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.
imtoken · Knowledge and practical checks

Getting Started

Before using a digital wallet, understand who controls the keys, where assets live and how a transaction reaches confirmation.

Build the core concepts first

Start by separating addresses, private keys, seed phrases, networks and transaction hashes. An address can be shared to receive assets; a seed phrase or private key proves control and must remain secret.

Learn in the order of real tasks

A practical learning path moves from wallet setup and backup to networks, receiving, sending, transaction verification, then DApps, signatures and approvals. Learning in task order connects terminology to real decisions.

A practical verification method

When applying getting started in a real task, confirm the active account and network first, then inspect the permission or transaction fields requested by the interface. Familiar-looking screens are not a reason to skip verification.

Verify outcomes with on-chain data

When a balance is missing or a transfer has not appeared, verify the network, address and transaction hash using public on-chain data instead of relying on one interface message.

Add security checks to each step

Security belongs inside each task: back up offline, verify the network before sending, check the domain before connecting, read a signature request and inspect approval scope before authorizing.

Important reminder

Keep your seed phrase and private key under your own control. imtoken support will not ask for them or for verification codes. Review the address, network, request details and permission scope before transferring, signing or approving. On-chain transactions are usually not reversible by a wallet provider.

Turn vocabulary into practical judgment

Vocabulary matters because it improves judgment. Understanding the EVM, for example, explains why multiple compatible networks can use similar address formats while still requiring separate gas assets, chain IDs and contracts.
