Exclusive Interview with LEDGER Chairman and CEO Pascal Gauthier | KBW2023

yeah so for us uh regardless of the trend you know security is always a priority security and needs of use so we try to support crypto communities so whatever they do uh and the way that we did it is we turn Ledger into an open platform and so crypto communities and developer communities can come and come and code on top of Ledger and make available the services that they want to make available for the for our users uh and so every time there is a new trend we sort of banking on the developer Community to make sure that the new train is available on Ledger as quickly as possible this is how we do about things but it's always with the same intent which is security and ease of [Music] use I mean the hacks that you just described with atom net and and others I mean that's unrelated to Ledger our security scheme is and strong strong and holding we we believe that there is uh it's very difficult to do security if you don't put secure Hardware into the mix which is why our security Mi is Hardware propriatary operating system and connected software on top and that's the model of Ledger uh and then when it comes to acts that have happened in the past you know there are various things that have happened happen between centralized exchanges between Bridges uh software wallets Etc security is a big big problem for the industry and so we are working hard to make sure that we are extremely secure and we're working with other teams to help them be more secure and sometimes because we bring our technology and especially Ledger Enterprise we bring them our technology to to help secure uh their solution even more so let's leder has its own security solution for retail customers but we bring the same security solution at the Enterprise level for you know sort of protocols defi protocols etc etc yeah so product development updates for for Ledger uh we're waiting for two things to be released uh number one is ledger Stacks this is our new hardware product we are bringing uh the first e in curve screen to the market uh and so that has been proven very difficult to build so we're a little late releasing the product in the market but it will come soon now and Ledger recover which is a seed recovery mechanism is also going to come to the market sometimes in October that's on the consumer side and on the Enterprise side we released a product called trade link which basically helps money managers use regulated custodian to then uh trade uh safely on exchanges so these are the three main product releases that we are doing right now look our vision you know col us bias but you know we think the future is Hardware there hasn't been a web Revolution where Hardware was not at the center of the Revolution PC was web one iPhone was web two and Ledger will be web 3 so that's our vision for the future
