Crypto Wallet Checkup: A 10-Minute Routine
A simple recurring routine for checking balances, permissions and unfamiliar wallet activity.
A 10-minute wallet checkup: scan balances on every network, flag unknown tokens, review approvals, and scan recent transactions for anything you do not recognise.
A Quick Monthly Review
Check balances, recent activity, token approvals and unfamiliar assets. Use read-only tools where possible and never disclose private keys or seed phrases.
Ten minutes is enough if you work in a fixed order: balances, then unfamiliar tokens, then approvals, then a glance at recent transactions.
A Simple 4-Step Process
- Check your public address on every network. Use a read-only scan. You only need the public address, never a seed phrase or private key.
- Verify before you trust. Compare each unfamiliar token contract with an independent source. A ticker or logo proves nothing.
- Work out the real cost. Add network gas, route fees and price impact, then compare the total with the balance value.
- Act only where it pays off. Move balances that stay clearly positive after costs. Hide or ignore the rest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to start?
Run a read-only multi-chain scan of your public address and note anything unexpected.
What should worry me during a checkup?
Approvals you do not recognise, transactions you did not make and tokens that prompt you to sign.
Do I need to connect my wallet?
Not for a scan. Connect only when you decide to execute a transaction.
