this one habit could save you from your next on-chain mistake
the most expensive mistakes i’ve seen on-chain didn’t come from bad strategies. they came from rushing.
click. sign. approve. done.
that tiny moment between opening your wallet and hitting “confirm” is where everything changes.
most people treat it like a formality. but that’s the habit that gets wallets drained, approvals abused, and funds sent into the void. not because people are careless, but because they’re moving too fast.
the habit is simple: pause before you sign.
read the transaction. actually read it. check the address. ask yourself what permission you’re granting and whether it still makes sense. if something feels off, stop.
on-chain actions are irreversible. there’s no “undo,” no customer support, no chargeback. once it’s signed, it’s final. that’s power, but it demands patience.
ironically, slowing down is what keeps you moving forward.
the professionals aren’t faster because they rush. they’re faster because they’ve learned when not to.
so before your next transaction, take a breath. that pause might not feel productive, but it could be the cheapest insurance you ever buy on-chain.
