GUIDE / FEATURE

A practical sequence to follow

01

How the approach works

Explanatory interfaces connect credential ownership, accounts and networks in a more approachable way.

02

Where it is useful

Useful for initial setup, asset review, transaction preparation and planning offline recovery.

03

Important limitations

Illustrative balances are not live holdings, and a warning alone never replaces independent verification.

⚠ IMPORTANT REMINDER

Never disclose your recovery credentials

Treat recovery phrases, private keys and signing prompts as sensitive. Be wary of anyone offering to verify or safeguard a phrase for you.
