Desktop checklist before you confirm a swap

Every full planning session ends with a checklist. The wording changes with the pair, but the spine stays the same.

Spine of the checklist

1. Confirm the token addresses and chain match the brief
2. Enter the slippage buffer from the brief — not a remembered default
3. Check that the current fee sits inside the marked window
4. Re-read the output amount after the fee estimate updates
5. Confirm only when those four align

Never on the checklist

Seed phrases, screenshots of recovery words, or screen-sharing that exposes them. If someone asks for those during a “planning” call, end the call.

Keep it short

A checklist longer than a screenful gets skipped. We aim for five lines you can read aloud.
