Wallet Unlocks and App Approvals

Decentralized Apps use approval prompts to ask for access or an action. The prompt is a decision point, not a routine obstacle.

Before approving​

Confirm all three:

  1. You recognize and trust the app.
  2. The requested action matches what you just selected.
  3. The account, amount, recipient, resource, or publish mode is correct.

High-risk confirmations apply to spending, signing, name operations, trades and assets, deployments, polls or votes, and large publishing batches. Keep these confirmations enabled.

Wallet unlocks​

An unlock allows compatible requests for a limited period, but it does not remove the need for high-risk confirmation. Use the shortest reasonable unlock window and lock or sign out when finished on a shared device.

Cancel any request you did not initiate. If prompts continue, close the app and report its name and the request shown—without sharing passwords, seeds, or private keys.
