Blind signing

Blind signing means approving a cryptographic signature without being able to clearly verify the human-readable meaning and consequences of the data being signed.

Published and reviewed: 2 October 2026.

Definition: Blind signing means approving a cryptographic signature without being able to clearly verify the human-readable meaning and consequences of the data being signed.

Blind signing increases risk because a malicious dApp can request permissions or actions that are not obvious from a generic signature prompt.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval users connecting to dApps should prefer interactions where destination, network, value and permission details are clear before confirmation.

Important: If you cannot understand what a signature authorizes, cancel it and verify the request through a trusted source.
