Ledger has decided to stop supporting its oldest hardware wallet, the Nano S.

The company announced on May 30 that the Nano S would no longer receive new app submissions, features, or software updates. A separate notice from April 24 had already advised users to prepare for a transition to a newer device.

The Nano S was first launched in 2016. For users who still rely on it, this means their devices are nearing 10 years old.

While the wallet can still be used, Ledger has confirmed it will not be keeping up with future blockchain changes, feature rollouts, or security updates.

The topic began to receive more attention on X after @beausecurity, a safety lead for Pudgy Penguins, posted about it on June 25.

He called the situation a "major bummer" and recommended that current users double-check their 24-word backup phrase and move their assets if needed.

Ledger is focusing on newer devices, such as the Nano S Plus and Nano X, which offer more memory and are better suited for ongoing support.
