# Wallet connection & transaction safety

Understand wallet connection, signatures, transaction intent, network validation, and safe recovery.

Wallet connection and transaction authorization are separate security boundaries.

## Connection

When you choose **Connect Wallet**, SONIC requests access to your public wallet identity so the application can associate an address with your session. Connecting does **not** give SONIC custody of your funds or permission to move assets.

## Signing

A wallet may later ask you to sign a message or transaction. Review every prompt before approving it. Check:

* the active network is **Solana** when using Solana features;
* the wallet address/account is the one you intend to use;
* the asset or token mint is correct;
* the amount and decimals are correct;
* the recipient/program is expected;
* fees and any token-account creation are understandable;
* the action matches what you initiated in SONIC.

## Never share secrets

Never send a recovery/seed phrase, private key, wallet password, or device unlock code to SONIC support or to anyone claiming to represent SONIC. Keep recovery material offline and use official wallet download/support URLs.

## Official wallet resources

* [Phantom — get started](https://phantom.com/get-started)
* [Phantom Help Center](https://help.phantom.com/)
* [Solflare — official site](https://www.solflare.com/)
* [Solflare getting started](https://help.solflare.com/en/collections/3231296-getting-started)
* [Backpack — official wallet](https://backpack.app/)
* [Backpack wallet documentation](https://docs.backpack.app/)
* [Solana wallet directory](https://solana.com/wallets)

## If a connection looks suspicious

Reject the prompt, close the page, verify the site URL, disconnect the application from your wallet if needed, and reconnect only from the official SONIC application surface.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sonic-ai-works.gitbook.io/sonic-networks-docs/help-center/wallet-connection-and-transaction-safety.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
