A new dimension of security and community in crypto is born. Ledger proudly introduces its brand new Flex Solana Edition launched, specially designed for the thriving Solana community. This masterpiece not only offers the same technical functionalities as the regular Ledger Flex, but also shines in a unique blue-green color palette that perfectly matches Solana's identity.
The Ledger Flex Solana Edition is more than a carefully customized hardware wallet. A self-managed “cold wallet” that is not connected to the internet, security is paramount. Launched in July 2024, the device features an E Ink touchscreen, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity, and runs the innovative Ledger OS. With this mix of features, users can enjoy an unparalleled crypto management experience.
“Hey, welcome to the Ledger Solana community!” isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s a way to emphasize connection with other crypto enthusiasts. Ledger’s Chief Experience Officer Ian Rogers explains that this new wallet is genuinely focused on community: “This is one of those things where the focus is really on the community. It’s a way of saying, I’m a member of the Ledger Solana community.”
When you purchase this special wallet, you will not only receive a sleekly designed device, but also a so-called Soulbound Token (SBT). These unique tokens are non-transferable and will always be tied to you. They are designed to strengthen social relationships within the Web3 world, as envisioned by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin in a 2022 whitepaper.
Rogers emphasizes the importance of this SBT: “The Solana Soulbound Token shows that you are a Solana Flex holder—and that underscores your status as an early adopter.” Future owners of an SBT token can look forward to airdrops of rewards, although details of those have not yet been revealed.
The launch of this innovative wallet will take place in four phases. The first phase is exclusively for owners of Solana-based SBTs, with a nice discount of $70 in SOL. The second phase will offer a $50 voucher to SOL holders, while phase three will be available to anyone with SOL on Ledger Live. Finally, the device will be available to the general public on Ledger.com, where every order will also come with an SBT.
The Ledger Flex Solana Edition isn’t the only way the community is being encouraged to stay involved. The next-generation Solana smartphone, the Solana Seeker, is shipping globally with a Genesis NFT, another soulbound token that’s permanently tied to its owner’s wallet.
In the past, holders of such tokens have profited handsomely—think of the airdrop of around $300 in BONK memecoins upon the launch of Solana Saga in December 2022.
With the Ledger Flex Solana Edition and the Solana Seeker, these developments go hand in hand to make the user experience unforgettable.
