Core principles

Use a repeatable pre-send checklist: asset, network, recipient, amount, gas and any memo or tag requirements. Confirm each item before signing. To understand Transaction Checks, place the concept inside a real on-chain workflow: where the information comes from, what the user confirms, how the network records the result, and which outcomes cannot normally be reversed by a wallet provider. This makes inconsistencies easier to spot across different apps and networks.

Common risk scenarios

For a new address or unfamiliar route, a small test transfer can validate the path before moving a larger amount. In practice, start with the intended outcome and then verify the relevant fields. If an address, network, contract or permission connected to Transaction Checks cannot be explained, stop rather than accepting the default button. Public blockchain data can often be used as a second source of verification.

A practical way to check

Separate what you can verify publicly from what must remain secret. Network names, public addresses, transaction hashes and contract addresses can be checked against public blockchain data. Seed phrases and private keys should never be disclosed for this purpose.

How to identify and respond

Save the transaction hash and use the correct network explorer to inspect the actual on-chain status rather than relying on screenshots or verbal claims. Security is not a single “perfect protection” switch. It comes from repeatable habits: trusted entry points, independent checks, least-necessary permissions, offline protection of secret credentials, and a willingness to reject abnormal requests.

Security reminder
imtoken staff will not ask for your seed phrase or private key. Review the address, network and request before any transfer, signature or approval.

Everyday checklist

Confirmed blockchain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet provider. Urgent “send now to unlock funds” messages should trigger independent verification. After an action, verify that the result matches the intention. Save non-secret references such as the transaction hash, network and public address for troubleshooting, while keeping seed phrases, private keys and verification codes private.

Before you continueIf a request is unclear, stop and verify it independently. Blockchain transactions and contract permissions can carry irreversible consequences.
