Ledger announces Atom, an Android-based security device designed to protect cryptocurrency holdings against hardware tampering. The company says Atom includes anti-tamper protections and that it will probe losses tied to modified or resold wallets. Ledger positions Atom as a device that works alongside a user’s phone rather than replacing it, aiming to reduce the risk of tampered supply-chain devices.
Outlets report the device will be priced around $849 to $899 and is expected to ship in 2027. Ledger says Atom will be sold only through its website, limiting distribution. Some coverage adds that Atom integrates Solana Mobile features and includes new security and controls for handling crypto transactions, alongside investigation into tampered wallets being sold in Asia. One outlet describes Atom’s “Android phone” form factor as intentionally paired with other devices, while another focuses on the pricing and availability timeline as Ledger responds to ongoing wallet-tampering incidents.
