Ledger’s Golden Week Sale: Get Bonus BTC with Every Wallet

China and Japan are both approaching their annual Golden Week holidays, a time when several national holidays fall close together. During this period, travel activity typically surges as many people take advantage of the time off to go on trips or spend time with family and friends.

To mark the occasion and promote safe crypto practices while users are on the move, hardware wallet leader Ledger has launched a Golden Week campaign. The promotion includes bonus Bitcoin (BTC) and additional rewards with every hardware wallet purchase.

Here’s a simple overview of the offers:

• Ledger Stax: $80 in Bitcoin + Ledger Recovery Key + Magnet Shell
• Ledger Flex: $70 in Bitcoin + Ledger Recovery Key
• Ledger Nano Gen 5: $30 in Bitcoin + Ledger Recovery Key
• Ledger Nano X: $20 in Bitcoin
• Ledger Nano S Plus: $10 in Bitcoin

The Ledger Golden Week promotion runs until May 3, 2026.

The bonus Bitcoin is delivered as a physical voucher included with the device, containing a code that can be redeemed through the Ledger Wallet app.

The Ledger Recovery Key is an NFC-enabled card designed to store a secure, PIN-protected backup of your recovery phrase, making it easier and safer to restore access to your wallet if needed.

Ledger Wallet 4.0: Designed with mobile users in mind

Ledger has also introduced version 4.0 of its flagship Ledger Wallet software, bringing a refreshed interface that’s optimized for users who manage their crypto on the go.

Core features such as sending and receiving funds, buying and selling crypto, and swapping tokens are now accessible directly from the home screen. The onboarding process for staking has been streamlined, and managing Ledger-compatible crypto payment cards is now more convenient.

The update also adds integrations with popular DeFi platforms, including Jupiter, Uniswap, 1inch, and NEAR Intents.

These integrations allow users to compare multiple swap offers and select the most favorable one. In our test of the NEAR Intents feature, swapping ETH for BTC was notably smooth and efficient.

Another useful addition is gas sponsoring, enabled through BlinkLabs. This feature allows users to complete transactions even without holding the native token of the network. For instance, you can execute a swap on the BNB Chain without needing BNB in your wallet.

Overview of Ledger’s hardware wallet lineup

Ledger Wallet software works seamlessly across all Ledger hardware devices. If you’re trying to decide which one suits you best, here’s a quick comparison:

Ledger Stax

The Stax is Ledger’s most advanced device, offering the largest display and a sleek design created by iPod inventor Tony Fadell. Its E Ink touchscreen delivers a much more intuitive and enjoyable experience compared to traditional hardware wallets, making it ideal for frequent users who want top-tier usability.

Ledger Flex

Think of the Flex as a more affordable, slightly smaller version of the Stax. It retains the E Ink touchscreen experience while offering better value for those who don’t need the premium build.

Ledger Nano Gen 5

This is the most budget-friendly touchscreen option from Ledger. While it features a plastic construction, it still includes essential features like the EAL 6+ Secure Element and wireless connectivity via NFC and Bluetooth. It’s a solid choice if you want touchscreen functionality without paying for premium materials.

Ledger Nano X

The Nano X sticks to Ledger’s classic button-based design but enhances it with Bluetooth connectivity, increased storage, and a larger display. It’s a great option for users who want wireless functionality without stepping up to a touchscreen device.

Ledger Nano S Plus

As the successor to the widely popular Nano S, the Nano S Plus offers excellent value for money. It delivers strong security at a low price point, though it lacks wireless connectivity and does not support iOS devices.
