Key points to understand
- Check the official documentation for the specific network or service.

- Review fees, custody, security assumptions and recovery options before using a service.
- Do not share private keys, passwords or recovery phrases.
How to research it
Start with primary sources such as official documentation, published technical specifications and clearly identified project repositories. Compare important claims with independent sources and note when information may be outdated.
Common mistakes
