The Ledger Blue Developer Edition is an early access unit which will be shipped late January 2016. It is intended for developers and enthousiasts only: the device will require numerous firmware updates and won't be delivered with an "out of box" onboarding. The casing will be most probably 3D printed and will therefore not match the quality and design of the definitive version.

We have already produced a dozen beta units and the hardware is fully validated. The production of the developer units is scheduled to be ready in January, and everything will be shipped from our factory in France where the Blue is assembled. We target a production release Q2 2016.

The price of the Developer Edition is 179 EUR (+ VAT if you are in Europe).
