Aleo completes integration with Ledger, enabling fully private transactions on hardware wallets

According to ChainCatcher, official sources state that Aleo has formally completed its integration with Ledger Wallet, bringing fully private zero-knowledge proof (ZK) transactions into the self-custody scenario of hardware wallets. On the Aleo network, when users initiate transactions via Ledger, information such as sender, recipient, and transaction amount remain confidential, while the private key is always kept within the Ledger device and never leaves the hardware signer.

Aleo indicated 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 blockchains, and the transaction signature process is relatively straightforward; however, private transactions require generating zero-knowledge proofs around private states, making the signing process more complex. Official sources say that the implementation of this feature is the result of dedicated technical collaboration between the Aleo and Ledger engineering teams. It is now live on Ledger Wallet and covers more than 8 million Ledger devices.
