Just a quick note: I have fulfilled all the requirements and submitted Hive ledger application for official security and functional review.
It usually takes about a month for Ledger Team to review the app. They process submissions in order of priority based on several criteria such as market cap and exchange support. We're not in CMC top100 but we're pretty high and I believe Hive application will be processed soon.
During that time, it should appear in Ledger Live as an "unaudited application in developer mode". If that happens - it will be much easier to install and test it (current process is too complicated for most users). Will post an update when that happens.
Next step
Because of Hive nature (multiple roles of private keys and username instead of public addresses), it is much more complicated to associate the account with Ledger device than most other blockchains. To make it easier, I've designed a new wallet dedicated to Hive Ledger application.
The design is finished, covering all use cases for cold storage and governance (proposals and witness voting!).
Because using hardware wallets is safe, this piece of software will be available online without the need to download and install anything. I want it to be a good-looking and easy-to-use wallet for Hive. Especially for newcomers. I believe this should increase our adoption rate.
Now we wait
Now we need to wait for the review results and during that time I'm going to spend even more time on the new wallet.
