Solution blueprint
Make every change in authority understandable.
Separate observation, connection, approval, signing, and recovery responsibilities.
The question this blueprint answers
What can the application read, what can it ask a user to authorize, and what evidence proves the requested action reached its next stage? Keep those questions separate. A wallet connection is not the same thing as a spending approval, and a closed signing dialog is not evidence that an asset movement completed.
A reference workflow
1. Observe with minimal permissions
For a read-only view, use only the account scope and observations it actually needs. Do not introduce signing credentials to power a balance display. Label the network, asset identity, observation time, and coverage rather than relying on a familiar symbol.
2. Prepare a human-readable review
Describe the requested operation before triggering a wallet prompt. Show the intended destination, asset, amount, relevant fees, and requested authority. Make cancellation easy to find. An undecodable action should remain visibly unresolved instead of receiving a reassuring summary.
3. Separate approval, signing, and submission
Give each stage a clear evidence requirement. Keep a stable application request identifier so an interrupted action can be reconciled before another attempt is created. A user declining a prompt is an ordinary outcome, not an invitation to keep requesting signatures automatically.
4. Design recovery and escalation
Identify who can investigate an uncertain state, who can change policy, and who controls the signer. Recovery from a lost device, an unavailable service, and an absent approver are different scenarios. Practice each with a safe test setup rather than improvising with production keys.
A useful first release
A read-only asset view plus a documented review flow can expose confusing terminology before any irreversible action is available. Test whether someone unfamiliar with the implementation can explain what the screen is asking them to do and what remains unknown.
Do not collect recovery phrases, private keys, or authentication tokens in support messages. Use public references and safe application request identifiers when appropriate. This website itself never connects to a wallet or asks for a signature.
Put the blueprint to work
The wallet signing UX guide walks through prompt language and states. The wallet UX checklist turns that discussion into review steps. The custody responsibility guide expands the scope to authorization, policy changes, recovery, and operational ownership.
This is a reference design for product discussion, not a recommendation of a wallet or custodian and not a guarantee of transaction safety. Production authority and recovery need review appropriate to the actual system.
