of communities in the DAO space, and the culture that drives it all. They also get into what it means to do a graduate degree in magic, a shift from hierarchical company structures to collective structures, and progressive decentralization. Sarah gives advice on how to be a working mom, how to be a founder in a down market, and reminds us to “seek unusual influences.” At the heart of the conversation is the concept of community and how important it is to surround yourself by good and curious humans. Hopefully, it will leave you excited about the future of Web3 and of community driven companies more broadly.

In this first episode in a series of conversations with Ledger and Friends With Benefits, we talk to the Mayor of FWB Alex Zhang about building DAOs and community business in general. We talk about the desires of communities to diverge over time and the desires of companies to make money and how to balance those two things from a perspective of community incentives and ownership. We talk about how to keep community cool, when nothing can stay cool forever, and how to put structures in place to keep companies cool through different cycles.
FWB is one of the first community owned social DAOs and it is new kind of social network. It started by asking the question, “can you contain cultural value in a crypto asset”? We talk about how to align community incentives, learnings from the first couple of years of FWB, and where the DAO is headed in the near term. We talk about how it works to govern a DAO by voting, different voting regimes, and whether you can build a successful brand “by democracy.” We talk about Network States, startups, DAOs and the parallels between all of them. Finally we talk about taking a URL community into IRL experiences. We discuss FWB FEST22 and how we brought FWB to life and what to expect at FWB FEST23.
Finally, we discuss the tools that FWB is building like Gatekeeper and the FWB App where you can track events, participate in FWB governance, and interact with other members of the FWB community with an eye toward eventually moving away from discord and into the app as the ultimate digital home.

In a world where your wallet becomes an essential pillar of your on-chain identity, Ethereum Naming Services, mostly known as ENS, is more than just an address – it's a social identifier. And the market has caught up with this idea, with some ENS names selling for astonishing valuations in recent Years Austria 2023 Ledger, we knew this was one thing missing on Ledger Live. There was no way to use ENS when sending digital assets on Ethereum. Now, there is. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, ENS is a decentralized naming service that replaces long, complicated blockchain addresses with easy-to-remember names, making transactions faster, simpler, and more user-friendly.But how were they founded? How can you get one? How much does one cost? And why and how are we shifting from human readable ETH addresses to proper usernames for digital value and identities? In this new episode of On The Ledger, we’re glad to have Alisha dot Eth, Alisha the Governance Lead at ENS and a podcast regular Fabrice Dautriat, Ledger’s Head of Platform.

A couple of weeks ago, Trust Wallet and Ledger shared some public news on an exploit that we spotted and fixed months ago. It’s a vulnerability the Ledger Donjon luckily found only 3 days after the release of a Trust Wallet software solution. The security experts at Ledger's Donjon reported the vulnerability to the Trust Wallet team so that it got fixed, and so that users’ funds remained safe. It ’s also a vulnerability that demonstrates how the Ledger Donjon works: its researchers do not just work on Ledger products, but on other companies' products as well, to make the entire ecosystem stronger and safer.
In this new episode of On the Ledger, Ledger’ CTO Charles Guillemet and CXO Ian Rogers investigate the methods and ethics of the Ledger Donjon, the making and the outcomes of this specific exploit, and how it also helped other security researchers.
