Update (1).png

Happy new year everyone! We hope you all had a great time with your loved ones and wish you lots of good things for 2023.

This being said let's go back to work ;)

Keychain extension

We've been working on integrating Ledger into Keychain for the past few weeks. Since we now have two different ways to sign transactions, we have to go all over the code to change its structure and decided that, since we're doing this, we might as well improve the code. We're refactoring to use the hive-tx library instead of dhive, making the extension much lighter.
We're almost done with the refactor, but this will require extensive testing before going to production.
Note that for the time being, we are only working on owner / active key Ledger integration on Keychain, due to the fact that Hive Ledger cannot currently process signBuffer operations, that are used by many dApps for login. @engrave is working on it and we will add posting authority transactions as soon as this is available.

Mobile App

I don't want to give too many details now and spoil the fun but a MAJOR release is coming, along with several new big features, an improved browser, and some minor changes. We will post about this update in the coming days.

Apologies for any eventual confusion on my end.
How will it work if I have the posting key on Keychain?
I'll have to login to Keychain with Ledger for Owner/Active key stuff and login with Posting key to actually post/write?
I guess using 2 browsers is a valid temporary workaround for users?
Thanks for the good work

you will be able to have your posting key in Keychain and the active key in your Ledger. After configuring your Keychain, it will know when to ask Ledger for signature and when to use a key stored on Keychain
