I used to think hardware wallet support was just a checkbox teams add once a token gets popular enough. changed my mind after looking at why Ledger actually added support for TBV specifically.
a cold storage key is only useful if the transactions it signs are simple enough to trust blind. Ledger devices show you what you're signing, but they can't reason about complex vault logic, they just display it. that means a project can only get taken seriously by a hardware wallet once its spending conditions are narrow and predictable enough for a device with almost no screen and no real computation to represent safely.
so Ledger adding TBV support isn't really a partnership announcement, it's a signal that the pre-signed transaction paths in a Babylon vault are simple enough at the signing level to sit next to someone's actual cold storage keys without introducing a new class of mistake.
what I can't tell yet is whether that stays true as more use cases get built on top of TBV. a vault with four spending paths is one thing to display safely. I don't know if that holds once liquidation logic, multiple lenders, or cross-chain conditions start stacking on the same vault.
