IOTA Foundation, a Germany based non-profit corporation, has partnered with Ledger, a security leader in the crypto industry to develop a secure hardware wallet for its users. The main motive behind this partnership is to allow users of IOTA Tokens to isolate their tokens from computers and smartphones thereby adding an additional layer of safety against security breaches. With the partnership with Ledger, the tokens can then be transferred to a more secure hardware wallet. This will further reduce the chances of their hacking by malicious hackers.

Moreover, only the option for accessing the tokens through the private keys will be available to the users. For the secure isolation, the ledger wallet has been further integrated by IOTA Foundation’s IOTA Trinity and Romeo Wallets. The private keys will allow users to validate the transactions as a part of its transaction protocol everytime they log in.

As per the CEO of Ledger, Eric Larchevêque, both companies will strive hard to meet the quality and safety needs of the users. Hence, the hardware wallet has been specifically designed to access, store and manage IOTA Tokens. As the tokens and private keys will be saved in an external hardware wallet, the chances of data theft and hacking can be reduced to a very large extent.

Similarly, David Sønstebø, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of IOTA Foundation has expressed his happiness over the partnership between the two companies. The merger will result in providing desired and efficient results to the users who want to keep their accounts and data tamper-free, opined David.
