![]() We strongly believe in a future of secure and private financial sovereignty where crypto becomes the norm. Working with Ledger is an incredible opportunity to be part of shaping how the world interacts with their crypto assets. The design process generated a richly IP-driven product for Ledger to deliver a next-level cryptocurrency wallet to a new generation of users. At each stage, the LAYER team under the creative direction of Benjamin Hubert met with Ledger and Tony Fadell to discuss how to effectively and efficiently bring the game-changing product to life. ![]() The LAYER team worked creatively to produce dozens of design, engineering and prototyping iterations. These features enable Ledger’s users to manage their cryptocurrencies with Ledger Stax more effectively and magnetically stack multiple Ledger Stax on top or beside each other to better store and display their digital assets. The collaborative process explored the function, format, shape, size, UI, materiality and integration of a rolled e-ink touch screen. Over a two-year period, the LAYER team collaborated closely to bring Tony’s initial invention to life through multiple rounds of design and engineering at the design agency’s London studio. Ledger Stax was born from a close collaboration between Ledger, Tony Fadell ( the former senior vice president of the iPod division at Apple Inc and founder and former CEO of Nest Labs) & the design team at LAYER. The high-performance, durable metal casing gives the small device a reassuring weight in the hand, emphasising its secure nature while the soft edge and concave surfaces allow for easy grip and the single button and e-ink touchscreen offer simple, intuitive usability. The simple form of Ledger Stax plays on the idea of a ledger book, and is crafted from an aluminium chassis with an e-ink touchscreen that curves around the front surface and “spine”. The e-ink screen provides unmatched energy efficiency, so the battery can last for weeks or even months on one battery charge. The screen also creates a clear visual interface and a more personalised experience, with the option to display photographs or NFTs on the lockscreen. This gives users the ability to store and organise different portfolios on separate devices, while the energy-efficient e-ink screen that wraps around the front and spine of the Ledger Stax allows for clear labelling when stacked. The name “Stax” comes from the ability to magnetically stack the devices, as you would stack physical currency or conventional ledger books. The wallet keeps a user’s private key protected at all times in a certified secure chip, and any transaction must be verified on the device’s display and physically confirmed by the user. It also allows users to explore an ever-growing range of Web3 apps through the Ledger Live app, connecting it to your smartphone via Bluetooth. ![]() ![]() Ledger Stax is a hardware crypto currency wallet that allows users to securely manage 5,500+ crypto assets, including coins, tokens and NFTs, building on the world-leading brand’s secure platform. Ledger has the world’s best security for crypto and NFTs, but it needed a fresh look to revolutionise users’ Web3 experience. ![]()
