Connection is not permission to spend
A practical routine for transactions, token approvals, signatures, and prompts that are not designed for humans.

The idea,
in words.
Share an address
Connecting a wallet usually shares its public address with a website. It is different from signing a transaction or granting spending permission.
What does this signature do?
A signing request may be a login, transaction or token permission. Some off-chain signatures can authorise spending later.
Check the spender and amount
For token approvals, inspect the spender and allowance. A large allowance can remain usable after the action you intended.
Disconnecting is not revoking
Disconnecting a site does not automatically revoke token approvals. Review permissions through a trusted tool, and decline requests you do not understand.
