How we show what a wallet signature will do before you sign

Summary

How Dralvia shows what a wallet signature will actually do before you sign it.

Threat model

A signing prompt can hide its real effect behind a token approval or an opaque call. The risk is a person approving a transaction that drains a wallet while believing it does something harmless.

Why it matters

The moment of signing is where wallet loss happens. Showing the real effect before the click is the difference between an informed choice and a trap.

Test setup

Before a signature, the request is simulated and its effect is summarized: what moves, which approvals are granted, and the practical difference to the wallet, from the request itself.

What Dralvia observed

Summarizing the simulated effect in plain terms made risky approvals obvious that a raw signing prompt would have hidden.

What worked

Simulating first and describing the outcome in plain terms surfaced the real intent behind a request rather than its label.

What did not work

Showing raw call data alone did not help a person decide, so the summary leads with the practical effect and keeps the detail underneath.

Product improvements

We simulate a request before signing and show a plain summary of what moves and which approvals are granted, with the underlying detail available.

Defender recommendations

Before you sign, insist on seeing the simulated effect: what leaves the wallet and what approvals you grant. A label is not an intent.

Limitations

Simulation reflects the request as presented; it cannot predict every later action a granted approval enables. It informs a choice, it does not remove risk.
