A verification sequence for assets and networks
Start by confirming the active blockchain network before interpreting a balance, token contract, or transaction record. Before sending, re-check the recipient address, network, amount, and gas. After submission, keep the transaction hash and inspect execution and confirmation status with a block explorer for the same network.
Asset names and icons are useful labels, but they are not substitutes for on-chain identifiers. When a token name is duplicated across networks, a transaction has just been submitted, or the wallet has recently switched networks, compare the network, contract address, and transaction hash before taking another action.
