Keys and devices
Hardware changes where approval happens
The screen you trust is part of the security model.
The Foundation’s wallet directory includes hardware and software options, and vendors such as Trezor maintain Litecoin support pages. A directory is a discovery tool, not certification that every model supports every Litecoin address type or MWEB workflow. Compatibility belongs to an exact device, firmware version and companion application.
Our conceptual model separates three jobs: constructing a transaction, checking its meaning and producing a signature. A dedicated signer can keep sensitive keys away from a general-purpose computer, but the person still needs to understand what the device asks them to approve. Recovery is another system entirely: an intact device is not a substitute for a workable backup plan, and a backup phrase is not information to give a helper. A thoughtful setup makes both everyday use and a bad day understandable. No device was purchased, connected or used to sign anything for this edition.
- Verify model, firmware and address support together.
- A recovery phrase never belongs in a public contribution form.
