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 and DApps: From Connection to Approval

Safe Web3 use is not defined by a successful connection. Understand the separate consequences of domains, account requests, message signatures, transaction signatures, token approvals and smart contracts.

Verify the source before visiting a DApp

Check domain spelling, navigation source and page purpose rather than entering high-permission flows from unfamiliar direct messages, fake airdrops or suspicious ads. 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 source before visiting a dapp 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 source before visiting a dapp is to divide an action into preparation, submission, network confirmation and follow-up review. Check domain spelling, navigation source and page purpose rather than entering high-permission flows from unfamiliar direct messages, fake airdrops or suspicious ads. 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 source before visiting a dapp
  • 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 source before visiting a dapp, distinguishing a local display issue from a transaction already recorded on-chain is an important first step.

A connection only establishes a session

Wallet connection generally creates an interaction session between an account and DApp; it does not hand over the private key and does not make every later request trustworthy. 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.

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.

Read signatures and transactions separately

A message signature can support login or proof, while a transaction signature can initiate an on-chain action; both require review of content, network, requester and intended result. 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.

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.

Approvals and disconnection

Token approvals can persist on-chain, and disconnecting the DApp interface may not revoke them, so unused permissions need a separate review.
