Create & Backup

Before you begin

Create & Backup makes more sense when wallet creation, wallet import, seed phrase, offline backup, backup verification are considered as parts of one on-chain workflow. When a request is unclear, stop before signing or transferring and verify the network and on-chain record from a trusted path.

During real use, confirm the active network and account first, then verify the object, scope and expected outcome related to wallet creation. Any action that changes assets, permissions or account state deserves a full review before confirmation.

For wallet import, prefer information that can be independently checked: the wallet transaction summary, the relevant network explorer, an explicit contract address or an official product page. The goal is not to memorize more terminology, but to make each action explainable, verifiable and reviewable.

When seed phrase is involved, separate display data from on-chain facts. Names, icons and fiat estimates may come from external data sources, while balances, transaction state and approvals should be verified on the selected network.

For offline backup, retain the transaction hash or other useful reference when appropriate. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed unilaterally by a wallet, which makes pre-broadcast checks of the address, network, amount and permissions especially important.

Finally, consider backup verification. Third-party DApps, smart contracts and network services can introduce technical, operational and market risk. Unclear signatures, unnecessarily broad approvals, or any page asking for a seed phrase or private key are reasons to stop and re-check the request.
