Leather

A Bitcoin total can be larger than the amount Leather lets you send. Pending payments, very small received amounts and protected Ordinal inscriptions can all explain the difference. This is useful context before assuming that a wallet balance is missing.

The browser extension starts with Create new wallet. It presents a 24-word Secret Key, meaning the recovery phrase, then asks you to confirm the backup and set a local password. Preserve the words before relying on the wallet. Leather currently warns about fraudulent two-factor-authentication emails and says it never emails users.

To make a Bitcoin payment, choose Send and Bitcoin (BTC), then enter the amount and receiving address. Continue to the fee choice: Standard, Priority or Custom. Review the destination, amount and selected charge before the final confirmation. Activity shows the broadcast payment. The free app does not remove Bitcoin's network fee, and the balance must cover both the amount and that fee.

Inscription protection reserves Bitcoin amounts carrying collectibles. Small ordinary amounts can also be uneconomical when their spending fee exceeds their value. The Collectibles tab offers individual Unprotect controls and an Unprotect all inscriptions option. Removing that protection makes the affected Bitcoin spendable, so consider the collectible attached to it before changing the setting.

Leather connects to swaps, bridges and other financial applications through integrations such as Bitflow and Velar. Their available routes, prices and access conditions are distinct from creating the wallet. Transfers cannot simply be reversed after a wrong destination is confirmed, and token values can fall.
