Ledger Launches a New “Stax ” Wallet With iPod Creator: Here’s What to Know

Published

on

Ledger, a security-focused firm that develops cryptocurrency hardware wallets, has teamed with Tony Fadell–the designer behind Apple’s iPod–to offer an easier, more accessible option for people to safeguard their crypto assets: the Ledger Stax.

The tech design guru, Tony Fadell — who earlier co-founded the Nest smart thermostat before it was bought by Google in 2014 — is the inventor and mastermind behind Ledger Stax, crafted by the LAYER studio, led by Benjamin Hubert.

The credit card-sized touchscreen device allows users to manage over 500 digital assets, together with the ability to hold NFT collections and integrate with several Web3 apps through the Ledger Live app.

Ledger Stax: the Cool, Beautiful, and Fun Crypto Wallet

“Ledger Stax™ is our new, breakthrough consumer device,” Ledger says. “It is built on Ledger’s secure architecture and introduces a unique form designed for unprecedented accessibility and interactivity with the world of cryptocurrencies and NFTs.”

The Ledger Stax uses Bluetooth to connect to the Ledger Live Mobile app on smartphones, and secure USB-C to connect to the Ledger Live app on laptops, according to the December 6 release. It also supports Qi wireless charging.

Regarding the battery, the manufacturer guaranteed users they may use the Stax for several weeks or even months on a single full charge. It features a battery-efficient E Ink and a Kindle-like display that can display owners’ NFTs even when the device is off.

The curved E Ink spine shows what’s inside, like a book on a shelf, Ledger stated. Also, the touch interface enables the Ledger developer community to create innovative Web3 apps that are more accessible and secure than before.

Ledger Stax also contains built-in magnets that make it simple to stack, especially for those who have over one device.

The eight-year-old company is a market leader in crypto security, having sold millions of devices to customers in over 200 countries. The firm’s existing Nano series has sold 5 million units, and “none ever hacked,” according to CEO Pascal Gauthier.

“Digging into Ledger’s proven security technology and trying all the ‘best’ hardware wallets out there convinced me to build a next-gen device with Pascal, Ian, and the amazing Ledger team,” says Tony Fadell.

Ledger Stax is not yet officially for sale, however, interested buyers can make reservations on Ledger’s website. The new wallet will be available in March 2023, but interested buyers may pre-order one for $279.

The Apple of the Cryptoverse

Tony Fadell creates products with both the circuit board and the billboard in mind, said Ian Rogers, chief experience officer at Ledger.

His goal is to make the company the Apple of the cryptocurrency industry, with the new wallet serving as its “crypto iPod.” Ian claimed that they have created a tool with the Ledger Stax that is cool, beautiful, and fun.

Bittensor SN10 Work Tied to Pareto AI and Engy AI at Exploit Summit

Published

on

An official Exploit Summit post said @ExploitSummit that @xavi3rlu announced a partnership between pareton_ai and @engyai aimed at optimizing Engy inference latency and throughput using SN10 work.

The announcement frames the collaboration as a technical optimization effort rather than a broader product launch. According to the conference account, the work is intended to improve Engy’s inference performance through SN10-related optimization, with the stated goal of supporting Engy customers.

That is the clearest confirmed detail currently available: the partnership was presented publicly at the event, and the stated focus was on latency and throughput. No additional operational specifics were included in the post, such as implementation timing, deployment scope or whether the optimization is already live for users.

SN10’s role in the announcement

The mention of SN10 places Bittensor-related optimization work at the center of the update, but the announcement does not spell out technical mechanics beyond performance improvements for inference workloads. The post does not describe any token, market or governance implications, and it does not indicate whether the collaboration changes access, pricing or product availability.

For readers following AI-linked crypto projects, the update is best understood as a partnership claim around infrastructure performance. It signals that Pareto AI and Engy AI are positioning SN10 work as part of an effort to make inference more efficient, but the announcement itself stays narrow in scope.

BNB Chain Agent Studio v4 adds NodeOpsHQ for prompt-to-agent deployment

Published

on

BNB Chain said NodeOps is now a deployment option in BNB Agent Studio v4, allowing builders to move from a prompt to a running agent without creating a cloud account or configuring infrastructure.

The update is part of a broader v4 release for BNB Agent Studio, which BNB Chain described as aimed at reducing the manual steps between writing a prompt and getting an agent live. In the company’s framing, the new NodeOps path removes a setup layer that would normally sit between development and deployment.

NodeOps also said agents can go live in BNB Agent Studio v4 using its infrastructure without manual setup. BNB Chain’s blog post described NodeOps alongside AWS and Azure as live deployment options.

The same release also adds stablecoin payment support for agents, with USDT, USDC and USD1 now working alongside $U. BNB Chain said wallet setup, funding and password handling are now automatic, while documentation, error messages and feedback tools have been improved to reduce friction for developers.

The changes make the studio feel more like a streamlined build environment than a setup-heavy toolchain, but the announcement remains centered on deployment convenience rather than a broader shift in the agent market. For developers using the platform, the practical change is that the path from prompt to live agent now appears to involve fewer manual steps.

BNB Chain releases Agent Studio v4 with simplified AI agent deployment and stablecoin support

Published

on

BNB Chain has released Agent Studio v4, updating its AI agent builder with a simpler deployment path, automatic wallet setup and broader stablecoin payment support.

In its announcement, BNB Chain said developers can now deploy through NodeOps without setting up cloud infrastructure themselves. The company also said the updated flow reduces manual steps between creating an agent and getting it running.

The release adds support for USDT, USDC, USD1 and $U as payment options for agents, expanding the stablecoin set available inside the studio. BNB Chain said the change is meant to let developers use the assets they already hold without an extra conversion step.

Agent Studio v4 also automates parts of wallet setup that previously required more manual work. According to the company, TWAK wallet creation now runs in the background, new wallets are funded automatically with test BNB and a test stablecoin, and local wallets receive generated passwords instead of requiring manual setup.

BNB Chain framed the update as part of a broader effort to reduce the friction between prompting an agent and having it live. The company described NodeOps as one of three deployment paths now available in the studio, alongside options for developers using their own cloud accounts.

For teams building on BNB Chain, the main change is practical rather than theoretical: fewer setup steps, more deployment options and a wider choice of stablecoins for agent transactions.
