Have the correct network information and destination ready. For real assets, understand each step first and avoid using shared or public devices.
Understand the wallet model before anything else
A wallet is an interface to a network; the final state should still be verified against the network when the action matters. In the context of “Understand the wallet model before anything else,” pay particular attention to wallet, seed phrase, and address. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.
Within Getting Started, interface messages are only one source of information. Network congestion, RPC behavior, smart-contract state and token-contract differences can all affect what you see. Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. For unfamiliar contracts or larger values, testing a smaller, clearly understood action first can reduce operational mistakes.
Practical checks
- Confirm that understand the wallet model before anything else matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Complete an offline backup after creation
Blockchain actions are verifiable but can also be irreversible, so each material step deserves an independent check. In the context of “Complete an offline backup after creation,” pay particular attention to seed phrase, address, and network. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. For a third-party DApp or smart contract, the wallet can display a request but cannot guarantee the contract logic or the economic result.
Practical checks
- Confirm that complete an offline backup after creation matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Learn addresses and networks
For day-to-day use, a repeatable verification sequence is often more valuable than memorizing terminology. In the context of “Learn addresses and networks,” pay particular attention to address, network, and sending. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Start with small receive and send actions
For day-to-day use, a repeatable verification sequence is often more valuable than memorizing terminology. In the context of “Start with small receive and send actions,” pay particular attention to network, sending, and DApp. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. If information conflicts, verify the network, address, contract and transaction hash before deciding what to do next.
Practical checks
- Confirm that start with small receive and send actions matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Move on to DApps and approvals later
The same interface action can have different consequences across networks and contracts, so context always matters. In the context of “Move on to DApps and approvals later,” pay particular attention to sending, DApp, and wallet. Start by identifying the network or request type, then compare what the wallet shows with what you actually intend to do. For transactions, verify the asset, amount, gas implications, destination and the transaction hash that is produced. This does not add ceremony for its own sake; it moves the most important checks to the point before an irreversible action.

Keep something independently verifiable in view, such as the correct network name, destination address, contract address or transaction hash, and do not sign or approve a request that you cannot explain in plain language. Afterward, use a transaction hash, explorer or wallet history to verify the final state instead of relying only on a success message.
Practical checks
- Confirm that move on to dapps and approvals later matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Ongoing verification matters more than one-time confidence
When using features related to Getting Started, keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control. imtoken personnel should never ask for those secrets or verification codes. Verify the address, network and amount before a transfer, and review the requesting party and permission scope before signing or approving. On-chain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet alone, and third-party DApps or contracts can introduce separate risks.
