Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about wallets, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, DApps, approvals, EVM, Layer 2, Ethereum and validators.

A wallet manages keys and account information. An address is a public on-chain identifier that can receive assets. An address may be shared; a seed phrase or private key should not be.

It is safer not to. Screenshots can sync to cloud storage or be read by other software. Prefer an offline backup that you can protect physically.

You should not rely on any service to restore a private key. Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control; requests to reveal them should be treated as high risk.

Networks maintain separate state and fee systems. The same-looking address can exist on multiple networks while holding entirely different assets and histories.

Gas is the network-fee concept used to pay for computation or transaction inclusion. It is usually paid in the network’s native asset and can change with network demand.

A transaction hash is a traceable identifier that can be used in the matching network’s block explorer to review status, block inclusion, sender, recipient and fees.

Check network conditions, fee settings, nonce and the existing transaction before submitting anything again. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can create confusion or extra cost.

A connection usually establishes a session and shares limited public account context. Signatures, approvals and transactions are separate requests that should be reviewed independently.

No. A message signature may be used for login or a statement, while a transaction signature can change on-chain state. Structured messages can also carry meaningful permissions.

A token approval lets a spender contract use a token up to a specified allowance. Check the spender, token, amount and network, and review old permissions that are no longer needed.

Many EVM-compatible networks use the same 0x address format, but balances, contracts and transaction histories remain separate on each network.

Layer 2 systems use different scaling designs while relying on a main network for settlement or data in various ways. Cross-layer transfers can involve bridges and waiting periods.

Review the full domain and how you reached the site. Be cautious with search ads, unsolicited messages, short links and any page asking for a seed phrase or private key.

Sensitive operations are better performed on trusted devices and networks. Encryption alone does not replace checking the domain, device state and signature details.

No. Rewards can vary, exits can involve waiting, validators can be penalized, smart contracts and third parties can introduce risk, and asset prices can fluctuate.

Validators can face protocol penalties for extended downtime or rule violations. The exact mechanism depends on the network protocol and current conditions.

Security note: Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control. imtoken will not ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Verify the address, network and amount before transferring. On-chain transactions often cannot be unilaterally reversed by a wallet. Third-party DApps and smart contracts carry risk; review the spender and permission scope before approving.
