Before you begin
Send & Receive makes more sense when receive address, sending network, amount checks, Gas, transaction hash are considered as parts of one on-chain workflow. The same address format can appear across different network contexts, so appearance alone is not enough to confirm the correct destination.
During real use, confirm the active network and account first, then verify the object, scope and expected outcome related to receive address. Any action that changes assets, permissions or account state deserves a full review before confirmation.
Work through the steps
During real use, confirm the active network and account first, then verify the object, scope and expected outcome related to receive address. Any action that changes assets, permissions or account state deserves a full review before confirmation.
For sending network, prefer information that can be independently checked: the wallet transaction summary, the relevant network explorer, an explicit contract address or an official product page. A wallet interface is only the entry point; the important checks concern the network, address, contract and on-chain state.

When amount checks 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 Gas, 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 transaction hash. 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.
