# Checks before you sign

> What Raven checks, and shows you, before any key signs.

## On every move

### A full review

*Every number*

Every amount, every wallet and every fee, shown before anything signs.

### A test run

*Run, not sent*

Each transaction is run against the chain without being sent. If it would fail, you see why first.

### Swaps checked

*No more than it says*

A swap’s route and test run must show it takes no more than the quote, and that your coin lands.

## On sends

| Check | What it catches |
|---|---|
| First-time address | A new address, so a typo or a swapped address stands out |
| Lookalike address | An address that starts and ends like one of yours, sent from a scammer’s dust |
| Scam coin names | A coin posing as SOL, USDC, USDT or JupSOL |
| Daily limit | More than you allowed this wallet to send outside Raven in a day |
| Frozen wallet | Nothing moves out of a frozen wallet |

## On private moves

Before paying Husher, Raven checks the order says exactly what was asked: the kind of order, the amount, the wallet it lands in, a deposit address that is not one of yours, a cut within Husher’s usual range, and the exchange you picked. Raven for Chrome reads each order again from Husher itself, so Raven’s server cannot swap the address to pay.

## On sites (Raven for Chrome)

| Check | What it does |
|---|---|
| The safety list | Refuses a site or program known for scams, before anything runs and again when you say yes |
| Lookalike sites | Warns about a site dressed up as a real one |
| Who a program is | Names well-known programs; for others, reads their age and whether they can still be changed |
| New programs | A program under 7 days old that would move coins out asks you to type the wallet’s name |
| The test run | Shows what leaves and arrives for your wallet, including from inside other programs |
| Drain tricks | Says plainly when your wallet would be handed to a program, or a coin account given away |
| Fake messages | Refuses a “message” that is really a transaction |
| Sign-in messages | Refuses one written for a different site than the one asking |

## Under the hood

- **On your device**: The safety list (Phantom’s public list, read twice a day, plus Raven’s own flags) is checked on your device, so what you browse is never sent anywhere.
- **A second witness**: Before signing for a site, Raven reads the chain again from Solana’s public network, so its own server is never the only witness.
- **What a test run is**: A simulation: Solana runs the transaction against the current chain and reports every balance it would change, without doing it.
