Capabilities and boundaries
A useful way to understand this topic is to separate the wallet interface from the rules enforced by the blockchain. The wallet helps users inspect and submit actions, while balances, ordering, and contract execution are recorded by the selected network. Understand the core relationship between multi-chain assets, addresses, networks, and transaction history before moving into wallet creation, receiving, sending, and verification. For “Wallet & Assets”, a practical first pass is to identify multi-chain assets, addresses, and network selection, then use asset display, transaction history, and transaction hashes to understand what the action can change and where its result should appear.
From a user perspective, multi-chain assets answers what is being handled, addresses identifies the participating account or object, and network selection determines which rule set applies. When these do not line up, a screen may still look normal while the user faces missing asset displays, insufficient fees, an incorrect request target, or difficulty locating the relevant on-chain record.
For long-term use, build multi-chain assets, network selection, and transaction history into a routine review, and periodically revisit persistent state related to transaction hashes. The purpose of this knowledge is not to add friction; it is to make important confirmation points understandable before an action becomes difficult to reverse.
Third-party DApps, smart contracts, and network services can introduce their own risks. imtoken can present requests and on-chain information, but it cannot guarantee third-party code or unilaterally reverse a transaction that has already been confirmed on a blockchain. Important actions related to Wallet & Assets should therefore be based on a clear understanding of the request.
From accounts to networks
Most practical mistakes do not come from the location of a button. They come from mixing up addresses, networks, assets, and permissions. A deliberate review process is more dependable than memorizing one fixed click path. Understand the core relationship between multi-chain assets, addresses, networks, and transaction history before moving into wallet creation, receiving, sending, and verification.

When these do not line up, a screen may still look normal while the user faces missing asset displays, insufficient fees, an incorrect request target, or difficulty locating the relevant on-chain record.
In a real workflow, review addresses first, then verify network selection and asset display, and finally inspect the status associated with transaction history. Similar names do not prove that networks, assets, or contracts are interchangeable, and a previously successful action does not make a new permission request automatically safe.
Third-party DApps, smart contracts, and network services can introduce their own risks. imtoken can present requests and on-chain information, but it cannot guarantee third-party code or unilaterally reverse a transaction that has already been confirmed on a blockchain.

Common usage scenarios
This topic connects directly to everyday wallet activity. Any action involving assets, signatures, or permissions should begin with the request source, continue with the network and target, and end with an understanding of whether the effect can be reversed. Understand the core relationship between multi-chain assets, addresses, networks, and transaction history before moving into wallet creation, receiving, sending, and verification.

When these do not line up, a screen may still look normal while the user faces missing asset displays, insufficient fees, an incorrect request target, or difficulty locating the relevant on-chain record.
A useful request review asks a sequence of questions: Where did it originate? Which multi-chain assets is involved? Which network selection applies? Does it change asset display? Where should transaction history be visible afterward? If any answer is unclear, stop before confirming and re-check the context.
Third-party DApps, smart contracts, and network services can introduce their own risks. imtoken can present requests and on-chain information, but it cannot guarantee third-party code or unilaterally reverse a transaction that has already been confirmed on a blockchain. Important actions related to Wallet & Assets should therefore be based on a clear understanding of the request.
- Verify multi-chain assets
- Confirm network selection
- Locate transaction history
- Never submit a seed phrase, private key, or verification code
Security principles
Blockchain activity can be publicly verifiable without being casually reversible. Pre-action review, understanding the request, and post-action transaction checks should therefore be treated as one continuous habit. Understand the core relationship between multi-chain assets, addresses, networks, and transaction history before moving into wallet creation, receiving, sending, and verification. For “Wallet & Assets”, a practical first pass is to identify multi-chain assets, addresses, and network selection, then use asset display, transaction history, and transaction hashes to understand what the action can change and where its result should appear.

When these do not line up, a screen may still look normal while the user faces missing asset displays, insufficient fees, an incorrect request target, or difficulty locating the relevant on-chain record.
Common mistakes include ignoring network selection, trusting a page name without checking addresses, treating transaction history as proof of immediate finality, or continuing with transaction hashes on an unfamiliar site. A request being technically clickable does not mean it should be approved; each request needs its own review.

If something looks wrong, preserve information that is safe to share publicly, such as the network name, public address, and transaction history, then use wallet history or an appropriate block explorer to check on-chain state. Do not provide a seed phrase, private key, recovery phrase, or verification code to anyone in order to get help.
