Ledger’s chief executive has called on the crypto industry to adopt a strict "no compromise" approach to Bitcoin security design, arguing that self-custody only works as digital private property if wallets protect ordinary users rather than assuming expert-level discipline. The company says Bitcoin’s promise of money that cannot be frozen, seized or blocked depends on private keys and seed phrases (backup recovery words), but users often lose funds through routine failures such as incorrect backups, forgotten passwords or flaws in products they cannot inspect. Ledger argues that good design should reduce the chance of mistakes instead of shifting more complexity onto users, and that security claims should be tested through open code where possible, independent review where necessary and long-term real-world resilience. As part of that case, Ledger pointed to its Donjon security unit, which it says disclosed flaws that led to a patch for Trezor and protected Trust Wallet users before public disclosure, and to its work on clear signing (human-readable transaction approval) with the Ethereum Foundation. The company also cited SEAL 911, Kraken’s security lab, Ledger Academy, Binance Academy and MIT courses as examples of industry-wide cooperation, and urged rivals across wallets, exchanges and custodians to treat responsible disclosure, shared standards and user education as common ground rather than marketing weapons.
