We'll be at @Ledger Op3n in Paris, 15-16th October.

Last year's edition was one of the best-run events we attended, so we're glad to be back. See you there 🇫🇷

Ledger Op3n 2026 is coming.

Save the date: October 15.

This year AI started acting for you, inside software it can outsmart.

We're talking about how you stay in charge: what you verify, and where you verify it.

Our Saturday @CantonNetwork hackathon was FANTASTIC.

A 12-hour day that felt like 12-minutes, our 'Build on Canton' hackathon saw participants tackle some truly challenging tasks, speak directly with @CantonFdn Head @viv_diwakar, and get to grips with Daml, before culminating in one of the best pitch sessions we have ever seen.

One massive thank you to all participants, our university partners at Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial College, and our event partners across @CantonArmy, @acme_markets, and @LunarStrategy.

We'll be sharing more insights and content from the event in the coming days, but for now, a few action shots...

[Cambridge Blockchain Society @camblockchains]

@Ledger Come back to Cambridge soon!

[Cambridge Blockchain Society @camblockchains]

We had the pleasure hosting @Ledger at Cambridge!

Massive thanks to @AntoineM_eth, @AWengroff, @car_cxs, Michael Louzado, Mirio Mella, Caroline Halpin, and the rest of the team for making it happen.

Keep an eye out for our next activation 👀

What happens when you put Ledger in a room full of Cambridge students who are concerned about their digital future and want to understand self-custody?

They don't just listen. They ask the hard questions.

This is what Ledger N3XT looks like in practice.

Two days at @Cambridge_Uni with Ledger N3XT.

800 years of tradition, dinners in halls older than most countries, and some of the sharpest blockchain conversations I've had all year.

Easily our best N3XT trip so far.

Last week @Ledger N3XT — our education program across college campuses — went to Cambridge. Honestly one of the most inspiring parts was just spending time with students who are thinking this deeply and rigorously about identity, ownership, AI, privacy, and the infrastructure being built underneath all of it.

800 years of academic history, two days of conversations about digital identity, consent, and trust.

We started with a fireside chat and Q&A. The students came prepared.

One Masters student asked whether Ledger is evolving from securing assets into infrastructure for human identity — and whether that future protects choice or concentrates control. Not a casual question.

A CS student pushed on quantum risk, identity, and why hardware matters at all in an increasingly AI-native world. His point was essentially: if intelligence becomes abundant and synthetic agents become indistinguishable from humans online, software alone stops being enough. At some point you need a physical root of trust tied to consent, identity, and verification in the real world.

Then he moved to privacy: send someone £2 for coffee on-chain and they can potentially see everything you own.

Those questions earned him a Ledger device. Most of the room got close.

Dinner at The Cambridge Union turned into conversations about decentralised infrastructure for interplanetary settlement, synthetic identity verification, and agentic systems. Less “future of tech” panel talk, more people actively trying to work through the implications.

The next day we toured Trinity’s Great Hall, the Wren Library, Newton’s apple tree. What stayed with me wasn’t the history so much as the continuity of the questions. How people establish truth. Authority. Consent. Ownership.

We met with professors and students and started laying groundwork for deeper collaboration. Cambridge has a habit of stress testing ideas until they either collapse or sharpen. That’s useful.

We’ll be back.

@AWengroff @Ledger Thanks for the insightful fireside chat! Cambridge loved hosting Ledger N3XT – look forward to having you back soon 🚀

[Cambridge Blockchain Society @camblockchains]

@Ledger Come back to Cambridge soon!

[Ledger @Ledger]

Ledger N3XT headed up to Cambridge for a two-day residency with @camblockchains.

A fireside chat on digital private property and Proof of Humanity with a packed room, followed by a formal dinner at the iconic Cambridge Union. Professors, researchers, students, and the Ledger team all around the same table.

The future of true digital ownership is bright, and it starts on campus 🔐

[Cambridge Blockchain Society @camblockchains]

Your AI agent may soon manage your money, sign your contracts, and speak on your behalf.
So how do you prove it’s really YOU giving the orders?

Cambridge Blockchain Society and @Ledger N3XT invite you to a workshop and fireside chat with @AWengroff Wengroff, VP of Marketing & Communications at Ledger, on Digital Private Property & Proof of Humanity.
