๐ก๏ธ Web3 Wallet Security: Stay Safe While Transacting On-Chain
Key Takeaways:
Blockchain transactions are final and irreversible โ always double-check details before confirming.
Verify the full recipient address, not just the beginning or end.
Understand the difference between signing a transaction and signing a message โ both can carry risks.
๐ Before You Sign or Send
Your Binance Wallet is like your digital vault. Every time you interact with a DApp or sign a transaction, pause and review:
Transaction Type: Are you swapping, sending, or approving tokens?
Recipient Address: Check it completely โ scammers use โpoisonโ addresses that mimic real ones.
Token & Chain Info: Make sure youโre using the correct coin and network (e.g., ETH, BSC).
Warnings: If your wallet gives a warning, donโt ignore it!
โ๏ธ Message Signing Risks
Some DApps ask you to sign a message โ this might not move funds, but it can grant permissions (like unlimited token access).
๐ Tip: If the message looks weird or unrelated, donโt sign it. Research first!
