  • How do I connect to the Ledger Live app over Websocket?
    4 projects | /r/ledgerwallet | 24 Aug 2021
    Here's a minimalistic Python implementation I'm using on my system https://gist.github.com/btchip/85b4018f0c421bd72c8f818ec31c69ef - from the client side of the bridge you can just use the HTTP transport of ledgerjs (https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledgerjs/tree/master/packages/hw-transport-http). However I wouldn't suggest to use the bridge and rather focus on a native webhid/webusb implementation as the user experience would be much smoother. You can have a look at this Metamask fork to see how it's done https://github.com/hectorchu/metamask-extension , or Keplr https://github.com/chainapsis/keplr-extension or Terra Station https://github.com/terra-money/station
  • I modified MetaMask to run Ledger devices over WebHID
    1 project | /r/ledgerwallet | 23 Jul 2021
    So I decided to hack MetaMask for a day to see if I could make it use WebHID instead of the ghastly Websocket transport to the Ledger Live app (sorry MetaMask devs!). I'm pleased to report that it was straightforward, and I've decided to make my changes available and a release is also available for download, at https://github.com/hectorchu/metamask-extension. Rest assured there isn't any phishing code in there to steal your keys, besides if you only use your Ledger with it then it can't steal the keys from it.

    1 project | /r/KeystoneWallet | 5 Jul 2023
    For Cosmos Users: We are currently working on the development of Keplr and it’s estimated to take one month around. Cosmos users can temporarily connect your Keystone with the older version of Keplr using the following link: https://github.com/chainapsis/keplr-wallet/releases/tag/v0.11.64. We understand the importance of this integration for the community and will keep you informed about any further developments. Additionally, we are also in communication with Leap Wallet, and if they express interest in integration, we will promptly update the community.

  • The Cosmos Ecosystem and IBC explained

    The biggest advantage of investing in Cosmos at this very moment is airdrops. The set way to introduce new networks to the network is to airdrop coins of a new network to holders of several networks. This way it is ensured that you are able to participate in a new network, free of cost, or just sell off the airdrop in a network you are not interested in for a small profit (free money = free money). For newcomers: Airdrops are only available when one stakes a minimum amount (normally 5 ATOM) in a non-custodial wallet. E.g. the ATOM should be taken of a central exchange like Binance and be staked through a wallet like Keplr which fortunately is really easy to use.
