imtoken will never ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code. Always review the address, network and request details before transferring, signing or approving.

Web3 Guides: Connect, Sign, Approve and Exit Safely

These Web3 guides follow the real interaction sequence from domain verification through connection, account requests, signatures, approvals, transactions and disconnection, with an independent check at every step.

Verify the domain and purpose before visiting

Understand why you are visiting the application, what action you intend to complete and whether the navigation source is trustworthy before opening a wallet connection. 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 verify the domain and purpose before visiting 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.

A helpful learning model for verify the domain and purpose before visiting is to divide an action into preparation, submission, network confirmation and follow-up review. Understand why you are visiting the application, what action you intend to complete and whether the navigation source is trustworthy before opening a wallet connection. Preparation checks whether conditions match, submission checks the exact request, confirmation verifies what the network recorded, and follow-up review covers transaction history and any permissions that remain active.

  • Confirm the network, account or requester related to verify the domain and purpose before visiting
  • 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 verify the domain and purpose before visiting, distinguishing a local display issue from a transaction already recorded on-chain is an important first step.

Review account and network requests after connecting

Provide only expected account access and verify that any requested network switch matches the intended action. 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.

Read each signature and approval

Do not race through consecutive prompts; distinguish message signatures, transaction signatures and token permissions and verify the contract involved. 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.

Handle connections and permissions afterward

Disconnect sessions you no longer need, review transaction history and new approvals, and consider revoking permissions that are no longer useful. 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.
