Ledger implements SegWit support in Ledger Live app

French hardware crypto wallet manufacturer Ledger has implemented support for bech32 bitcoin addresses in its Ledger Live app, according to a GitHub post.

Bech32 addresses or addresses with support for the Segregated Witness (SegWit) scaling technology were previously available to owners of Ledger wallets through third-party software, for example, through the Electrum wallet, but this function appeared for the first time in the official application from the company itself.

To start using bech32 addresses in Ledger Live, the user needs to activate the corresponding setting in the menu of experimental functions.

According to the Transactionfee.info portal, the share of SegWit transactions in the bitcoin blockchain is currently about 42% and has remained relatively constant since last August..



At the beginning of the week, an updated version of Ledger Live with Russian support was released.
