Understand Access source first
Working with DApp Connections is less about memorizing button locations and more about understanding what each action represents on-chain. Access source tells you what is being reviewed now, while Domain checks and Account requests provide context for whether the next action makes sense. Before proceeding, confirm that the wallet and network are the ones you intended to use, then review the address, contract or request origin. If the purpose is unclear or the network does not match, stop rather than guessing.
A reliable DApp Connections workflow keeps verifiable references such as the network name, address or contract address, transaction hash, block-explorer status and the exact permission being requested. Asset names and icons are useful hints but are not a substitute for on-chain identifiers. With Access source, avoid confirming something simply because it looks familiar; spoofed pages, wrong networks and malicious requests are designed to exploit that shortcut.
After an action involving Access source, review the result. If a transaction was created, use its hash to check broadcast, block inclusion and confirmations. If a DApp session or approval was created, identify the connected origin and permission scope, and consider disconnecting or revoking access when it is no longer needed. This turns a one-time action into a process you can verify later.
What to review in practice
- Confirm the active network is the one you intended and understand how Access source relates to the action.
- Verify addresses, contracts and request origins rather than trusting names or icons alone.
- Before submission, review amount, gas, approval scope or signature details; afterward, keep verifiable on-chain references.
How Domain checks changes the workflow
To understand Domain checks, place it back inside the full DApp Connections workflow. Domain checks tells you what is being reviewed now, while Account requests and Network matching provide context for whether the next action makes sense. Before proceeding, confirm that the wallet and network are the ones you intended to use, then review the address, contract or request origin. If the purpose is unclear or the network does not match, stop rather than guessing.

Build a review sequence around Account requests
To understand Account requests, place it back inside the full DApp Connections workflow. Account requests tells you what is being reviewed now, while Network matching and Session management provide context for whether the next action makes sense. Before proceeding, confirm that the wallet and network are the ones you intended to use, then review the address, contract or request origin. If the purpose is unclear or the network does not match, stop rather than guessing.

Risks and common mistakes involving Network matching
To understand Network matching, place it back inside the full DApp Connections workflow. Network matching tells you what is being reviewed now, while Session management and Access source provide context for whether the next action makes sense. Before proceeding, confirm that the wallet and network are the ones you intended to use, then review the address, contract or request origin. If the purpose is unclear or the network does not match, stop rather than guessing.
