What is a wallet?
A wallet helps manage addresses, asset displays and on-chain interactions controlled by cryptographic keys. It is not a bank account; asset state is recorded by blockchain networks.
How are seed phrases and private keys different?
A seed phrase commonly restores a set of keys, while a private key directly controls an address. Both are highly sensitive and should be stored offline.
Will official support ask for my seed phrase?
No. Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone.
Why verify the network before sending?
The same asset name can appear on different networks. A wrong network can lead to an unexpected settlement path.
What is gas?
Gas is the fee mechanism for executing on-chain actions, with cost determined by network rules and congestion.
What is a transaction hash for?
A transaction hash locates a public transaction in an explorer, including status, block and confirmation progress.
What should I do if a transaction is pending?
Check network conditions, gas settings, nonce and explorer data before submitting uncertain duplicate actions.
Does connecting a DApp automatically move assets?
A connection usually establishes an account session, but later signatures, approvals or transactions can have different effects, so review each separately.
Is a message signature the same as a transaction signature?
No. A message signature may not create an on-chain transaction directly, but it can still authorize identity or protocol actions.
What is a token approval?
An approval lets a specified contract use tokens within a defined scope. Review the spender, allowance and purpose.
Is unlimited approval always safe?
No. Larger allowances create greater potential exposure. Match permissions to the task and remove approvals you no longer need.
What do EVM networks have in common?
They often share similar address and contract execution models, while network state, gas, assets and contract addresses can still differ.
How does Layer 2 relate to a base layer?
Layer 2 systems maintain settlement, data or security relationships with a base layer. Cross-layer transfers require bridge and settlement checks.
How can I reduce phishing risk?
Verify domains, reject support requests for seed phrases, and never skip signature review because of an airdrop or urgent prompt.
Does Ethereum staking provide a fixed annual rate?
No fixed or guaranteed return applies. Rewards depend on network conditions, with validator, contract, exit-delay and price risks.
What risks can validators face?
Validators can face penalties based on network rules, operational state or protocol violations, and exits may involve waiting periods.
What information helps with support troubleshooting?
Prepare public addresses, transaction hashes, network names, error messages and a rough time window, but never provide seed phrases, private keys or verification codes.
