Connection sessions
Connection sessions is a distinct part of understanding Web3 & DApps. First identify the network, account and action involved, then compare what the wallet displays with what you actually intend to do. Familiarity with a workflow is not a reason to skip verification for transfers, contract calls or approvals.
Use a repeatable review sequence for connection sessions: network and address first, then asset or contract, then request details, value and fees, and finally the on-chain result after submission. Cancel requests with unclear fields, unfamiliar contracts, unexpectedly broad allowances or pressure to act quickly.
Review the active network, account and target together rather than relying on a page label or icon. For important actions, keep a public address or transaction hash and verify the on-chain result with a block explorer. Stop when interface data conflicts with chain data.
Practical checks
- Confirm the active network and account for connection sessions
- Verify the destination, contract or requested action
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Use a transaction hash to verify the result on-chain
Signature types
Signature types is a distinct part of understanding Web3 & DApps. First identify the network, account and action involved, then compare what the wallet displays with what you actually intend to do. Familiarity with a workflow is not a reason to skip verification for transfers, contract calls or approvals.
Use a repeatable review sequence for signature types: network and address first, then asset or contract, then request details, value and fees, and finally the on-chain result after submission. Cancel requests with unclear fields, unfamiliar contracts, unexpectedly broad allowances or pressure to act quickly.
Seed phrases and private keys are account-control secrets and should never be sent through web forms, chats, email or remote-support sessions. Similar address formats do not make networks interoperable. Before transferring, re-check the network, amount, gas and destination.
Practical checks
- Confirm the active network and account for signature types
- Verify the destination, contract or requested action
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Use a transaction hash to verify the result on-chain
Token approvals
Token approvals is a distinct part of understanding Web3 & DApps. First identify the network, account and action involved, then compare what the wallet displays with what you actually intend to do. Familiarity with a workflow is not a reason to skip verification for transfers, contract calls or approvals.
Use a repeatable review sequence for token approvals: network and address first, then asset or contract, then request details, value and fees, and finally the on-chain result after submission. Cancel requests with unclear fields, unfamiliar contracts, unexpectedly broad allowances or pressure to act quickly.
For important actions, keep a public address or transaction hash and verify the on-chain result with a block explorer. Stop when interface data conflicts with chain data. After connecting to a DApp, inspect every signature, transaction and token approval independently; disconnecting does not necessarily revoke an on-chain allowance.
Practical checks
- Confirm the active network and account for token approvals
- Verify the destination, contract or requested action
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Use a transaction hash to verify the result on-chain
After-use cleanup
After-use cleanup is a distinct part of understanding Web3 & DApps. First identify the network, account and action involved, then compare what the wallet displays with what you actually intend to do. Familiarity with a workflow is not a reason to skip verification for transfers, contract calls or approvals.
Use a repeatable review sequence for after-use cleanup: network and address first, then asset or contract, then request details, value and fees, and finally the on-chain result after submission. Cancel requests with unclear fields, unfamiliar contracts, unexpectedly broad allowances or pressure to act quickly.
Similar address formats do not make networks interoperable. Before transferring, re-check the network, amount, gas and destination. Security is a continuing routine: offline backups, trusted devices, fewer unnecessary approvals, caution on public networks and skepticism toward unexpected requests.
Practical checks
- Confirm the active network and account for after-use cleanup
- Verify the destination, contract or requested action
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Use a transaction hash to verify the result on-chain
