## How the app works

### Screen saver

The screen saver is the one provided by Ledger ([Configure screen saver timeout](https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017152034-Configure-PIN-lock-and-screen-saver?docs=true)).

On Nanos devices, the Ledger screensaver can slow down the baking app. This is why it is deactivated during signings.
After a signature, a low-cost screensaver will take over. It will switch the screen off after 20 seconds of inactivity.
Press any button to exit sleep mode. When the sleep mode is exited, the Ledger screen saver will take over again if there are no more signatures.

### High water mark (HWM)

To avoid double baking, double attestation and double pre-attestation, the application maintains a high water mark (HWM) corresponding to the last level/round encountered during signature requests. The HWMs are displayed on the home screen and are updated after each signature.
