Pmalek, firmware update for Nano X is already old news - it is posted here -> Ledger Nano X Firmware Update



Why am I being forced to sacrifice some of the very limited space on my Nano S to support something I will almost certainly never use?

I asked similar questions in the thread I linked, and what I read from Ledger is that they want to keep S&X model equivalent in functionality, but this must of course be to the detriment of storage in the Nano S. Size of storage for apps is now 4kb smaller, and that is one of the advantages that the Nano X has. If Ledger continues to provide firmware support for Nano S, it will probably be possible to have max 1-2 apps at the same time.

Unfortunately, it's a difficult trade-off. On the one hand. we'd like to keep the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S equivalent in functionality, on the other hand, this will come at the expense of app capacity on the Ledger Nano S. For this update, we are happy it's only 4 kb considering the changes that were made.



Important notes for anyone who does not visit the links from the OP

- you need to have firmware 1.5.5 in order to update to 1.6.1
- you need to update to the latest version of Ledger Live
- firmware is not available for all users in the same time (progressively rolled out)

Added cryptographic support for the Stark 256 curve. This will allow the support of Starkware applications.
Added cryptographic support for the BLS12-381 curve
Am I right in saying this is all necessary for Ethereum 2.0? What are Stackware applications? A very quick internet search seems to suggest it is a second layer scaling solution for Ethereum. Why am I being forced to sacrifice some of the very limited space on my Nano S to support something I will almost certainly never use?

What happened to holidays and COVID delaying all work and updates? We can roll out support for some niche use of an altcoin, but we can't patch critical vulnerabilities that we've known about for months?

As time goes on, I am more and more leaning to wards scrapping hardware wallets altogether and just using encrypted airgapped storage for everything.

Ledger has released new firmware updates for Nano S and Nano X hardware wallets. Like in the past, users will be able to update their wallets gradually.

These are the information for the new Nano S Firmware version 1.6.1.
This is for Ledger Nano X Firmware version 1.2.4-4.

For Nano S users this is a smaller update.

mostly be focused on additions for exciting upcoming features. For example, the BLS12-381 G1 cryptographic curve has been added.

There will also be less of a delay when installing and uninstalling apps from your Ledger Nano S after this update.

A new change in the update process for both devices is that users no longer need to connect and disconnect their device. it's now a one-click process.

The Nano X MCU chip will be upgraded to patch some small vulnerabilities.
More info about the mentioned vulnerability can be found here.
