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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about wallets, recovery credentials, networks, gas, DApps, approvals, EVM, Layer 2, Ethereum, PoS and validators.

A digital wallet manages keys used for blockchain signatures and helps you interact with addresses, networks and transaction records.

A seed phrase can restore a set of wallet keys, while a private key directly controls a particular address. Both should remain under your control.

No. Stop any request that asks you to send a seed phrase, private key or verification code and verify the source independently.

The same asset name can exist on multiple chains and address formats can look similar. Sender and recipient need to agree on the intended network.

Gas measures resources used to execute a transaction or contract operation. Cost varies with network rules and current demand.

The transaction hash is the key identifier for checking on-chain status, confirmations, block inclusion and fees on the correct network explorer.

Check the transaction hash and network state first. Do not repeatedly send simply because the wallet interface has not updated yet.

No. Connections, message signatures, transaction signatures and token approvals are distinct requests.

A message signature signs data with a private key and may be used for login or attestations. Verify the domain and content.

An approval lets a specified contract spend a token up to an allowance. Review the spender, amount and persistence before confirming.

Disconnecting usually ends the session, while an approval already written on-chain can remain active until separately changed or revoked.

Many EVM networks use the same address format, but they remain separate chains with distinct chain IDs, gas markets, contracts and state.

Layer 2 processes more activity away from mainnet and settles or proves results back through a specific design. Cross-layer movement often uses bridges.

No. Security depends on credential handling, devices, networks, approval decisions and third-party contracts.

No. Rewards vary, exits can involve waiting, and penalties, contract risk and asset-price volatility can affect outcomes.

A validator participates in proposing or attesting to blocks under protocol rules and needs to operate correctly.

Do not follow unfamiliar claim links or sign requests simply because an item appeared in your wallet. Verify the contract and origin first.

Review the full address, destination network, amount, gas and expected result before confirming.
