In partnership with Brink, a Bitcoin research and development center, Ledger is contributing $5 to Brink for every Ledger Bitcoin hardware wallet sold. The funds raised will go towards bolstering the Bitcoin network and developers.

According to a blog post on Ledger’s website, through this collaborative campaign, Ledger has already contributed $50,000 to Brink. All of the funds will be allocated to Brink’s engineers. Brink’s programs support Bitcoin developers around the world, many of whom are volunteers. "I’m excited about this […] ongoing campaign with Ledger. Not only is Ledger providing hardware signing devices for individuals to secure their Bitcoin, but they are also, through their contributions to Brink, helping to secure the underlying Bitcoin network itself," said Brink Executive Director Mike Schmidt in the post.

According to the post, Ledger said it is committed to supporting the health and progress of the Bitcoin network. It does so by providing Bitcoin developers with funding, education, and mentoring. Brink also provides grants to existing Bitcoin developers for testing, reviewing, maintaining, and securing the Bitcoin Core codebase.
