Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about wallet control, networks, transactions, DApps, security and PoS without asking for recovery secrets.
Asset state is recorded on the relevant blockchain. A wallet manages keys, derives addresses, displays on-chain information and helps prepare transactions.
A seed phrase commonly restores a set of keys, while a private key directly controls a specific account. Both are highly sensitive and should remain under the user’s control.
Anyone who obtains a seed phrase may be able to restore and control its accounts. imtoken will never ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code.
At minimum, verify the destination address, target network, asset, amount and fee. For a large transfer, a small test transaction can reduce avoidable mistakes.
Gas measures the computational resources required by a network to process transactions or contract execution. The resulting fee depends on network conditions and transaction complexity.
A transaction hash is an identifier that lets you locate a transaction on the appropriate block explorer and inspect its status, block and confirmations.
A connection usually establishes an account context, but later signatures, transactions or approvals can introduce permissions and asset risk. Review every request separately.
No. A message signature may not itself create an on-chain transaction, but it can still be used for authentication or permission logic. A transaction signature normally authorizes a transaction that changes on-chain state.
A token approval allows a specified contract or address to spend a token up to an allowed amount. Check the spender and scope, and consider revoking approvals that are no longer needed.
It increases the maximum amount an approved spender could use, so the spender, necessity and duration deserve additional scrutiny.
Many EVM-compatible networks use similar address formats, but they are separate networks. The same string does not mean assets exist in the same network context.
Layer 2 systems extend execution while relying on a mainnet or base layer for some part of settlement or security. Bridging, confirmation and exit behavior differ by system.
Congestion, fee settings, propagation or replacement behavior may be involved. Start by checking the transaction hash on the relevant network.
A confirmed on-chain transfer usually cannot be reversed unilaterally by a wallet, which is why the address, network and amount should be checked before sending.
No. Reward rules, validator performance, network conditions and service terms can change, and digital asset prices can fluctuate.
Yes. PoS networks can penalize validators for downtime, incorrect behavior or protocol violations, depending on network rules.
Not necessarily. Exits and withdrawals may involve protocol queues, waiting periods or third-party service processing conditions.
Stop before proceeding, do not enter or send recovery information, and review the domain, connected accounts and existing approvals from a trusted environment.
