quick question: how come etherscan connect wallet never prompts you to sign a message? is this secure?
Ethereum
Lot of dapps use connect and don't need sign in (siwe), depends on what you're doing I guess
Ethereum
I think it sends the message if you have no wallet connected (asking you to confirm in the wallet, after accept the no-warranties message, but it do not send the signing message if you previously connected your wallet. Then, it just connects.
Ethereum
Why would you have to sign a message? The only reason sites do that is so that they can track you.
Ethereum
I don't see why you'd need to sign a message for Etherscan
Ethereum
any action you'd take through etherscan is either an onchain tx, or just reading public chain data. so anything that needs the auth happens in a tx.
Ethereum
it doesn't care if you're faking it. if you don't actually have the private key, you won't be able to sign a tx anyway
