Security and Privacy Foundations

The Ledger approach centers on hardware-enforced security and user sovereignty. Private keys are stored on the hardware device, and even a compromised computer cannot access them. Transactions must be approved on the device, providing a physical layer of verification that phishing attempts and malware cannot bypass. Regular firmware updates and third-party audits reinforce ongoing security and trust in the ecosystem.
