A signing window for a transfer of $DOGE pops up, showing a string of hexadecimal characters. The very bottom line reads “Signature type: ALL.” Most people click Confirm right away.
That line determines whether you’re locking in this one transaction or an entire class of transactions. ALL commits every input and output to the signature; NONE and SINGLE sign only part of the content, while ANYONECANPAY lets someone add things to the transaction afterward. If you choose one of the latter three, the transaction you confirm may not be the same as the one ultimately recorded on-chain.
So the signature type isn’t a technical detail—it answers the question, “Can someone still change the transaction I agreed to?” If you can’t understand that line, you’re effectively handing over the right to make changes.
#Dogecoin #Web3 Risk alert: This is worth checking every time.
