Guide 1Build the concept first
When working with public chains, start by understanding how it relates to EVM. Networks can share similar address formats while maintaining different asset states, fee markets, confirmation behavior, and contract environments. Match the interface label to the actual network context before moving on to Layer 2; this helps prevent mistakes that look correct on screen but are wrong on-chain.
Using public chains as an example, the label shown by an interface is only the first layer of information. The user should still compare it with the active account, the intended network, and the resulting on-chain record. If a request involves both EVM and Layer 2, treat them as separate checks: verify the target, then the fee or permission scope, and finally whether the intended state has been recorded by the correct network. This keeps interface presentation, blockchain facts, and third-party explanations from being mistaken for one another.
Guide 2Review the request before acting
During any EVM workflow, verify the site source, account, network, and request target first. When Layer 2 is involved, read the complete request instead of relying on a button label. When gas is involved, also check the amount, gas details, or permission scope. A deliberate review point before confirmation is more dependable than trying to undo an irreversible action later.
Using EVM as an example, the label shown by an interface is only the first layer of information. The user should still compare it with the active account, the intended network, and the resulting on-chain record. If a request involves both Layer 2 and gas, treat them as separate checks: verify the target, then the fee or permission scope, and finally whether the intended state has been recorded by the correct network. This keeps interface presentation, blockchain facts, and third-party explanations from being mistaken for one another.
Guide 3Verify the on-chain outcome
After an action is submitted, use the transaction hash, block data, status field, and contract address when relevant to verify the result. For Layer 2, the wallet interface is only a view of state; the authoritative record lives on the selected network. If gas does not match expectations, confirm the network and transaction status before attempting confirmations again.

The user should still compare it with the active account, the intended network, and the resulting on-chain record. If a request involves both gas and confirmations, treat them as separate checks: verify the target, then the fee or permission scope, and finally whether the intended state has been recorded by the correct network. This keeps interface presentation, blockchain facts, and third-party explanations from being mistaken for one another.
Guide 4Understand the risk boundaries
Risks around gas often come from choosing the wrong network, approving unread requests, granting broad contract permissions, or operating in an untrusted device environment. While handling confirmations, never send a seed phrase, private key, or verification code to another person. While handling public chains, do not skip checks merely because someone claims to represent official support. On-chain transactions usually cannot be reversed unilaterally by a wallet.

The user should still compare it with the active account, the intended network, and the resulting on-chain record. If a request involves both confirmations and public chains, treat them as separate checks: verify the target, then the fee or permission scope, and finally whether the intended state has been recorded by the correct network. This keeps interface presentation, blockchain facts, and third-party explanations from being mistaken for one another.
