Core security principles
A fixed pre-transfer review order—asset, network, recipient, amount, fee, and any memo or extra field—helps reduce omissions. When working with Transaction Checks, 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.
Address poisoning and clipboard replacement exploit the habit of checking only a few characters, so higher-value transfers deserve a more complete address comparison. In a real workflow, Transaction Checks 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 Transaction Checks 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 sending to a new address or unfamiliar network for the first time, a small test transfer may be useful when the extra fee and delay are acceptable. 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. 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.
Order of operations

- 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

A fixed pre-transfer review order—asset, network, recipient, amount, fee, and any memo or extra field—helps reduce omissions. After a Transaction Checks 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.
Risk signals

- Use public information for verification and never submit a seed phrase, private key, or verification code
