Getting Started

Before you begin

Start by understanding that a wallet manages keys and blockchain actions while asset state is maintained by the network. To understand Getting Started, place the concept inside a real on-chain workflow: where the information comes from, what the user confirms, how the network records the result, and which outcomes cannot normally be reversed by a wallet provider. This makes inconsistencies easier to spot across different apps and networks.

Step-by-step workflow

After creation, make a safe backup before exploring addresses, networks, gas and transaction hashes. In practice, start with the intended outcome and then verify the relevant fields. If an address, network, contract or permission connected to Getting Started cannot be explained, stop rather than accepting the default button. Public blockchain data can often be used as a second source of verification.

A practical way to check

Separate what you can verify publicly from what must remain secret. Network names, public addresses, transaction hashes and contract addresses can be checked against public blockchain data. Seed phrases and private keys should never be disclosed for this purpose.

How to verify the result

Receiving requires network and address checks; sending adds amount, gas and post-transaction status verification. Security is not a single “perfect protection” switch. It comes from repeatable habits: trusted entry points, independent checks, least-necessary permissions, offline protection of secret credentials, and a willingness to reject abnormal requests.

Common risks and responses

In Web3, connection, signing and approval are separate decisions, and each can be declined. After an action, verify that the result matches the intention. Save non-secret references such as the transaction hash, network and public address for troubleshooting, while keeping seed phrases, private keys and verification codes private.
