Thank you @ZcashFoundation, @ZcashGrants Commitee and all Zcash community. I am thrilled to share that we’ve already begun working on the project. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks. We look forward to keeping the entire Zcash community informed about our journey, and we’re grateful for the support received.
While we acknowledge that the Ledger integration has faced its share of challenges, we want to reassure the community that we are steadfast in our commitment to completing it, making it accessible to all users.
Furthermore, our overarching goal is to extend this integration to the most widely used web wallets. To streamline the process and address potential hurdles, we have initiated work with our fork of the Zec wallet for the submission process. However, we are eager to collaborate with other teams at the earliest opportunity.
We appreciate the dedication and mission-driven spirit of the Zcash community, and for us, this marks a new fresh chapter in our collaboration efforts. As a dedicated team with extensive experience in security and HSMs development, we align with Zcash’s mission, committing to ensuring the confidentiality and security of user data.

I wanted to share with you that today the security audit of the Ledger zcash app started. I’ll share more updates soon as the audit progresses.
) would put all the funds at risk. So we are talking mutli billions at risk, have you heard of a multi billion hack due to a vulnerability on a Ledger app ? No and you very likely never will and if you do we can probably all pack our bags anyway (Ledger the company would collapse in blink) because the market impact would be insane. So yes from time to time you’ll read that a mistake has been made at Ledger or Trezor or that a third party email provider has been compromised and so on. But it has nothing to do with the architecture / security of the Ledger devices themselves, if it had ever been the case Ledger would be bankrupt and I wouldn’t be typing this. Even if a track record isn’t a proof but it certainly is an indicator. There is no such thing as perfect security and that’s why our security/firmware team are always working hard to improve the system in place. Then it’s up to you to exercise your judgement with all the information available to you to assess if you are comfortable using a a security solution (notice that this work with any security product that you don’t have knowledge or time to fully verify software or hardware). Considering Ledger’s app, I’m personally very fine with that risk that I assess to be very close to the risk of the protocol itself being broken so for Zcash I’d say millions of times less likely than me being hit by an asteroid today.
