Ledger Unveils $849 Atom Device To Secure Crypto, Apps And AI Activity
Summary
Ledger unveiled Atom, a smartphone-like device combining an Android-based app environment with a separate secure chip running Ledger OS. The company says the secure system takes over the display for sensitive approvals, including crypto transactions, identity checks and AI-agent actions. Hardware controls disable the camera and microphone. The Founders Edition costs $849 to reserve, with a refundable deposit option and estimated shipping in Q2 2027; Ledger warns that specifications and timing may change. The device remains in development, so its protections have yet to be tested in shipped hardware.
