Wallet Guides

Before You Begin

To understand Wallet Guides, start by separating the wallet interface from the underlying chain state. These guides follow real tasks: create, back up, receive, send, inspect a transaction and connect to a DApp. Each workflow includes checks that explain the chain consequence, not just where to click.

Create should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Back up should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Receive should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. If the origin or meaning of a request cannot be verified, stopping and checking a trusted source is safer than approving something that is not understood.

Step 1: Confirm Context and Intent

In everyday use, back up, receive and send often appear in the same workflow. They should be evaluated together in the context of the user’s actual intent rather than as isolated interface labels.

Back up should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Receive should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Send should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. If the origin or meaning of a request cannot be verified, stopping and checking a trusted source is safer than approving something that is not understood.

Step 2: Perform and Review the Action

A useful review model has three moments: confirm the intended context before acting, inspect the requested permission while signing, and verify the public result after submission. This keeps interface assumptions separate from on-chain facts.

Receive should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Send should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Use the transaction hash and block explorer to verify public on-chain history independently. If the origin or meaning of a request cannot be verified, stopping and checking a trusted source is safer than approving something that is not understood.

Step 3: Check the On-chain Result

Many problems that appear complicated are really context mismatches: the wrong network, an unexpected contract, a stale permission or a transaction that is still pending. Breaking the problem into those parts makes independent verification easier.

Send should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Use the transaction hash and block explorer to verify public on-chain history independently. Create should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. If the origin or meaning of a request cannot be verified, stopping and checking a trusted source is safer than approving something that is not understood.

Common Mistakes

A repeatable routine is more dependable than memory. Confirm the network first, then the destination or contract, then the amount, fee and request details, and finally keep the transaction hash or approval record for later checking.

Create should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Back up should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet.

• Confirm the active network
• Verify the destination or contract
• Review the amount and fee
• Understand the signature or approval
• Keep the transaction hash for verification

Security Checklist

The next step is to connect this topic with transfer checks, wallet security and Web3 permissions. Good technical knowledge should help a user decide what to inspect when a request is unfamiliar, not merely define terminology.

Create should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Back up should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. Receive should be verified in the context of the active network, the user’s intended action and the information shown by the wallet. If the origin or meaning of a request cannot be verified, stopping and checking a trusted source is safer than approving something that is not understood.
