Using the imtoken App

Understand the boundary of mobile wallet

Using the imtoken App is easier to use correctly when mobile wallet is treated as a verifiable part of an on-chain workflow rather than a label in the interface. Build a clear mobile workflow from creating or importing a wallet to reviewing assets, switching networks, sending transactions and connecting to DApps. The key distinction is between what a wallet displays for convenience and what the target blockchain records as state. A balance, network name, contract reference or transaction status should therefore be checked in the context of the network where the action actually occurs.

Looking at mobile wallet together with wallet import prevents many avoidable mistakes. Similar address formats can appear on different networks, familiar token names can refer to different contracts, and a request can look routine while asking for broader permissions than expected. Before acting on network management, confirm the source of the request, the selected network, the destination or contract and the exact action being authorized.

A robust routine keeps enough information to review the action later. Save a transaction hash when relevant, use an appropriate block explorer to check on-chain status, read signature or approval details before confirming and stop when a request cannot be explained. Familiar names, icons or balances are not substitutes for verification, and confirmed on-chain actions are generally not reversible by a wallet on its own.

• Confirm that you are evaluating mobile wallet, not a similar-looking concept.
• Tie wallet import to the intended network, address or contract.
• Keep at least one verifiable reference before proceeding with network management.

How wallet import changes the workflow

How asset review relates to DApp use
