DeFi Wallet Connection Does Not Authorize Lending Deposits, Positions Recorded Onchain

Connecting a wallet to a DeFi app does not authorize a deposit, and a lending position is recorded onchain separately from the website displaying it. Withdrawals remain subject to protocol rules and the availability of assets in the pool. The distinction matters because the interface a user sees is not the ledger that holds the position.

The reminder lands on a persistent gap in how DeFi is understood: the front end is a window, not the record. That distinction affects anyone using lending protocols, since a displayed balance can diverge from what the pool actually holds and can service. The withdrawal caveat is the sharper point — protocol rules and pool liquidity, not interface states, determine what is retrievable. Whether users treat the onchain ledger rather than the website as the source of truth is the open question.
