Seed phrases and private keys remain under user control. Review signing, approval and transaction requests independently.
Message signatures versus transaction signatures
The same interface action can have different consequences across networks and contracts, so context always matters. In the context of “Message signatures versus transaction signatures,” pay particular attention to message signature, transaction signature, and signature content. 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 Signature Requests, 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. 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 message signatures versus transaction signatures matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Read what is visible before signing
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 “Read what is visible before signing,” pay particular attention to transaction signature, signature content, and domain. 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. Reviewing old connections and approvals can also reduce the amount of standing permission left behind over time.
Practical checks
- Confirm that read what is visible before signing matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
Be cautious with vague or high-impact requests
When a request is unfamiliar, understanding it before proceeding is more important than completing it quickly. In the context of “Be cautious with vague or high-impact requests,” pay particular attention to signature content, domain, and contract. 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. A page that asks for a seed phrase, private key or verification code should not be trusted; those secrets should never be sent to anyone.
Practical checks
- Confirm that be cautious with vague or high-impact requests matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
How to verify the result after signing
The same interface action can have different consequences across networks and contracts, so context always matters. In the context of “How to verify the result after signing,” pay particular attention to domain, contract, and risk. 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 unfamiliar contracts or larger values, testing a smaller, clearly understood action first can reduce operational mistakes.
Practical checks
- Confirm that how to verify the result after signing matches the intended network and action
- Keep a verifiable reference and review the outcome after completion
What to do after a suspicious signature
Blockchain actions are verifiable but can also be irreversible, so each material step deserves an independent check. In the context of “What to do after a suspicious signature,” pay particular attention to contract, risk, and message signature. 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.

Ongoing verification matters more than one-time confidence
When using features related to Signature Requests, 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.
