What should I check first?

Real product, team, tokenomics, audits, community, and on-chain activity.

How to spot red flags?

Unreal promises, unaudited contracts, excessive permissions, aggressive marketing.

Total Value Locked. Useful but not the only metric.

What is a token unlock?

Token release schedule. Can add sell pressure as supply increases.

How to assess liquidity?

Volume, depth, and spreads. Avoid illiquid pairs.

What does an audit mean?

Third-party code review. It reduces risk but isn’t a guarantee.

Multiple signatures control. Can improve security if properly set.

How to reduce interaction risk?

Separate wallet, limited approvals, revoke permissions.

CEX or DEX to enter/exit?

Depends on liquidity/fees. On DEX review route and slippage.

Is this financial advice?

No—educational/informational content.

Connect Your Wallet to dApps on BNB Chain: permissions, signing and safety with WalletConnect

Connecting your wallet to a dApp is like opening your front door: safe if you check, risky if you don’t.

TL;DR

✅ Use WalletConnect to link your wallet to dApps.
⚠️ Review permissions before signing.
✅ Keep larger funds in a cold wallet, use a hot one for dApps.
✅ Revoke approvals and disconnect regularly.

Context

dApps are applications running on the blockchain that enable swaps, lending, gaming and more. To use them, you must connect your wallet — but each connection carries risks.

Prerequisites

Compatible wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Binance Web3 Wallet).
Secure internet connection.
Ability to review permissions before signing.

Step by step

Open the dApp in your browser.
Click Connect Wallet.
Select WalletConnect or your wallet directly.
Scan the QR code with your mobile wallet or confirm in-browser.
Review requested permissions carefully.
Sign only if you understand the authorization.

💡 Tip: keep small balances in the wallet you use with dApps. ⚠️ Safety: never connect cold wallets to unknown dApps.

Security checklist

⚠️ Disconnect after using a dApp.
⚠️ Double-check the domain before connecting.
⚠️ Never sign messages you don’t understand.
⚠️ Review and revoke approvals often.
⚠️ Use a hot wallet for activity and a cold one for savings.
⚠️ Keep your wallet updated.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Signing blindly → funds lost. Prevention: always review details.
Leaving sessions open → risk of misuse. Prevention: disconnect after use.
Using main wallet → savings exposed. Prevention: separate wallets.

Practical examples

Safe: user connects MetaMask via WalletConnect, signs only simple swaps.
Unsafe: user grants unlimited token approvals and loses entire balance.

Quick comparisons

WalletConnect: widely supported and secure.
Binance Web3 Wallet: integrated and user-friendly.
MetaMask/Rabby: flexible but require manual review.

Editorial note

Connecting wallets is at the heart of Web3. The real danger isn’t the tool, it’s careless signing.
