Web3 & DApp
A connection is only the beginning of the review
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature or approval should be accepted. Treat each request as a separate decision.

Security
Security comes from repeatable checks, not absolute promises
Protect seed phrases and private keys, keep backups offline, verify domains, inspect signatures, and compare the address, network, and amount before transfers. Public devices and networks add risk, and third-party contracts can behave independently from the wallet interface.

- Never disclose private keys
- Verify network and address
- Inspect signature requests
- Manage DApp approvals
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps, and approvals. Each concept answers a different question about ownership, routing, fees, verification, or permission.

FAQ
Common questions before you act
How are a wallet and an account address related?
A wallet manages key material and presents on-chain account information. An address is a public identifier used to receive assets; seed phrases and private keys must remain private.
Should I save my seed phrase as a screenshot?
It is not recommended. Screenshots can be synced to cloud services or accessed by other applications. Offline physical storage is generally safer.
What is the difference between a private key and a seed phrase?
A private key can control a specific account, while a seed phrase can derive multiple accounts. Both are highly sensitive recovery material.
Why verify the network before sending?
The same asset name can exist on different networks. A transfer on the wrong network may not be recognized or processed as expected by the recipient.
What is gas?
Gas represents the computational resources used by a network to process transactions or contract interactions. Fees vary with network demand and transaction complexity.
What is a transaction hash used for?
A transaction hash identifies a specific on-chain transaction and can be used in a block explorer to inspect broadcast, inclusion, and confirmation status.
