# Transaction verification

## Definition

Transaction verification is the user's process of checking destination, network, asset, amount, fees and requested permissions before authorizing a crypto transaction or signature.

## What it means in practice

Because blockchain transactions can be difficult or impossible to reverse, verification before signing is a core operational security habit.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval includes wrong-network protection as an additional safeguard, but it is not a substitute for the user's own verification before signing.

**Important:** For important transfers, verify network and destination independently and consider a small test transaction when appropriate.
