Prepare Before You Start

Send & Receive Guide follows the order in which actions normally happen. Before starting, define the result you want and check the prerequisites for receiving addresses and destination addresses. During the process, do not treat a familiar-looking interface as proof that a request is safe. When network matching, gas or any signature is involved, review the source, network, amount or permission scope one item at a time. For receiving addresses, keep the relevant network, address or status reference and verify it again before the next action. Important states should be understandable from wallet records or on-chain evidence rather than from hidden assumptions.

Follow the Core Steps

Start with receiving addresses. It determines the first object or condition you should identify. Compare it with destination addresses and confirm that both belong to the intended network and action. Then review network matching, because a mismatch in the destination, network or permission scope can cause assets to appear in an unexpected place or can create an irreversible on-chain result. For destination addresses, keep the relevant network, address or status reference and verify it again before the next action. Important states should be understandable from wallet records or on-chain evidence rather than from hidden assumptions.

Verify the On-chain Result

In everyday use, gas is commonly connected to cost, permissions or a state change. Read the request itself rather than relying only on the button label. If amount checks or transaction hashes is relevant, keep verifiable references such as the transaction hash, contract address or network name and compare wallet records with a trustworthy block explorer when appropriate. For network matching, keep the relevant network, address or status reference and verify it again before the next action. Important states should be understandable from wallet records or on-chain evidence rather than from hidden assumptions.

Common Mistakes and Recovery Paths

Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control. Legitimate support should never ask you to disclose a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Because blockchain transfers generally cannot be reversed by a wallet provider, verify the address, network and amount before sending. For DApps, signatures and token approvals, also review the requesting site, the spender and the permission scope. For gas, keep the relevant network, address or status reference and verify it again before the next action. Important states should be understandable from wallet records or on-chain evidence rather than from hidden assumptions.

Questions to ask yourself

  • Is the network the one I intended to use?
  • Do I recognize the destination, contract or spender?
  • Can I explain what will change after I confirm?

Safety Checks Afterward

Consistent habits are more useful than memorizing isolated terms. For Send & Receive Guide, use a repeatable loop: define the goal, verify the network, read the request, complete the action, keep the record, and review permissions afterward. That process gives you concrete evidence to work from even when interfaces, network conditions or third-party services change. For amount checks, keep the relevant network, address or status reference and verify it again before the next action. Important states should be understandable from wallet records or on-chain evidence rather than from hidden assumptions.
