This is the second major NFT development from Ledger this week. On Monday, Ledger dropped its [ Ledger ] Market - Ledger Stax NFT collection, which allows collectors the opportunity to trade in their NFT for a Ledger Stax hardware wallet. Thus far, Ledger has sold 3,640 of a possible 10,000 NFTs at the 0.22 ETH mint price. The collection has traded 47 ETH on OpenSea and the floor price sits at 0.1845 ETH on the secondary market at the time of writing.
[ Ledger ] Market, a secure mint distribution platform built by the popular hardware wallet company, is airdropping NFT artworks to its Genesis Pass holders.
"[ LEDGER ] Market, the world’s first secure mint distribution platform, offers [the] first in a series of original art to its Genesis Pass holders, dropping their generative art collectible with Agoria," the press release email reads. "With eight years as trusted innovators in the space of digital assets, this marks the official launch of [ L ] Market’s Artist Program series, an integrated opportunity for artists to release NFTs with the hardware and safety of Ledger behind them."
The first in a series of original art comes from {agoria}, a biological generative art project, and Johan Lescure. The NFTs come together in an interactive way through the project's website l-ai.agoria.dev. The collection is called Agoria {Comp-nd} x [ L ] Market.
"With a great history built on tangible success, Ledger is dropping this innovative collection of generative art NFTs based on the existing piece {Compend-AI} 2022 SX #1 from Agoria in collaboration with Johan Lescure," the press release continues. "Driven by Agoria’s global imagery, and complemented by Lescure’s co-created algorithm, the result is a breathtaking combination of primordial patterns. This biological generative art is reminiscent of the origin of life. Breaking down the massive original piece, which is a whopping 20.2 ft × 10 ft at 300 DPI, {Compend-AI} 2022 SX #1 will be divided and minted into 10,082 512 px × 512 px NFTs to be airdropped on Tuesday, Nov. 22 to all [ L ] Market Genesis Pass holders, the work will effectively be spread across the Ledger ecosystem."

Ledger Market pass, Deadfellaz, and Deadfrenz holders (as of Nov. 10) can now mint their limited edition DFZ x LEDGER Nano X hardware wallet NFT.
Those included in the snapshot will be able to mint the NFT for 0.0999 ETH until Nov. 21. The NFT is redeemable for the hardware wallet later in the month.
This is the second partner drop for Ledger Market Genesis Pass holders.
Ledger Market and Deadfellaz are teaming up for their 2nd collaboration, according to an announcement this afternoon.
Holders of the Ledger Market Pass NFT and Deadfellaz NFT holders will be eligible to claim a custom Ledger Nano X.
On Nov. 10 at 8 a.m. ET (12 p.m. UTC), Ledger will take a snapshot of all addresses holding their Market Pass NFT. Those included in the snapshot will be able to mint their custom Ledger x Deadfellaz NFT starting on Nov. 14 for a period of 7 days. That NFT will provide access to the physical, limited edition Deadfellaz Nano X which can be traded on the secondary market.
The mint price has not yet been announced.
Deadfellaz NFT holders are confirmed as eligible for the mint, though no details on a snapshot for those holders were shared. Ledger and Deadfellaz founder Betty (@betty_nft) will join for a Twitter Spaces on Nov. 7 to talk about the collaboration and their partnership.
At the time of writing, the Ledger Market Pass NFT floor is 0.26 ETH (-4% this week), and Deadfellaz is at 0.85 ETH (-12% on the week).
A snapshot for an airdropped work from electronic music producer and artist Agoria will take place Oct. 26 at 8 a.m. ET.
Addresses holding the Genesis Edition of Ledger Market Pass will receive an NFT "within 14 days" for each pass in their wallet. The work, called "{Compend-AI}", is a 72,704-by-36,352-pixel piece split into 10,082 squares and was made in collaboration with Johan Lescure.
"Once I've built the most personal dataset, the second part was to look for patterns or similarities with the Living. My friend Johan Lescure has then been essential here. We tricked the algorithms to reveal what the eye couldn't see inside those data materials. Insanely, we are revealing forms and patterns really close to the living," said Agoria, on the website.
Any Ledger passes placed in Sudoswap pools at the time of the snapshot will not receive an airdropped work.
Wallets that hold 16 or more Ledger passes will receive a "consolidated square or rectangle" of "adjacent pieces selected by Agoria."
The airdrop is free.
Ledger Market Pass holders will see tokens airdropped to them for their black-on-black Nano X hardware wallets on Oct. 19 after a snapshot was taken Monday morning, according to a tweet from Ledger.
After the Oct. 19 airdrop, the hardware wallets can be claimed Nov. 3. The Ledger Nano X retails for $149. The floor price for the Market Pass is 0.279 ETH (about $368).
