Build the right mental model
When learning about Network Guides, separate account control, the selected network and on-chain state. A wallet helps create or import accounts, prepare requests and present blockchain data, while the underlying network records the authoritative state. Checking the network, address format and request intent before acting reduces avoidable mistakes.
For practical use of Network Guides, favor small and verifiable steps. Before sending, compare the full destination address, network, token contract and amount. Before signing or approving, confirm the request comes from the site you intended to use and review its scope. Once a transaction is confirmed on-chain, a wallet generally cannot reverse it on its own.
- Confirm the active network and address purpose
- Verify final state with a blockchain explorer
- Do not confuse a UI balance with the underlying asset record

Seed phrases and private keys are core control secrets and should remain under the user’s custody. Official staff should never ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Do not send these secrets through chat, forms, email or screenshots. Offline backups stored in a controlled location are preferable to casual cloud or shared-device storage.
- Check address, network and amount before sending
- Read every signing request
- Keep the transaction hash for verification

For DApps, smart contracts and third-party services, distinguish an account connection from permission to perform a specific action. A connection does not make later signatures automatically safe. Review every signature, transaction and token approval separately, including the target, network, spending limit and possible asset impact. Remove stale connections and approvals when appropriate.
- Store seed phrases and private keys offline
- Official staff should never request recovery secrets
- Avoid sensitive actions on public or shared devices

- Review approval targets and limits
- Remove permissions you no longer use
- Third-party DApps and smart contracts carry independent risk
