Transaction issues

If your Ledger connects but transactions fail, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your Ledger is connected via USB and unlocked.
2. Open the correct app on your Ledger (for example, Solana).
3. Make sure Ledger Wallet is closed.                                                                                                 
4. Enable blind signing: On your Ledger, open the relevant app → Settings → Enable blind signing → set to Enabled.
