What a wallet actually does
How to evaluate it
What a wallet actually does is a distinct part of understanding Getting Started. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. The goal is not to memorize button positions. A safer habit is to identify the request, the network, the permission being granted and the result you expect before you confirm anything.
What a wallet actually does is a distinct part of understanding Getting Started. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Fees, confirmation speed and supported features vary across networks. A wallet interface is only one view of the activity; the corresponding blockchain record remains the stronger reference for transaction status.
- Confirm the object and network related to what a wallet actually does
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Do not approve a request you cannot explain
Create and back up safely

Create and back up safely is a distinct part of understanding Getting Started. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Use a least-privilege mindset. Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and do not lower your review standard because a request claims to be support, an airdrop, an upgrade or an urgent notice.

Receive a first asset
How to evaluate it
Receive a first asset is a distinct part of understanding Getting Started. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Use a least-privilege mindset. Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and do not lower your review standard because a request claims to be support, an airdrop, an upgrade or an urgent notice.
Receive a first asset is a distinct part of understanding Getting Started. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. A repeatable sequence helps: verify the source, check the address and network, review the amount or permission, then keep the transaction hash and verify confirmation on-chain. Stop when details conflict.
- Confirm the object and network related to receive a first asset
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Do not approve a request you cannot explain
