Wallet Connection Popup Red Flags

A practical guide to suspicious wallet prompts, approvals, signatures, and transaction requests.

Educational only. Do not share seed phrases, private keys, passwords, two-factor codes, or recovery codes. This site does not provide investment, tax, legal, or trading advice.

Connection Is Not Always Harmless

Connecting a wallet can reveal public addresses and may lead to transaction or signature prompts. The connection itself may be low risk, but the next prompt can be dangerous if it grants approvals or authorizes an action.

Red Flags

The site was sent by DM
The domain is misspelled
The wallet prompt mentions unlimited approval
The transaction costs more than expected
The message is unreadable
The site claims to verify or sync a seed phrase

Slow Down The Flow

You do not need to approve every prompt immediately. Cancel the action, verify the official link, and search the project's docs for the exact flow you are seeing.

Support Boundary

Support can help explain what a prompt appears to request, but it should not tell you to approve a transaction without official context and risk review.
