What does clear signing mean for transaction safety?
Clear signing makes crypto transactions transparent by showing all details before approval.
What is clear signing?
Clear signing brings full transparency to crypto transactions. It allows users to see every detail of what they are authorizing, including token movements, contract addresses and permissions, in clear, human-readable language. Instead of showing an unreadable hash, the confirmation screen reveals exactly what will happen once the transaction is signed.
What's wrong with blind signing?
Blind signing happens when a user approves a transaction without understanding what is being authorized. It is like signing a blank cheque that could result in losing assets or granting permissions to a malicious contract. Some wallets still rely on blind signing, leaving users vulnerable to errors and scams.
How does clear signing work in 1inch wallet?
The 1inch Wallet removes the risk of blind signing with its transaction decoder. Each transaction is displayed in plain language, showing the real outcome before confirmation. The same clarity is preserved in the Activity section, where users can review their transaction history and always see what was signed.
Why is clear signing important for crypto users?
Clear signing ensures that every interaction in Web3 is transparent and understandable. It helps users stay in control of their assets and reduces the risk of fraud or accidental approvals. Building a future where every transaction can be clear-signed is essential for a safer, more trustworthy ecosystem.
What can go wrong without clear signing?
Without clear signing, users can unknowingly
- Approve unlimited token access to malicious contracts
- Send assets to the wrong address
- Trigger unintended actions hidden in transaction data
Clear signing prevents these mistakes by revealing the exact outcome before confirmation. Transparency gives confidence in every transaction and helps make crypto interactions safer for everyone.
