Aleo Completes Ledger Integration, Supporting Fully Private Transactions Under Hardware Wallets

On May 14, according to official news, Aleo has officially completed its integration with Ledger Wallet, introducing fully private zero-knowledge proof (ZK) transactions into hardware wallet self-custody scenarios. On the Aleo network, when users initiate transactions through Ledger, information such as the sender, receiver, and transfer amount can remain private, while private keys always stay within the Ledger device and never leave the hardware signer. Aleo stated that for a long time, supporting private transactions in hardware wallets has been a technical challenge in the field of privacy public chains. Traditional hardware wallets are mainly designed for transparent chains, with relatively straightforward transaction signing processes; private transactions, on the other hand, require generating zero-knowledge proofs around private states, making the signing process more complex. The official announcement stated that this feature implementation was made possible by dedicated technical collaboration between Aleo and the Ledger engineering team. It is now live on Ledger Wallet and can cover over 8 million Ledger devices.
