Ethereum Foundation is preparing the release of an app called Universal Ethereum Signer. The tool was developed by Nicolas Bacca, who co-founded Ledger, and it lets users approve transactions on the Ethereum network. It is designed for the KeyOS operating system and the Passport Prime device, both from the Foundation.

Zach Herbert, co-founder and CEO of Foundation, discussed the app on the Unchained Premium podcast with a host named Laura. Herbert described it as the first signing app the Ethereum Foundation has worked on for devices that behave like hardware wallets.

The app has not been released to the public yet. The material does not say when it will be available or how much it will cost.
