Ledger Nano S
Cold Storage
The Ledger Nano S was Ledger's flagship product from 2016 to 2022 and became one of the best-selling hardware wallets in history, with over five million units sold. It introduced the secure element architecture to consumer hardware wallets with CC EAL5+ certification, a small OLED display, and USB-A connectivity. Though replaced by the Nano S Plus in 2022, the original Nano S remains widely used and helped establish Ledger as the leading hardware wallet brand globally.
