📍Ledger suspends the launch of Ledger Recover and commits to releasing the code. Ledger's key recovery service will no longer be available as planned by the company. In a recent statement, the manufacturer of one of the most in-demand hardware wallets in the crypto industry informed its users that the release of the v2.2.1 update, which included the Ledger Recover service, has been temporarily suspended.
Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier said that one of the main reasons for this decision has been the strong controversy that the service has caused in the crypto community. As reported by Bit2Me News, both users of the physical wallet and leaders of the crypto community spoke out against Ledger Recover for violating privacy, security and censorship resistance.

As such, it has pledged to launch the Ledger Recover service when it is open source and auditable. Gauthier said the company is accelerating its roadmap to achieve this new goal.
