About DENT Token
The Dent token is the native token of Dent Wireless, a digital and global operator for eSIM, top-ups, and voice. Looking to achieve a Data Sharing Economy, DENT allows consumers to freely purchase, sell, and donate their mobile data to any other device.
The DENT Exchange and DENT Tokens serve as the global currency for mobile data transactions between telecoms and the consumer community.
Ledger Nano S: The Iconic Ledger Wallet
Created in 2016, the Ledger Nano S has proved to be the most popular hardware wallet. However, the outburst of Web3, NFTs, and DeFi prompted the release of Ledger Nano S Plus as a solution for users to access and explore it, and also a replacement for the Ledger Nano S.
The last 10,000 units of the Ledger Nano S were released for sale on June 29th, 2022, and quickly sold out. Each unit of the NANO S FINAL EDITION came with an exclusive POAP NFT created by the rising “what is real?” artist, to commemorate the end of production of the Ledger Nano S.
With over 3 million Nano S devices sold around the world, that would be the last of them to ever be produced.
