Legacy Mode brings open source apps developed for Ledger to Passport, letting users keep their existing accounts and familiar wallets on hardware assembled in the United States.

Foundation today announced the beta release of Legacy Mode for Passport, enabling Ledger users to switch to open source hardware and software while keeping their existing accounts for supported assets. Legacy Mode runs open source cryptocurrency apps originally developed for Ledger and connects to familiar software wallets over USB.

The release accompanies Foundation’s Switch campaign, built around a simple promise: switch to open source without starting over. As Ledger phases out support for the original Nano S, users can switch to Passport without transferring supported assets to new accounts. Their addresses, balances, and transaction history stay the same.

“We started Foundation because we believe an open, decentralized Internet must be built on a foundation of open source hardware and software,” said Zach Herbert, cofounder and CEO of Foundation. “But people have spent years building their wallet setups. Asking them to move every asset and relearn everything is a real barrier. Legacy Mode lets them keep what they’ve built and put it on an open source foundation.”

Ledger and its developer community have built an extensive library of open source cryptocurrency apps. Those apps normally run on Ledger’s operating system, which includes proprietary code. Foundation’s compatibility layer allows supported apps to run on KeyOS, the fully open source operating system powering Passport.

KeyOS is a microkernel operating system written in Rust, with isolated processes and sandboxed apps. Foundation publishes its operating-system source code and hardware designs so developers and security researchers can inspect how Passport works.

“We reimplemented the interfaces that Ledger’s open source apps use to talk to BOLOS, its operating system,” said Ken Carpenter, cofounder and CTO of Foundation. “That includes cryptographic operations, screen rendering, and USB communication. We can compile the existing app code for Passport and run it on KeyOS, without running Ledger’s proprietary operating system.”

Ethereum and Solana are the first supported app families, selected for their broad adoption. Early beta users have tested compatibility with Rabby for Ethereum and EVM networks, and Phantom for Solana, over USB. Foundation plans to add further open source Ledger apps as users and developers need them.

Legacy Mode launches in beta today as an optional, manual installation on Passport Prime. Users enter their existing recovery phrase on the device and connect to a compatible software wallet over USB. Foundation welcomes feedback from beta users to help improve compatibility and installation ahead of the full release this fall.

Legacy Mode is a bridge to native KeyOS apps. As developers release apps built specifically for Passport, users can install them on the same device and choose when to move beyond Legacy Mode.

The Foundation SDK is available now, and KeyOS 1.4.0 introduced app sideloading. This fall, a new KeyOS release will bring Foundation’s app catalog, where users will be able to seamlessly access a growing catalog of native KeyOS apps from Foundation and third-party developers – and install them with a single tap.

Passport Prime is available starting at $349. To see the Switch campaign, supported apps, and installation guides, visit foundation.xyz/switch.

Karen Gallagher Interiors is expanding its full service interior design work to Jupiter and surrounding South Florida communities. The firm focuses on personalized residential interiors for renovations, new construction, waterfront properties and second residences.

The residential design firm brings its personalized approach to renovations new construction and complete home interiors throughout the region

West Palm Beach, Florida, United States, 15th Sep 2026 – Karen Gallagher Interiors is expanding its full-service residential interior design services to Jupiter and surrounding South Florida communities, bringing a personalized approach to homeowners undertaking renovations, new construction, second residences and complete interior transformations. The expansion introduces the firm’s fresh, timeless and refined design perspective to a region known for waterfront properties, coastal architecture and homes that balance indoor and outdoor living.

Personalized Residential Design for South Florida Homes

The firm approaches residential design by first considering how clients live, use their homes and want their surroundings to feel. Each project is developed around the homeowner’s individual preferences rather than a predetermined aesthetic, allowing the design process to respond to the architecture, location and practical requirements of the residence. Projects may range from coastal cottages and waterfront properties to contemporary homes and urban-inspired interiors, with an emphasis on creating spaces that remain comfortable and functional while maintaining a cohesive visual identity.

South Florida presents distinct considerations for residential interiors, including abundant natural light, coastal surroundings, open floor plans and a lifestyle that often places greater emphasis on entertaining and connections between interior and exterior spaces. Karen Gallagher Interiors incorporates those characteristics into the planning process while developing interiors intended to feel appropriate to both the property and the people who live there.

Full Service Guidance From Initial Concepts Through Completion

Karen Gallagher Interiors provides hands-on involvement throughout the design process, helping clients manage the numerous decisions associated with a residential project. The firm’s work can encompass early design concepts, space planning, material and finish selections, furnishings and the final details that establish continuity throughout a home. This full-service structure is intended to maintain a consistent design direction as a project progresses from its initial planning stages through installation and completion.

For renovations and new construction, early coordination can also help homeowners consider how architectural elements, finishes, furnishings and everyday functionality will work together before individual decisions are finalized. For second residences and complete interior updates, the process provides a central design direction that connects individual rooms while accounting for the way the property will be used.

Refined Interiors With an Emphasis on Lasting Appeal

The firm’s design perspective centers on interiors that feel current without depending heavily on short-lived trends. Materials, furnishings, proportions and details are considered as part of a broader composition, with the objective of creating homes that can evolve over time while retaining a sense of continuity.

That approach aligns with the range of residential styles found throughout Jupiter and South Florida, where traditional coastal influences increasingly exist alongside contemporary architecture and more transitional interiors. Rather than applying one style across every project, Karen Gallagher Interiors develops each residence according to its setting, architectural character and the client’s individual priorities.

Serving Jupiter and the Surrounding South Florida Community

The expansion into Jupiter allows Karen Gallagher Interiors to work with homeowners throughout a growing residential market that includes primary homes, seasonal properties, waterfront residences and newly constructed communities. The firm will continue to focus on residential projects requiring individualized design planning and direct involvement throughout the process.

The Jupiter presence represents an extension of Karen Gallagher Interiors’ established approach to residential design, with an emphasis on thoughtful planning, personal collaboration and interiors tailored to the people who occupy them. Additional information about the firm and its interior design services is available through the Karen Gallagher Interiors website.

Physician-led STARDOC Marketing offers hospital-specialized branding strategies using SEO, GEO, and AEO technologies, backed by a trade-area analysis system built on roughly 4 trillion data points. Its reach spans Naver, Google, YouTube, Instagram, and generative AI platforms like GPT and Gemini. Recognized by Seoul Startup Hub (2018) and ranked top 1% by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (2019), it launched a new AI-based GEO platform in 2026.

Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea South, 15th Sep 2026 – STARDOC Marketing (CEO Lee Seung-jun), a hospital-specialized marketing consulting firm led by a physician-turned-CEO, is drawing attention in the AI search market for hospitals, where specialized expertise is increasingly valued.

STARDOC supports opening marketing and online branding for a wide range of medical specialties, including dermatology, orthopedics, dentistry, oriental medicine clinics, and plastic surgery. Because its CEO has a medical background, the company is able to produce content that reflects an understanding of medical terminology and clinical context. Equipped with the latest SEO, GEO, and AEO technologies, STARDOC is one of the few hospital-specialized marketing agencies in Korea capable of maximizing both exposure and conversion rates through website optimization and AI optimization.

In a recent interview, a company representative said, “Unlike conventional marketing that focuses simply on exposure, we establish customized strategies for each hospital through preliminary research, interviews, and brand planning.” The representative added, “In addition to analyzing potential patients and creating authentic content, we operate a media-mix strategy that spans Naver, Google, YouTube, and Instagram, as well as generative AI search platforms such as GPT and Gemini. We also use our proprietary hospital-specific trade-area analysis system, built on roughly 4 trillion data points, as the evidentiary basis for branding strategy — reducing analytical error and dramatically increasing the probability of marketing success.”

STARDOC’s track record includes being selected as an Outstanding Future Growth Engine Company by Seoul Startup Hub in 2018. In 2019, it was named a top 1% company in the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ Big Data-Driven Startup Project and was designated a Big Data Advisory Company by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Since then, the company has expanded into areas such as medical building development and global patient attraction projects, and in 2026 it launched a new AI-based GEO marketing platform.

The company stated, “This service is especially well-suited for hospital directors who haven’t felt the effects of their marketing efforts, or who are still weighing their direction ahead of opening a practice.” It added that directors of hospitals currently using its services have reported achieving revenue targets ahead of schedule and experiencing increased revenue overall. “For hospital directors concerned about revenue amid recent shifts in industry trends, STARDOC’s marketing approach could represent a new opportunity,” the company said.
