Security
Wallet security depends on key custody, device hygiene, network awareness, signature review and ongoing approval management.
Core principles
Core principles is a practical part of understanding Security. Wallet security depends on key custody, device hygiene, network awareness, signature review and ongoing approval management. Before acting, confirm that the active account, target network and intended outcome all match, then review the parameters shown in the request.
The risky part of Core principles within Security is often the surrounding context rather than the button itself: which network is active, which site initiated the request, what permission is being granted, and whether the amount and fee make sense. Turning those checks into a routine is more reliable than reacting to prompts one by one.
For Core principles, a repeatable sequence is useful: verify the source and network, check the address or contract, review the amount, permission or fee, and keep a transaction hash when one is created. This does not remove every risk, but it makes decisions easier to explain and problems easier to trace.
Practical checks
- Verify the network and account before working with core principles
- Double-check important addresses, contracts, amounts or permissions
- Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone
High-risk scenarios
High-risk scenarios is a practical part of understanding Security. Wallet security depends on key custody, device hygiene, network awareness, signature review and ongoing approval management. Before acting, confirm that the active account, target network and intended outcome all match, then review the parameters shown in the request.
imtoken guidance focuses on information you can verify. When something is unclear, do not rely on a single line in a pop-up. Check the address, network, contract, transaction history and explorer data where relevant, then decide whether the action matches your intent.
For High-risk scenarios, a repeatable sequence is useful: verify the source and network, check the address or contract, review the amount, permission or fee, and keep a transaction hash when one is created. This does not remove every risk, but it makes decisions easier to explain and problems easier to trace.
Practical checks
- Verify the network and account before working with high-risk scenarios
- Double-check important addresses, contracts, amounts or permissions
- Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone
Action checklist
Action checklist is a practical part of understanding Security. Wallet security depends on key custody, device hygiene, network awareness, signature review and ongoing approval management. Before acting, confirm that the active account, target network and intended outcome all match, then review the parameters shown in the request.
Action checklist within Security is not an isolated feature. In practice it is shaped by network state, account permissions, transaction parameters and user decisions. Understanding those relationships first makes similar-looking screens and labels much less confusing.
For Action checklist, a repeatable sequence is useful: verify the source and network, check the address or contract, review the amount, permission or fee, and keep a transaction hash when one is created. This does not remove every risk, but it makes decisions easier to explain and problems easier to trace.
Practical checks
- Verify the network and account before working with action checklist
- Double-check important addresses, contracts, amounts or permissions
- Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone
Ongoing maintenance
Ongoing maintenance is a practical part of understanding Security. Wallet security depends on key custody, device hygiene, network awareness, signature review and ongoing approval management. Before acting, confirm that the active account, target network and intended outcome all match, then review the parameters shown in the request.
A useful way to think about Ongoing maintenance within Security is to separate what the interface displays from what the blockchain records. The wallet organizes information and submits requests, while the target network records the resulting state. Addresses, networks, contracts and transaction hashes are therefore important verification points.
For Ongoing maintenance, a repeatable sequence is useful: verify the source and network, check the address or contract, review the amount, permission or fee, and keep a transaction hash when one is created. This does not remove every risk, but it makes decisions easier to explain and problems easier to trace.
Practical checks
- Verify the network and account before working with ongoing maintenance
- Double-check important addresses, contracts, amounts or permissions
- Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone
Security statement
Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control. Official personnel will not ask for them or for verification codes; on-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone; third-party DApps and smart contracts may carry risk.
