Ledger announced the Atom, an Android-based hardware wallet resembling a smartphone, arriving during a period of significant supply chain tampering that resulted in over $86 million in crypto theft across Southeast Asia. Unlike previous compact devices, the Atom features a standard Android phone interface and E Ink display, marking a shift from custom software to a more integrated, phone-like form factor. The device is currently available for purchase, though the specific launch date and exact features beyond the visual resemblance remain unconfirmed.
