Solve a synchronization error in Ledger Live - kotekdorinda/Ledger-Fixes-and-Guides-213 GitHub Wiki

A synchronization error may occur in Ledger Live when there is or has been a temporary problem with Ledger’s blockchain explorers or network. 

This problem can be solved by first updating to the latest version of Ledger Live.

Once everything is updated, clear the cache after the service has been restored. To clear your cache, simply go to the Settings menu -> Help -> Clear Cache.

Ledger’s blockchain explorers are full nodes that validate, store, and index all the transactions on various blockchain networks. Ledger Live calculates the balance for each of your accounts by requesting the transaction history from the blockchain explorers. 

 Are your coins still safe?

Yes, your coins remain secure. During a synchronization error, Ledger Live cannot be used to manage your coins like sending, checking the correct balance, or staking. Your coins are safe on the blockchain and your private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger device. During the outage, you can use the third-party wallet of the troubled asset

Please download the last update of Ledger Live Application:

1.Ledger Live for Windows 10/11

2.Ledger Live for MAC

3.Ledger Live for Android
