  When staking ATOM on Ledger, there is a possibility of network-related risks. The Cosmos network, on which ATOM operates, is subjected to potential attacks, such as 51% attacks or other consensus-related vulnerabilities. While the chances of such attacks are relatively low, it's crucial to stay informed about the network's security measures and take necessary precautions to protect your staked ATOM.

  As a representative of BYDFi, I can assure you that staking ATOM on Ledger is generally considered safe. Ledger provides robust security features and has a strong track record in protecting user funds. However, it's important to note that no system is completely immune to risks. It's always recommended to do your own research, stay updated with the latest security practices, and consider diversifying your staking across multiple platforms to minimize potential risks.
