This is the section where you will **expand the content** to meet the 1600-word requirement. You can detail the staking process for specific coins (e.g., Ethereum staking with Lido, Polkadot, Tezos), provide step-by-step guides on connecting different Ledger models (Nano S Plus, Nano X), explain the security architecture (Secure Element vs. Operating System), and list all advanced features like account segregation, custom fees, and transaction signing. Use multiple paragraphs, subheadings (h3/h4), and bulleted lists to break up the text.
Unlike software wallets, Ledger Live never holds your private keys. The application simply facilitates the communication between the blockchain and your hardware device. When you initiate a transaction, the request is sent to your Ledger Nano. The sensitive cryptographic signature happens **entirely within the certified Secure Element chip**, a technology that is resistant to sophisticated attacks. This isolation is the foundation of the safety promise, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain inaccessible to hackers.
