Understand Accounts and addresses first
In Wallet & Assets, identifying who initiated a request, which network is involved and what will change matters more than moving quickly. Accounts and addresses tells you what is being reviewed now, while Networks and assets and Receive and send 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 Wallet & Assets 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 Accounts and addresses, 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 Accounts and addresses, 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 Accounts and addresses 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 Networks and assets changes the workflow
To understand Networks and assets, place it back inside the full Wallet & Assets workflow. Networks and assets tells you what is being reviewed now, while Receive and send and Transaction history 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 Receive and send
To understand Receive and send, place it back inside the full Wallet & Assets workflow. Receive and send tells you what is being reviewed now, while Transaction history and Safety checks 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 Transaction history
To understand Transaction history, place it back inside the full Wallet & Assets workflow. Transaction history tells you what is being reviewed now, while Safety checks and Accounts and addresses 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.

To understand Safety checks, place it back inside the full Wallet & Assets workflow. Safety checks tells you what is being reviewed now, while Accounts and addresses and Networks and assets provide context for whether the next action makes sense.
