Verify the source before connecting
Key idea
Connecting to a DApp only establishes a session; it does not make later requests trustworthy by default. Message signatures, token approvals and contract transactions are different actions, and each should be reviewed independently for domain, account, contract, amount and permission scope. For Smart Contract Interaction, start by identifying the object you are actually interacting with. Interface labels and icons are not enough; addresses, network names, contract addresses and transaction hashes should be cross-checked against verifiable on-chain information when appropriate.

Connecting to a DApp only establishes a session; it does not make later requests trustworthy by default. Message signatures, token approvals and contract transactions are different actions, and each should be reviewed independently for domain, account, contract, amount and permission scope. Before submitting a transfer, signature or approval, perform a final review of the destination, network, asset, amount, gas terms, contract and permission scope. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by the wallet alone, so prevention is more reliable than recovery.

Message signatures, token approvals and contract transactions are different actions, and each should be reviewed independently for domain, account, contract, amount and permission scope. If information conflicts, stop the action and verify the source again. Urgency, countdowns or claims from supposed support staff should not reduce your checking standards. If a DApp or contract is unfamiliar, cancel the request and verify its public documentation and contract address first.

Action checklist
- Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone.
- Check the address, network and amount before transfers.
- Review the domain, contract and permissions before signing for a DApp.
- Consider revoking approvals that are no longer needed.
On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by the wallet alone. Third-party DApps, smart contracts and network services may involve technical or operational risk.
