Ledger x NFT: Every Major Collaboration, Ranked by Rarity
Ranked rarest to most accessible: Forgotten Runes (1 of 233), VeeFriends (1 of 555), RTFKT Chalk Blade (1,000 units), The Hundreds x Adam Bomb Squad (mostly claim-only, one public colorway), Clay Nation (undocumented small run), and Nouns (a short public sale through Ledger’s own shop). This isn’t a vibe-based ranking - it’s ordered by documented production numbers first, and how hard the edition is to independently verify second.
How we’re ranking these
Six of the more recognizable names to cross over into Ledger hardware are covered here in the order that reflects how they were actually released, not how loudly each one markets itself as “limited.” A numbered redemption program with a public claim window is a harder, more verifiable kind of rare than an edition with no public number at all - even when both get called “limited edition.” Where a collaboration has a documented cap, we use it. Where it doesn’t, we rank by how traceable the release actually is.
This is the same standard we hold every listing in our Ledger Collection to: state what’s documented, say plainly when something isn’t.
No. 1: Forgotten Runes - 1 of 233
The rarest of the six by a clear margin. Ledger’s Forgotten Runes edition went out through Ledger’s Market redemption program in December 2022: Genesis Pass holders got a 48-hour early claim window starting December 20, with the mint opening to the public on December 22. Only 233 of the redemption NFTs exist, putting a hard, documented ceiling on how many physical devices could ever exist. The casing design references Forgotten Runes’ own “Sacred Key” lore rather than just carrying a logo.
No. 2: VeeFriends - 1 of 555
The VeeFriends VeeCon 2022 Edition was produced exclusively for VeeCon 2022 - Gary Vaynerchuk’s annual conference for VeeFriends NFT holders - and distributed only at Ledger’s booth on-site. 555 units were made - there was no retail channel before or after the event. A specific number tied to a specific, now-closed event is exactly the kind of scarcity that holds up to scrutiny.
No. 3: RTFKT Chalk Blade - capped at 1,000 units
RTFKT, the Nike-owned digital-fashion studio, and Ledger announced their partnership February 27, 2023, at NFT Paris. The Chalk Blade Edition went on public sale that December, capped at 1,000 units - the largest documented number on this list, but still a hard cap, and the only collaboration here that changes the physical device itself: a white casing, a transparent smoked-glass button, and a matte soft-touch sleeve instead of Ledger’s standard box. Each one also included a QR code to claim a bundled digital collectible.
No. 4: The Hundreds x Adam Bomb Squad - one collaboration, four outcomes
The Hundreds released this collaboration on June 22, 2022, printing an allover Adam Bomb character across the stainless steel cover in four colorways. Only black was ever a real retail SKU, sold through Ledger’s own shop for anyone to buy. Blue, green, and red were never sold at all - they went only to Adam Bomb Squad NFT holders whose NFT carried the matching sticker trait, claimed rather than purchased.
Ledger never published a total for how many NFTs carried each color trait, so there’s no hard number to rank this against the top three. But “gated to a specific on-chain trait, not sold to anyone with money” is a narrower, more verifiable path to ownership than an open retail listing - which is why the three claim-only colorways rank above black, the one colorway anyone could simply buy.
No. 5: Clay Nation - undocumented, and that’s the point
Clay Nation is a claymation-style PFP project on Cardano, and this box - deep purple instead of Ledger’s standard white, with the Clay Nation logo printed alongside Ledger’s - is officially rated Common in our catalog. But no public announcement or product page for this specific box has surfaced anywhere. Co-branded boxes with a custom case color like this typically move through a partner’s own channels - holder rewards, community giveaways - rather than a public Ledger listing, and that’s the case here: the packaging itself is what confirms it exists.
That’s a different kind of scarcity than a numbered drop - not “documented and capped,” but “genuinely hard to trace,” which is its own reason sealed examples are uncommon.
No. 6: Nouns - the most accessible of the six
The Nouns DAO edition is the most straightforward release on this list: Ledger sold it directly through its own shop, for a limited time, before pulling it. No claim gate, no NFT-holder requirement - just a public listing with a start and an end date, carrying Nouns’ recognizable pixel-glasses logo next to Ledger’s own mark. It’s officially Common, and unlike Clay Nation, it’s easy to verify: Ledger’s own shop listing documents it directly.

Frequently asked questions
Why does The Hundreds x Adam Bomb Squad count as one entry when there are four separate colorways?
Because it’s one collaboration with one release date and one story - the four colorways are different distribution outcomes of that same partnership, not four independent collaborations. We link to all four product pages individually since each is its own real listing.
Does “Common” rarity mean an edition isn’t valuable or interesting?
No - it means the site’s rarity field reflects how hard a sealed example is to find today, not how good a story the edition has. Nouns and Clay Nation are both Common, but for different reasons: Nouns because it had a real (if brief) public sale, Clay Nation because there’s so little public documentation that “hard to find” and “hard to verify” become the same problem.
Is an unnumbered edition automatically less rare than a numbered one?
Not automatically - it just means we can’t verify a specific ceiling, so we rank it below the entries where we can. The Hundreds’ claim-only colorways could plausibly be smaller runs than RTFKT’s 1,000-unit cap; we simply don’t have a published number to confirm it either way, which is why documented numbers rank first here.
