💡General Notes

When interacting with blockchain applications and smart contracts, it's important to be aware of the following best practices and potential risks:

  • Exercise Caution: Always proceed carefully when engaging with smart contracts or decentralized applications (dApps). Even well-tested systems may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities.

  • Understand Smart Contract Risks: While audits, testing, and bug bounty programs aim to reduce the likelihood of exploits, no smart contract is entirely risk-free.

  • Beware of Phishing and Scams: Phishing attacks remain a major threat in the blockchain space. These scams may attempt to steal your:

    • Private keys

    • Seed phrases

    • Other sensitive credentials

    • Wallet permissions via misleading transaction prompts

  • Use Wallet Separation for Security: Consider maintaining two separate wallets:

    • A main wallet for holding your primary funds.

    • A secondary wallet for interacting with new or untrusted dApps.

  • Verify Transactions Before Signing: When prompted to sign a transaction:

    • Carefully review the contract address and action.

    • Most modern wallets display the transaction method name — double-check this before approving any operation.

Staying vigilant and informed helps reduce risk and ensures a safer blockchain experience.
