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.

Getting Started with a Digital Wallet

For first-time wallet users: understand the concepts first, then create, back up, receive, send and review on-chain activity.

Start with five concepts

When reviewing Start with five concepts, separate address, seed phrase, and private key. They may appear in the same workflow, but they represent different layers of the action. On this Getting Started with a Digital Wallet 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 seed phrase, verify private key, inspect network, and keep gas for later reference. If a page unexpectedly asks for address, stop and verify the source instead of continuing simply because the workflow looks familiar.

From a security perspective, Start with five concepts should be considered together with private key, network, and gas. A legitimate review flow does not require you to reveal a seed phrase, private key, or verification code. Requests involving address or seed phrase can change permissions or asset state, so review them individually and reject anything you do not understand.

Create and back up

In practice, wallet creation often tells you whether you are in the right context, offline backup affects the resulting state, and recovery verification 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 设备 and password so you can distinguish presentation from the actual network result.

Create and back up 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 offline backup, recovery verification, and 设备 before retrying. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can add fees or duplicate actions.

Receive assets for the first time

A useful routine is to review items in a fixed order: confirm address, verify network, inspect token, and keep small test transfer for later reference. If a page unexpectedly asks for confirmation, stop and verify the source instead of continuing simply because the workflow looks familiar.

From a security perspective, Receive assets for the first time should be considered together with network, token, and small test transfer. A legitimate review flow does not require you to reveal a seed phrase, private key, or verification code. Requests involving confirmation or address can change permissions or asset state, so review them individually and reject anything you do not understand.

In practice, token often tells you whether you are in the right context, small test transfer affects the resulting state, and confirmation 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 address and network so you can distinguish presentation from the actual network result.

Send assets for the first time

Send assets for the first time 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 收款方, amount, and gas before retrying. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can add fees or duplicate actions.

When reviewing Send assets for the first time, separate amount, gas, and transaction hash. They may appear in the same workflow, but they represent different layers of the action. On this Getting Started with a Digital Wallet 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 gas, verify transaction hash, inspect confirmation, and keep 收款方 for later reference. If a page unexpectedly asks for amount, stop and verify the source instead of continuing simply because the workflow looks familiar.

Connect to a DApp for the first time

From a security perspective, Connect to a DApp for the first time should be considered together with domain name, 连接, and signing. A legitimate review flow does not require you to reveal a seed phrase, private key, or verification code. Requests involving approval or 断开 can change permissions or asset state, so review them individually and reject anything you do not understand.

In practice, 连接 often tells you whether you are in the right context, signing affects the resulting state, and approval 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 断开 and domain name so you can distinguish presentation from the actual network result.

Connect to a DApp for the first time 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, approval, and 断开 before retrying. Repeated submissions without understanding the cause can add fees or duplicate actions.

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.
