Control starts with private keys
Security is a repeatable process rather than a single feature. Seed phrases and private keys should remain under the user’s control, and official personnel should never ask for them. Any website, chat, or remote-support request that asks you to send a recovery phrase, private key, or verification code should be treated as high risk. For control starts with private keys, separate the object you are acting on, the active network, the expected outcome, and the evidence you can independently verify. Do not rely on interface wording alone; use addresses, transaction hashes, explorers, and contract details where appropriate. For this topic, a useful sequence is: understand the concept, check before acting, submit only when the details are clear, verify on-chain status, and review any permissions that remain afterward.

Signature and approval checks
Security is a repeatable process rather than a single feature. Seed phrases and private keys should remain under the user’s control, and official personnel should never ask for them. Any website, chat, or remote-support request that asks you to send a recovery phrase, private key, or verification code should be treated as high risk. An approval usually gives a contract permission to spend within a defined scope. It may not move assets immediately, but broad or persistent permissions can increase exposure. Review the spender, allowance, network, and whether the permission is still needed. For this topic, a useful sequence is: understand the concept, check before acting, submit only when the details are clear, verify on-chain status, and review any permissions that remain afterward.
