Golden Week, one of the busiest travel periods in Asia, especially in China and Japan, also brings digital asset security to the agenda for crypto users. Ledger, one of the leading companies in the field of hardware wallets, decided to use this period with a special campaign. The company launched a campaign specifically for Golden Week in which it added bonus Bitcoin and various accessories to certain hardware wallets.
Golden Week campaign and advantages offered
The campaign, run on Ledger’s official website, will end on the night of May 3, Central European time. Within the scope of the campaign, users can receive varying amounts of Bitcoin and accessory gifts depending on the Ledger hardware wallet model they choose. Accordingly, Ledger Stax buyers receive $ 80 worth of BTC, a Ledger Recovery Key and Magnet Shell. In the Flex model, $70 worth of BTC and Recovery Key are given. While users will receive $30 BTC and Recovery Key on the Nano Gen5 model, there is a $20 BTC gift on the Nano X and a $10 BTC gift on the Nano S Plus.
The bonus BTC amount is determined according to the wallet model purchased; Payments are made through a code that is physically presented and can be used with Ledger Wallet. The campaign is not limited to free Bitcoin gifts; It also emphasizes that users have control of their own assets.
Hardware wallet security and new software update
Ledger states that the main purpose of hardware wallets is to separate private keys from internet-connected devices. In this way, users’ assets are protected against risks arising from fake sites, harmful plug-ins and unconscious approvals. The company’s devices allow users to physically confirm each transaction via the device. In this way, accidental or harmful operations can be prevented. These features stand out especially in decentralized finance applications, token swaps and smart contract transactions.
Ledger recently released version 4.0 of its main software, Ledger Wallet. The renewed application facilitates portfolio tracking and enables faster access to basic transactions (such as purchase, transfer, exchange, staking). In the upgrade that improves the mobile experience, market data, price changes, winners, transaction alerts and indicators showing the mood of the market have also been added.
Additionally, with Ledger Wallet’s “Watch Mode” feature, users can track assets and markets without connecting their wallets. Integrations have also been increased in the new version; It has become possible to access DeFi transactions through providers such as OKX, 1inch, Velora and NEAR Intents.
Staking, spending card and innovative features
While the updated Ledger Wallet makes it easier to find assets suitable for staking, it is also underlined that staking returns are not guaranteed. These returns may vary depending on network validators, third-party service providers and general market conditions. In addition, thanks to the CL Card integrated into the wallet application, users can also benefit from solutions for spending their crypto balances.
Another notable feature was the “gas sponsorship” provided by BlinkLabs. Thus, users can complete some transactions without having the native gas token of the blockchain, for example, the transaction fee can be paid with the swapped token. However, this feature may not be valid for every network or transaction type; Users are recommended to review the application content before confirming the transaction.
Ledger product range includes products at different prices and technology levels according to user preference. Details such as touch screen, Bluetooth connection and price can be the determining factor in which model to choose. When purchasing a hardware wallet, purchasing from official channels is critical for security. Fake devices and malicious links still stand out as a significant risk in the crypto world.
It is especially emphasized that Ledger devices will never require a 24-word recovery phrase and that this phrase should only be used for wallet recovery operations in secure environments.
The Golden Week campaign combines hardware wallet security with bonus BTC and a new software interface. While the comprehensive advantages stand out especially in the Stax and Flex models, more affordable Gen5, Nano X and S Plus models are also available. The campaign offers security and ease of use together on both the hardware and software fronts. It is recommended to review details such as stock, regional restrictions and reward terms before purchasing.
