Before you begin

Use a trusted device, verify the intended network and keep public account details available for checking.

Key principle

No step requires sending a seed phrase or private key to another person.

Understand networks and chain IDs

When learning about Network Guides, start with what actually changes on-chain rather than memorising where a button sits. For networks and chain IDs, separate the wallet interface, the selected network and the action you personally approved. That model remains useful across devices and helps you verify outcomes with an explorer instead of relying on interface colour or status alone.

networks and chain IDs usually spans three layers: account control on the user’s device, the rules of the selected network, and the state already recorded on-chain. A mismatch can appear as a missing balance, a pending transaction or an unexpected DApp request. Troubleshooting should rely on public information such as a transaction hash, network name and public address, never on a seed phrase or private key.

In day-to-day use, networks and chain IDs is often missed because the next prompt looks familiar. A stronger habit is to separate each critical action into source, network, target and result checks. Transfers, signatures, approvals and contract calls should each be treated as a new decision; connecting a wallet is not a reason to trust every later request.

Practical check

Keep public verification data separate from sensitive control data: addresses, networks and transaction hashes can be used for checking, while seed phrases, private keys and verification codes should never be sent to another person.

Working with gas and confirmation

gas and confirmation usually spans three layers: account control on the user’s device, the rules of the selected network, and the state already recorded on-chain. A mismatch can appear as a missing balance, a pending transaction or an unexpected DApp request. Troubleshooting should rely on public information such as a transaction hash, network name and public address, never on a seed phrase or private key.

Transfers, signatures, approvals and contract calls should each be treated as a new decision; connecting a wallet is not a reason to trust every later request.

Network Guides also connects to gas, confirmations, contract addresses, DApp permissions and device security. Keeping a record of public transaction hashes, checking the destination network and reviewing stale connections or approvals after use makes later verification easier and reduces dependence on memory.

Important

Seed phrases and private keys should remain under the user’s control. Official staff should never ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Before a transfer, signature or approval, review the address, network, amount, domain, contract and permission context. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet on its own.
