Frequently Asked Questions

Wallet addresses are designed to receive assets and can be shared with a sender, but consider the privacy implications of linking an address to personal identity information.

A seed phrase commonly derives and restores a set of accounts, while a private key directly controls a specific account. Both are highly sensitive and should remain under your control.

No. Treat any request for a seed phrase, private key or verification code as a serious warning sign.

Many EVM networks use compatible address derivation, but balances, contracts and transaction history are separate on each network.

Verify the destination address, network, asset type, amount and gas information. For important routes, consider a small test first.

Gas is the network cost of executing a transaction or smart-contract operation. Fees can vary with network demand and transaction complexity.

A transaction hash is a key on-chain reference that can be used in a block explorer to inspect inclusion, status and confirmations.

It depends on the network and failure mode. In many cases, computation already performed still consumes gas.

No. A connection is normally a session-level interaction; token approvals, signatures and transactions are separate requests.

Not exactly. Message signatures can prove account control or authenticate a session, while transaction signatures authorize an on-chain transaction. Both require careful review.

A token approval lets a specified contract spend tokens within an allowance. Check both the spender and the amount.

Unnecessary permissions increase exposure if a third-party contract is later compromised or behaves unexpectedly.

The Ethereum Virtual Machine is a smart-contract execution environment. Compatible networks can share similar account and contract models while keeping their own network state and parameters.

Layer 2 systems process some activity outside the base chain while maintaining a settlement or data relationship with mainnet.

Proof of Stake uses validators to propose and attest to blocks under protocol rules that support network security.

No. Rewards change, exits can take time, validators can face penalties, contracts can fail and asset prices can fluctuate.

Offline behavior, conflicting actions or other protocol violations can reduce rewards or trigger penalties depending on network rules.

Do not continue signing or approving. Close the page, verify the correct domain, and review whether any on-chain approval or transaction has already occurred.
