December 2024 - Version 5.4.0

EIP-1559

We're excited to announce support for EIP-1559 transactions on the Ethereum network. This enhancement allows for more predictable transaction fees through an improved gas fee mechanism. With EIP-1559 support, your transactions can now include both a base fee and priority fee, helping to reduce overpayment and providing better fee estimation. This update streamlines the transaction process by automatically adjusting gas fees based on network demand, potentially leading to cost savings and faster confirmation times. You can now take advantage of this feature directly through your Vault workspace when sending Ethereum transactions.

Tradelink Settlement and Withdrawal flows

Settlement UI is creating a distinct Settlement approval flow for Asset Manager and Custodians when an exchange initiates a settlement. Traditionally, this looked like a regular transaction flow which could be quite confusing for these users when they were expecting a settlement.

Withdrawal is simply changing the nomenclature of transaction flows in collateral accounts so that it more closely aligns with nomenclature in trading institutions (from Send and Receive to Withdraw and Deposit).

November 2024 - Version 5.2.0

Replace by Fee

Ledger Enterprise users (operators) now have access to Replace by Fee (RBF) on the Bitcoin Network. RBF is a feature that lets you manage your Bitcoin transactions more efficiently. With RBF, you can replace an unconfirmed transaction in the Bitcoin mempool with a new transaction that includes a higher fee. This incentivizes miners to prioritize and confirm your transaction faster, especially during times of network congestion.

How to Use RBF To use RBF in the Vault, you have two options: "Boost" or "Cancel."

• Boost : Ideal when you have a pending transaction in the mempool and want to speed up its confirmation. By increasing the fee, you improve the chances of your transaction being processed quickly.
• Cancel : Use this option to attempt to cancel a transaction that hasn't been confirmed yet. You might need to do this to correct an error in the transaction details or if you decide not to proceed with the transaction. Please note that the Cancel feature is not guaranteed to work, as miners may still prioritize the old transaction over the new one.

For information on how these features work operationally, please refer to this page.

Automatic Logout and Session Refresh

We've enhanced the security and user experience of the Ledger Vault. Now, if a session expires due to inactivity, you'll be automatically logged out after 10 minutes. This helps protect the privacy of your Vault's content, prevents unexpected errors and ensures a smoother workflow. Additionally, a banner will appear one minute before your session expires, giving you the option to extend your session for another 10 minutes with a simple click. This will help avoiding an unexpected logout while working on a transaction for example.

Interface Updates

The Ledger Vault interface is being updated with new animations and icons to provide a more intuitive user experience. These updates also prepare the Vault for upcoming features, including Ledger Stax compatibility.

October 2024 - Version 5.1.0

June 2023 - EVM Networks Direct Access

Overview

The growth and diversity of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible networks have created a multitude of opportunities for digital asset management. Ledger Enterprise is excited to introduce Direct Access to a wide range of EVM networks. This new feature allows our users to interact directly with these networks, create accounts, visualize balances, transact, and interact with DeFi and NFT applications.

Direct Access is a mode of support where Ledger Enterprise Platform communicates directly with EVM networks. This method allows users to explore and interact with a broader array of blockchains without the need for them to be fully indexed on our platform. With Direct Access, you can:

• Create accounts on these newly supported networks (Arbitrum, Optimism, Fantom, Flare, Klaytn, Avalanche C-chain, as well as their testnets, Mumbai and Sepolia)
• View your account balances for both parent and ERC20 children accounts
• Perform basic asset transfers
• Engage with DeFi and NFT applications on these networks

Please note that due to the nature of Direct Access (without full indexing), reporting capabilities are currently limited to outgoing transactions. Additionally, users should be aware of potential rate limitations on transactions that might impact their ability to perform actions rapidly or in high volumes. However, we plan on enabling Full Access on these networks in later iterations to provide comprehensive reporting and minimize such limitations.

Learn more on how to leverage these new supported networks here.

June 2023 - Version 4.27.0

Overview

• Send and Receive TRON with Vault Signer and Ledger Live
• Sign Ethereum & EVM Messages - EIP-191 & EIP-712 support
• Interact wiht external DApps using WalletConnect v2

Tron with Vault Signer

The Vault Signer feature enables users to use an external wallet to craft a transaction, and then sign it on the Vault. The external wallet takes on the role of the crafter, while the Vault retains all control of the signer. This guarantees that transactions will still have to follow the governance rules enforced by the HSM. The biggest change is that the transactions will be crafted on the extension instead of the Vault.

In this first release of this feature the coin TRON will be available, with crafting operations done in Ledger Live.

Learn more here.

Sign Ethereum & EVM Messages - EIP-191 & EIP-712 support

Signing messages serves a crucial purpose in the web3 ecosystem. It allows users to confirm their identity, authenticate transactions, and interact with smart contracts without the need to share their private keys.

The EIP-191 and EIP-712 formats are Ethereum Improvement Proposals that standardize signed messages:

• EIP-191 provides a basic signed data scheme. It is mostly used to let users prove that they control an address without revealing their private key, typically when logging into a DApp.
• EIP-712 improves upon EIP-191 and makes the process of data signing more user-friendly. It displays the data in a structured and readable format, improving user understanding and control over what they are signing.

Ledger Enteprise now supports the signature of messages in both EIP-191 and EIP-712 formats, according to governance rules defined by admins, and enables operators to review their content on the Trusted Display of their Personal Security Devices.

The signature of messages with Ledger Enterprise accounts opens up multiple opportunities in the web3 ecosystem. Here are a few examples:

• Decentralized Finance (DeFi) apps such as MakerDao, Aave or Curve Finance often require users to sign transactions for lending, borrowing, or trading assets
• Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) such as Uniswap or Sushiswap's trading process involve signing messages to authorize trades and liquidity provisions
• NFT Marketplaces such as OpenSea, Rarible or Blur involve transactions where users purchase, bid for, or transfer digital assets. These marketplaces often require message signatures to ensure these transactions are secure and valid.
• Identity and social apps such as ENS (Ethereum Name Service) or Lenster use signatures to verify identities, prove ownership or facilitate secure communication
• DAOs and governance apps such as Snapshot or Aragon often require members to sign messages to participate in voting and other governance actions.

Learn more here.

Interact with external DApps using WalletConnect v2

With WalletConnect recently transitioning to version 2.0, we are delighted to announce the support for WalletConnect v2 on the Ledger Enterprise Platform. This update offers several improvements over the previous version and ensures that our clients can continue interacting with decentralized applications (DApps) using the WalletConnect application.

This upgraded version introduces several enhancements, such as improved performance, multi-chain support, and payload encryption for increased security (see here for more information). For a detailed understanding of WalletConnect v2, please refer to the official WalletConnect v2 documentation.

We are pleased to announce that our Cardano integration now includes the capability for users to empty their accounts. This feature has been highly requested by our users and can be particularly useful for accounting purposes.

Please note that this functionality still fully respects any governance rules that you may have in place for your account.

It is important to be aware that emptying an account is possible even if the account is registered for staking, allowing the deposit to remain in the account. However, if you wish to regain the deposit registration and ensure the ability to cover future fees, you will need to send back some funds to your account.

By following this process, you can maintain your staking arrangement and preserve the functionality of your account while still having the option to empty it when necessary.

Ethereum: Monitor your staking rewards via API

If you have staked ETH from your Ethereum accounts, you can now track their entire rewards history with our dedicated Ethereum rewards API endpoint.

Ethereum & EVM: Improved DeFi/NFT reporting in the UI & .csv export with related events

This new feature allows users to review the details of the related events of their Ethereum transactions involving smart contracts, offering a deeper insight into their crypto assets operations. Whether you're swapping tokens on a decentralized exchange (DEX), dealing with ERC20 tokens or Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), or receiving ETH staking rewards, this feature provides comprehensive reporting, supporting enhanced auditability and risk management. You can learn more in the detailed section here.

May 2023 - Ethereum Staking withdrawals

Overview

• Staking: withdraw your Ethereum stakes & rewards

Ethereum Staking withdrawals with Kiln

We are happy to announce that you can now fully unstake and withdraw your staked assets on Ethereum, using Kiln's app. Withdrawn funds will be sent to the staking account (the account that initiated the stake) and cannot be retrieved on any other address to prevent any human mistake or malicious attack.

Note that just like staking, unstaking is not immediate. Your unstaked validators will be processed in the exit queue. Once they have reached the exited state, funds will become withdrawable after 256 epochs (~27 hours). You can learn more about the validator lifecycle and exit flows here.

Please head to the dedicated user documentation to learn more on how to manage your ETH Stking positions with Kiln.

Interact with Smart Contracts on the Binance Smart Chain

You can now interact with any smart contract based applications on Binance Smart Chain, and benefit from the low fees of the network to optimize your web3 operations, whether it be DeFi or NFT. Ledger Enterprise provides the same level of support as on Ethereum:

• Administrators can configure smart contract enabled accounts on BSC, and define a dedicated governance rule for interacting with web3 apps on BSC.
• Operators can access Vault DApps on BSC directly on their workspace, featuring Paraswap for now (and more to come).
• Operators can interact with any BSC contract using the Contract Interaction panel - provided the contract has its ABI published on BscScan.
• Operators will be able to Clear Sign their BSC smart contact interactions on Trusted Display for all supported contracts (see: Supported ClearSign contracts & applications ), bringing unparallelled security to web3 operations.
• All interactions with web3 apps on BSC can be achieved through the Public API . Please refer to the documentation here: Ledger Enterprise API .

Improved management & segregation of EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC) accounts

The standard approach to managing accounts on EVM networks is to generate the same public address (from a given private key) across all these networks, so that users can seamlessly interact with various networks while maintaining a single public address. Moreover, as a custodian managing multiple customers' accounts, it's essential to have an organized and secure system for managing accounts.

Therefore, Ledger Enterprise Administrators now have the flexibility to create accounts with two distinct options:

• Linked Accounts : These accounts are connected to another account on a different supported EVM network. This means they share the same address (or index), making it easier to manage assets across multiple EVM-compatible chains with a single public address. This is particularly useful for institutions requiring seamless cross-chain interactions and simplified account recovery in case of funds sent to the wrong network.
• Unlinked Accounts : For institutions that prefer to have unique, unused addresses (for added privacy and security) and for custodians that need to segregate each of their clients' funds, we also offer the option to create accounts with a new, unshared address. This means the public address of the account is not associated with any other account on another supported EVM network.

Note that prior to this feature, all your Ledger Enterprise accounts follow the second option (unlinked accounts), meaning that they all have a unique address that is not shared by another account on another network.

NFT Gallery: portfolio value

We're excited to announce the latest improvement to our NFT gallery feature on our Vault! You can now view the floor price of your NFTs. This feature will enable you to track the minimum price that your NFTs are being traded for in the market. You’ll also be able to see the overall balance and quantity of your NFT collection, which will be displayed on the NFT Gallery page. This balance is kept distinct and not included in the overall balance section which is featured at the top of your account.

Moreover, you can now click on any NFT token in your collection, and it will take you to a new page that displays its characteristics. This feature will provide you with more detailed information about your NFTs, including their properties, quantity and token standard, as well as links to open markets.

Technical release improvement

We improved part of our release process for our nexts releases reducing the maintenance time for small releases. More info during our 4.23 release.

March 2023 - Version 4.21.0

Better manage your gouvernance rules: introducing Smart Contract whitelists

The Smart Contract Whitelist feature enables Administrators to efficiently secure and manage their organization's accounts rules by distinguishing between Smart Contract and Transaction Whitelists. By creating separate whitelists for each type of governance rule, administrators can reduce the risk of errors and streamline the overall governance process.

Additionally, the feature allows for easy whitelisting of supported contracts through a user-friendly dropdown menu containing all Clear Signed contracts, simplifying the process of adding trusted contract addresses and enhancing overall asset security.

February 2023 - Version 4.20.0

BNB Send & Receive

You can now create Binance Smart Chain (BNB) accounts in your Ledger Vault workspace to send and receive funds. BSC brings to 18 our list of supported crypto assets and over 5,000 ERC20 tokens.

We’ll be adding the possibility of conducting smart contract interactions on BSC in a future release.

Creating a BNB account and transaction is similar to any other crypto asset. Follow the instructions on Create an account and Create a transaction for more information.

February 2023 - Version 4.19.0

Don’t trust, verify: ClearSign your NFT operations on Trusted Display

You can now manage your NFTs directly from your Gallery while benefiting from the best security on the market thanks to our ClearSign support. You will now be able to review the exact content of your NFT operations in a meaningful fashion on Trusted Display and verify that you are performing the right transactions on your Personal Security Device. For instance, Operators will be empowered to review that they are sending an NFT from the right collection, to the right recipient address.

Ledger Enterprise will now ClearSign all standard functions of ERC-721 and ERC-1155 contracts. You can review supported ClearSigned contracts here.

Stake MATIC directly from your Ledger Enterprise Platform

We are happy to announce that you can now generate yield on your idle MATIC assets by staking them directly from your Ledger Enterprise platform.

Staking MATIC brings many benefits, including:

• High yield : Polygon leverages (D)PoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) as its consensus mechanism. There are up to 100 validators ensuring the security of the Polygon network, and any MATIC holder can become a delegator by bonding their assets to their preferred validator. By doing so, delegators can earn up to 5-6% APR (i.e. 3% adj.).
• Low risk : Polygon manages delegations in a trustless fashion, via a robust set of smart contracts. Additionally, staking via Ledger Enterprise empowers you to review your staking operations in a meaningful fashion on trusted display thanks to our ClearSign framework on supported smart contracts.
• Simplicity & scalability : you can use Ledger Enterprise to stake directly on Polygon Staking applications, from the UI. Should you want to automate your staking workflows to scale your operations, you can also leverage our Public API to perform your delegations and withdrawals programmatically. You can find out more about our API here .

January 2023 - Version 4.16.0

Staking on the Solana blockchain

This first release note of 2023 is an exciting one! We're happy to announce that it is now possible to conduct Solana staking operations directly on the Ledger Enterprise platform.

There are many benefits of staking Solana with Ledger Enterprise. The process is:

• Simple, yet rewarding : Staking Solana on Ledger Enterprise only requires a few clicks to generate up to 5.5% APY. You will be able to manage all of your staking positions in one place without needing prior knowledge of the network and with no extra cost.
• Secured & Low risk : Protect against mismanagement of funds by having staking transaction checks at a hardware level before signing. This will enforce that only your Vault account retains control and receives the rewards. Additionally, slashing risks are fully mitigated by our validator partners, thus enabling institutional staking with security and peace of mind.
• Flexible and scalable : You can manage as many on-chain staking positions as you need from just one account on the LE platform. This allows you to stake more without undelegating your previous staking position and partially withdraw staking positions so you don’t lose time or rewards. It also lets you manage with ease new restrictive regulations, by tracking precisely all your end-user stakes as one on chain address. This implementation is even possible via API, if you are looking for scaling solana staking as user demand grows.

If you want to learn more about staking Solana, check this dedicated article on the help center. To learn more about how you can use Ledger API to scale your day to day operations, please don’t hesitate to schedule a call with our team.
