Hey friends ??
I love a good deal and so when I come across one, I want to share it with people I think will benefit from it ?? So when I came across this deal today, I knew that the best place to share it was here on PUBLISH0X with my fellow crypto enthusiasts.
You've probably heard that having a hardware wallet is a best practice in the world of decentralize finance. That's because storing your cryptocurrency in a "hot wallet" which is to say a wallet connected to the internet, puts your funds at risk in the event of a hack ??
As I wrote in my post Crypto Misadventures: A Wallet By Any Other Name (available on Publish0x or BMC), part of the magic of the DeFi ecosystem, in my opinion, is the Web3 ecosystem of decentralized apps or dApps ?? MetaMask is one of my favourite ways to connect to this ecosystem, but does that mean I have to put myself at risk?
No ???>?
Metamask as well as most other hot wallets, offer the ability to use hardware wallets to validate signing of transactions. In doing so, you are essentially adding 2-Factor Authentification (2FA) to all transactions and securing your funds with a physical component. Doing so is one of the smartest ways to improve the overall security of your DeFi game ??
The two most popular hardware wallets are Ledger and Trezor. Both offer similar features and communities that swear one or the other is better. But today, I want to talk about Ledger, because there is a really great promotional rate available to buy one: 30% off the LEDGER Nano S ??
Ok, so before I get into the deal itself and how it works, I want to go back to what I was saying about MetaMask. If, like me, you like to use a browser extension wallet, like MetaMask, then you're still able to use Ledger. Simply click your METAMASK and choose connect hardware wallet, and you'll be walked through the steps of creating a new, hardware linked wallet (check the screenshot below)
Not the only option
What if I told you that you have another way to access dApps with Ledger that's a little more user friendly and a lot more secure? ??
Well with Ledger Live's new dApp integrations there is, and it's really impressive. Currently you can use Paraswap, Changelly and and Wyre, with support for Aave, DeversiFi, Lido, Zerion, Aave, Compound, and 1INCH all indicated as coming soon.
That brings me to the promotion. From July 21st (2021 in case you're reading this in the future) until August 2nd, you can go to this website and vote for which dApps you've like to see added to Ledger Live next ?? Your vote, is actually your promo code for 30% off your Ledger Nano S ??
The Ledger Nano S, in case you're wondering is probably the worlds most popular hardware wallet, because of it's low cost and great functionality. Not to mention the quality of Ledger Live ??
The full list of apps you can vote for include: 0x, 1inch, Aave, Balancer, Bancor, Compound, Curve, DappRadar, DeversiFi, dYdX, Enzyme, Kyber, Lido, Opensea, PancakeSwap, Paraswap, PoolTogether, Rainbow.me, Rarible, Shapeshift, Sorare, StakeDAO, StakeWise, SuperRare, Sushiswap, Synthetix, Uniswap, YearnFinance, Zapper, and Zerion.
My vote is for one of my favourite apps, PoolTogether, the no-loss lottery I wrote about here ??
Frankly, I suspect they will be adding support for all of these apps, and it's really just a way to gamify the sale. But I love gamification (as you'll know if you've been to my blog which gamifies support through content goals, supporter bonuses, and Pay It Forward unlocks ??
Anyways, if you're in the market for a Ledger Nano S, now is the time to buy, and cast your vote for your favourite dApp to come to the Ledger ecosystem at the same time.
And please use my links in this article as they are affiliate links ?? I've never made a dollar from them yet, but that's probably because there was never such a good deal as this before to make the referral a win-win deal ??
If you like this content let me know below. Do you use Ledger? What about Trezor? Maybe you use something else altogether. My approach with this kind of thing is to show you a deal on an already popular product, so please if you don't like Ledger, don't direct your anger at them towards me. I'd like to keep this a space of positive vibes if possible.
Until next time ??
