Wallet Permissions Explained
A plain-language introduction to approvals, signatures and permission prompts.
Not all prompts are the same
A wallet may show a connection request, a message signature, or a transaction approval. Each can have different implications, and the exact effect depends on the application and network.
Read before accepting
Review the website identity, requested action, network and displayed permissions. If the purpose is unclear, decline and investigate.
Reviewing prior access
Some networks and applications provide ways to review permissions. Use trusted documentation to understand what a specific review tool can and cannot show.
Security is ongoing
A prior approval does not mean every later request is safe. Build a habit of verifying context each time.
