Maintain basic device protection
Use screen locks and reasonable access control, keep the operating system and common software updated, and minimize apps, extensions or profiles from unknown sources. A useful way to understand this is to connect the concept with its operating conditions and the result recorded on-chain. imtoken focuses on making network, transaction and permission details understandable before users confirm an action. The wallet interface can prepare and display an action, but the selected network ultimately records transaction state, so a clickable button is not proof that every parameter is correct.
For practical use, define the intended outcome first and then review the items related to maintain basic device protection one by one. Confirm the network and account context, check the address, asset or requesting contract, and only then review fees, permissions and confirmation details. Separating these checks makes it easier to identify whether an unexpected result comes from the network, transaction parameters, a contract or local display state.
Security also depends on whether sensitive information remains under your control. Use screen locks and reasonable access control, keep the operating system and common software updated, and minimize apps, extensions or profiles from unknown sources. Do not continue with any request for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Stop and re-check the source when you encounter an unfamiliar link, remote-control request, unexpected approval or transaction content that differs from your intended action. Security is a repeatable process, not an absolute guarantee.
- Confirm the network, account or requester related to maintain basic device protection
- Verify the address, network and amount before a transfer; consider a small test when appropriate
- Read signature and approval details instead of treating later requests as automatically trusted
- Keep the transaction hash or other information needed to verify on-chain status
What to do when the result differs from expectations
If the interface, network state or outcome does not match what you expected, avoid repeatedly submitting the same action. Confirm the active network and account, then use the transaction hash, a suitable block explorer or contract information to establish what has already happened. For maintain basic device protection, distinguishing a local display issue from a transaction already recorded on-chain is an important first step.
Be cautious with public Wi-Fi and shared computers
Shared environments can add interception, shoulder-surfing, browser-residue or malware risk and are poor choices for wallet recovery or high-value actions.

Clipboard and screen content can leak too
After copying an address, verify it again rather than trusting the clipboard, and avoid exposing sensitive data or signature details during screen sharing.
