Your device displays a long string of garbled-looking characters and asks you to confirm. What should you do?
One detail: legacy signing methods like eth_sign can sign any hash, which could be a transaction. Some wallets have disabled it by default.
Blind signing means leaving all the checking to the website making the request. If the website has a problem, it’s almost impossible to notice when you confirm.
Remember this—it’s more useful than memorizing a bunch of jargon. If someone says you have to transfer money first to claim something, it’s almost certainly a scam.
Check against the market: $ETH is quoted at 2057.11 (24h -0.14%).
