  Sure! When it comes to accessing and viewing ledger balances, crypto exchanges rely on a combination of blockchain technology and their own internal systems. First, they connect to the blockchain network on which the specific cryptocurrency operates. This allows them to access the ledger, which is essentially a decentralized database containing all transaction records. Once connected, the exchange can query the ledger to retrieve the balance of a specific address or wallet. They can also track the flow of funds by analyzing the transaction history. It's important to note that while the ledger is public and transparent, the exchange's internal systems ensure the security and privacy of user balances.

  Accessing and viewing ledger balances on crypto exchanges involves a series of steps. Firstly, the exchange needs to establish a connection with the blockchain network of the respective cryptocurrency. This connection allows the exchange to access the ledger, which contains all the transaction records. The exchange then uses its own internal systems to retrieve the balance of a specific address or wallet from the ledger. This information is then displayed to the user on their account dashboard. It's worth mentioning that exchanges prioritize security and employ various measures to protect user balances from unauthorized access.
