Wallet & Assets

What to prepare before you start

When working with Multi-chain assets, it helps to understand how it connects with Network selection and Address checks.

A practical Wallet & Assets workflow can be divided into preparation, review, execution and verification. Prepare by checking your device and network environment. Review the relevant Multi-chain assets, Network selection, Address checks, Transaction history and Security practices. Execute only the request you currently understand, then verify the outcome through transaction history or public on-chain data. Repeating these stages helps prevent familiarity with an interface from turning into automatic approval of important actions.

Treat every transfer, signature and approval as a separate decision. A DApp that was safe to use previously does not make every future request automatically trustworthy. Reviewing Multi-chain assets, Network selection and Address checks one by one helps you confirm that the address, network, amount, approval target or signed content matches what you actually intend to do. If a request is not understandable, declining it is safer than approving it simply to complete a flow.

In practice, Multi-chain assets rarely exists in isolation. It may affect the outcome together with Network selection, or behave differently because the state of Address checks has changed. Compare interface information with public on-chain data where possible and keep the purpose of the current action clear. If a request involves a signature, approval or asset transfer, approve only what you can explain; otherwise exit and verify the source again.

Risk note

Important: seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control, and official personnel will not ask for them. Verify the address, network and amount before sending. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet provider. Third-party DApps and smart contracts may be risky, so review approval targets and permission scope and consider revoking permissions you no longer need.

imtoken will not ask you to enter a seed phrase, private key, recovery phrase or verification code into a web page. If a Wallet & Assets flow suddenly asks for recovery material, remote-control access or sensitive screenshots, stop and verify the source from a known entry point. Recovery materials are controlled by the user, and anyone who gains access to them may gain control of the associated wallet.
