Ledger’s Sunset Plan For OG Nano S Draws Ire
Summary
Ledger announced the discontinuation of support for the Nano S hardware wallet, ceasing acceptance of new applications, feature submissions, and app updates. Launched in 2016, many devices are nearing 10 years old. Users are expressing anger and disappointment on social media, feeling pressured to upgrade to newer devices. Concerns have been raised about potential security risks and the functionality of the Nano S without ongoing support. Users are advised to back up their 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase and consider transferring assets to new wallets. Some users question Ledger's decision to deprecate existing devices, while others note that the device may still function but without updates, increasing the risk of security issues.
