Ledger NANO S now supports EOS, Waves and five other cryptocurrencies

Ledger, a company that develops the hardware wallet Ledger NANO S has announced that they will support EOS, Waves and five other smaller cryptocurrencies. Their official verified twitter handle wrote in a tweet:

Happy #CryptoTuesday! Ledger now supports Hycon, Waves, Rise, FIC Network, Pirl, EOS and Akroma. These 3rd-party apps for Ledger Nano S are available on Ledger Live: https://ledger.com/live

This is good news for all of these cryptocurrencies because this will now allow users of these cryptos to store their crypto assets securely in the Ledger NANO S hardware wallet.

In another tweet, ledger stated that “The EOS third-party app was made possible by a @CypherglassBP bounty”.

Earlier this year, EOS block producer candidate, Cypherglass offered a bounty of 50,000 dollars for EOS Ledger NANO S support and another 50,000 for Trezor support. Now that Ledger NANO S support has arrived, the person or group that helped made this possible will receive the bounty.

Rob Finch, CEO of Cyperglass announced the bounty winner in a YouTube update. The winner was named as cryptofairy (online pseudonyms of the winner). No other information was shared about the winner.
