Before starting Getting Started, gather the information related to understand wallets, create a wallet, and back up a seed phrase. For a first wallet experience, establish the basics—addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas and transaction hashes—before moving into real transactions. Do not search for recovery material on an unfamiliar site or skip a network, address or permission check simply because the workflow looks familiar. Good preparation makes later anomalies easier to notice.
Key point: understand networks
During the action, treat understand networks and first receive as separate checkpoints rather than one combined confirmation. When a state related to first send appears, make sure it belongs to the intended network and object. If the request differs from what you expected, stop and re-check instead of submitting the same request several times.
After completion, keep enough public information to review the result. Revisit understand wallets, confirm that create a wallet and back up a seed phrase match the intended outcome, and make sure understand networks has not left an unnecessary permission behind. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, so post-action review is part of the workflow, not an optional extra.
