Hy Rw13enlib88 i checked the conditions at Ledger as promised.
I found following:
There are a lot of cryptocurrenies and as Ledger has limited ressources it cannot integrate them all. The conditions to integrate another crypto are one of the following:
massive general support and high market cap (ex: Ethereum)
development sponsored by the coin's community (ex: Litecoin)
direct developer integration using Ledger's SDK
For information, the "altcoin package" costs 99,000 EUR and includes:
development of altcoin's Nano S / Blue app
altcoin support added to the Ledger Wallet Chrome app
altcoin explorer API development for the backend
1,000 Ledger Nano S unit with altcoin's logo laser marking
maintenance and support
This pricing is available only for project inheriting from Bitcoin. If the blockchain technology is original (ex: Ripple, IOTA...) then the pricing could be much higher.
If you are part of the project's team and have a deep technical understanding of the coin, we also invite you to fill-in our integration form.
Please also refer to our list of already supported coins and tokens if you are unsure if your favorite coin is supported or not.
Integration only (without custom Nano S units) for Bitcoin clones is available at the separate price of 50,000 EUR.
As i understood, payment is just required, if you like to use their integration service.
If you are developing the integration yourself via their SDK and create a pull request, it is free.
I think we would achive this much cheaper developing on our own, or we we conveniently share a devceloper,
(i am about to get this done anyway) and it will at least not cost 50.000 Dollar
what do you think?
