Additional info: If you want to read more about the purpose of blocks, decentralization etc. maybe have a look at my guide here (source: github). All about PoW and AuxPoW (for merged mining) at the last pages.

"Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos: The printed version is not free, the complete text is available on GitHub. It's an excellent resource for understanding Bitcoin from a technical perspective.

The target is stored in the block header. You can see it in any block explorer labeled BITS or nBits. It is stored in a compressed format, as described in Mastering Bitcoin https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch10.asciidoc Scroll down to "Target Representation"

Mastering Bitcoin is a free book - https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

I also highly recommend that you Read this book "Mastering bitcoin", its free and open source: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

You should read this chapter - it kinda explains why the chip need to be able to manipulate and access the private key. It works exactly the same way for every hardware wallet.
