When reviewing The role of a mobile wallet, separate local wallet, device permissions, and screen lock. They may appear in the same workflow, but they represent different layers of the action. On this Using the imtoken App page, the goal is to build a verifiable mental model rather than depend on a single interface cue. Before approving anything, identify the network, the object being changed, and whether the request matches the task you intended to perform.
A useful routine is to review items in a fixed order: confirm device permissions, verify screen lock, inspect network switching, and keep asset review for later reference. If a page unexpectedly asks for local wallet, stop and verify the source instead of continuing simply because the workflow looks familiar.
From a security perspective, The role of a mobile wallet should be considered together with screen lock, network switching, and asset review. A legitimate review flow does not require you to reveal a seed phrase, private key, or verification code. Requests involving local wallet or device permissions can change permissions or asset state, so review them individually and reject anything you do not understand.
First use and backup
In practice, wallet creation often tells you whether you are in the right context, wallet import affects the resulting state, and seed phrase helps with independent verification afterward. Do not rely only on a success message in the interface. Where on-chain state is involved, compare it with offline backup and recovery verification so you can distinguish presentation from the actual network result.
First use and backup also has failure modes. Congestion, incorrect parameters, insufficient balances, contract conditions, or third-party service changes can produce unexpected results. Start with the objective state of wallet import, seed phrase, and offline backup before retrying. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can add fees or duplicate actions.

Viewing and managing assets
A useful routine is to review items in a fixed order: confirm balance, verify token, inspect network, and keep transaction history for later reference. If a page unexpectedly asks for contract address, stop and verify the source instead of continuing simply because the workflow looks familiar.
From a security perspective, Viewing and managing assets should be considered together with token, network, and transaction history. A legitimate review flow does not require you to reveal a seed phrase, private key, or verification code. Requests involving contract address or balance can change permissions or asset state, so review them individually and reject anything you do not understand.
In practice, network often tells you whether you are in the right context, transaction history affects the resulting state, and contract address helps with independent verification afterward. Do not rely only on a success message in the interface. Where on-chain state is involved, compare it with balance and token so you can distinguish presentation from the actual network result.
Sending and receiving
Sending and receiving also has failure modes. Congestion, incorrect parameters, insufficient balances, contract conditions, or third-party service changes can produce unexpected results. Start with the objective state of address, QR codes, and network before retrying. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can add fees or duplicate actions.
When reviewing Sending and receiving, separate QR codes, network, and gas. They may appear in the same workflow, but they represent different layers of the action. On this Using the imtoken App page, the goal is to build a verifiable mental model rather than depend on a single interface cue. Before approving anything, identify the network, the object being changed, and whether the request matches the task you intended to perform.
A useful routine is to review items in a fixed order: confirm network, verify gas, inspect transaction hash, and keep address for later reference. If a page unexpectedly asks for QR codes, stop and verify the source instead of continuing simply because the workflow looks familiar.
Checks before connecting to a DApp
From a security perspective, Checks before connecting to a DApp should be considered together with domain name, connection request, and signing. A legitimate review flow does not require you to reveal a seed phrase, private key, or verification code. Requests involving allowance amount or disconnecting can change permissions or asset state, so review them individually and reject anything you do not understand.
In practice, connection request often tells you whether you are in the right context, signing affects the resulting state, and allowance amount helps with independent verification afterward. Do not rely only on a success message in the interface. Where on-chain state is involved, compare it with disconnecting and domain name so you can distinguish presentation from the actual network result.
Checks before connecting to a DApp also has failure modes. Congestion, incorrect parameters, insufficient balances, contract conditions, or third-party service changes can produce unexpected results. Start with the objective state of signing, allowance amount, and disconnecting before retrying. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can add fees or duplicate actions.
