A wallet connection begins with a website, but the meaningful risk appears in the permissions and transactions that follow. A familiar logo or professional design does not establish that the destination is legitimate.

Verify the destination independently​

Do not trust a link from an advertisement, direct message or urgent reply. Find the project's official domain through a source you already trust and compare spelling carefully. Watch for added words, alternate characters and unexpected subdomains.

Search for public warnings, but remember that a newly created phishing domain may have no reputation history.


Read the wallet request​

Connecting an address is different from signing a message, approving token access or sending a transaction. Check the network, contract, token allowance and recipient. Reject unlimited approval when a smaller amount is sufficient.

If the wallet cannot explain the request, stop and investigate instead of signing to see what happens.


Limit the impact​

Use a separate wallet for experimental applications and keep long-term holdings isolated. Review and revoke obsolete approvals through trusted tools. Never disclose a recovery phrase to connect, verify or restore access to a website.

If you suspect a malicious signature, preserve the transaction details and move remaining assets only after understanding which permissions were exposed.
