Dynamically Adding ASAs

[holmser]

Problem

Currently the ledger app is limited to a small number of hardcoded ASAs

Solution

One workaround solution would be to add to the list of hardcoded ASAs with some of the more popular coins, but this doesn't scale very well. Ideally it would be possible to add any ASA.

Dependencies

Unsure what dependencies exist for this functionality

Urgency

As more ASAs are released into the Algorand ecosystem this issue becomes more and more urgent as it limits ledger's usefulness as a wallet.

@algoidan, can you please take a look?

Hi @holmser and many thanks for the issue.
While not yet implemented, there are future plans for a scalable solution. In particular, we're considering adopting Ledger's solution where we would have our public key baked into the ledger firmware and we will sign the proper ASA Aux data (decimals, unit name, etc) off band. That way, any wallet can send it along with the transaction and present the information to the user and there will be no need to hardcode it.

Hope it helps!

Awesome. I figured a more elegant solution would be possible but just wanted to see my yieldly on my ledger :-). Thanks for all the hard work!

@holmser what is the more elegant solution?
I currently have Pera Wallet web linked to my ledger just for this purpose, but with this wallet being discontinued, I need to find another solution.
