The Ledger Stax is the latest premium model from French wallet manufacturer Ledger, featuring a curved E-Ink touchscreen. The Stax is the most advanced hardware wallet in Ledger’s lineup, offering even easier use and greater personalization.

What we think

Trezor Model One
The Trezor Model One offers a simple and secure entry point into self-custody of cryptocurrencies. While it has fewer features and lacks a color display compared to the premium “Model T,” it provides excellent value for beginners and budget-conscious users. A notable positive aspect is the manufacturer’s open-source philosophy, which is not always common in the wallet space and contributes significantly to the overall security of the wallet and its software. Overall, we can definitely recommend the Model One but would personally lean towards a comparable “Ledger Nano S” or a “Bitbox.” However, for those who want to stick with Trezor and are looking for an affordable, secure hardware wallet, the Model One is an excellent choice.

Ledger Stax Logo
Ledger Stax
As Ledger’s new flagship model, the Ledger Stax is the most modern and technically advanced wallet in their product lineup. The company invested heavily in design, bringing on former Apple designer Tony Fadell, who was instrumental in designing the legendary iPod — an influence that is clearly reflected in the Ledger Stax’s design. However, in our testing, we found the Ledger Flex to be visually more appealing. Despite its attractive curved E-Ink display and casing, the Ledger Stax feels somewhat slippery in the hand and less solid than the Flex. Technically, the Ledger Stax surpasses or matches the Flex in many areas. For budget-conscious users, however, it’s not an option: priced at nearly 400 USD, Ledger positions the Stax as a premium product, much like Apple has done with its iPhones for years. Ultimately, whether the high price is justified for a pure hardware wallet is a personal decision.
