Check the prerequisites first
Before connecting to a DApp, verify the domain and how you reached it because phishing sites often use similar spellings, ads, or direct-message links. When working with DApp Connections, separate what the interface displays from facts that can be verified on-chain. A wallet can organize information and prepare requests, but the network, address, contract, and final transaction state still need independent context. If a critical field cannot be explained, stop before confirming and verify it again instead of responding to urgency from a page, an unknown contact, or short-term market movement.
A connection request is not normally the same as a transfer, but every later signature, approval, or contract request must be reviewed again on its own. In a real workflow, DApp Connections should not be reduced to a single click or one status message. Review the network, account, requested action, amount, and permission scope as separate checkpoints so inconsistencies become visible earlier. If a critical field cannot be explained, stop before confirming and verify it again instead of responding to urgency from a page, an unknown contact, or short-term market movement.
Key fields
- Confirm that the network, address, or contract involved in DApp Connections matches the intended context
- Use public information for verification and never submit a seed phrase, private key, or verification code
- Treat signatures, approvals, transfers, and contract calls as separate decisions rather than permanent trust

When you stop using a DApp, disconnect the session; if token permissions were granted, review those on-chain approvals separately. Risk often hides inside familiar-looking details. Similar names, addresses, domains, and repeated confirmation dialogs can make a request feel routine even when the underlying target or authority is different.

Before connecting to a DApp, verify the domain and how you reached it because phishing sites often use similar spellings, ads, or direct-message links. After a DApp Connections action, review the final state and retain non-secret reference information such as the transaction hash, network name, or contract address when relevant so later verification is possible. If a critical field cannot be explained, stop before confirming and verify it again instead of responding to urgency from a page, an unknown contact, or short-term market movement.
