What to Do With an Unknown Token on Sei
A cautious workflow for researching an unfamiliar asset before interacting with it.
Why this matters on Sei
Research an unknown token without interacting with it first. Read-only data, contract verification and transaction history are safer starting points than clicking a claim link.
Sei has its own network environment and may expose different application and asset conventions depending on the wallet and ecosystem.
Sei can expose different asset and application conventions depending on the wallet and ecosystem you use, so confirm which environment a balance belongs to before acting on it.
Sei: what to pay attention to
- Security: Confirm network, destination and transaction details before signing.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the network-specific asset representation.
- Costs: Compare the complete network and route costs before moving small balances.
A Sei checklist for this topic
- Read what a Sei transaction or signature request actually authorizes before approving it.
- Treat unexpected tokens or links that appear in a Sei wallet as untrusted until verified.
- Review and revoke permissions you no longer use on Sei, especially unlimited approvals.
- Check the domain you are on before connecting a wallet for any Sei action.
