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.

Step-by-step Guide

DApp Connections

Understand domain checks, account requests, network switches and disconnection when using DApps.

Before you continue

imtoken will never ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code. Review the network, destination and request before signing.

Before you begin

Prepare the context before following the steps

  • Use a trusted device and confirm the intended network.
  • Keep seed phrases, private keys and verification codes private.
  • Have the destination, contract or DApp source ready for independent verification.

    Verify the domain and entry point

    Verify the domain and entry point — checks and common mistakes

    A useful way to approach this topic is to separate what the interface displays from what the blockchain actually records. DApp Connections is best understood through the specific decisions a user makes, not just through interface labels. Understand domain checks, account requests, network switches and disconnection when using DApps.

    For practical review, split the request into five layers: network, address or contract, asset or permission, network fee, and resulting transaction state. The network tells you where execution occurs; the address or contract identifies the target; the asset or permission defines the scope; gas reflects network execution cost; and the transaction hash provides a durable reference for verification. If an application shows only vague language such as “continue”, “verify” or “claim”, use the wallet confirmation screen to inspect what is actually being requested.

    Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control. imtoken personnel will not request a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Before transferring, signing or approving, check the network, destination or contract and the exact action. Confirmed blockchain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet provider, and third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce independent risks.

    That habit makes it easier to reason from verifiable on-chain evidence even when an interface changes.

    What a connection request exposes

    What a connection request exposes — checks and common mistakes

    Most mistakes in this area come from missing context rather than from a single button press. A practical check for this topic is: verify the domain and entry point; then consider what a connection request exposes before moving to the next action.

    If a critical field cannot be verified, stopping and checking independently is safer than completing the action under time pressure.

    Review network switching

    Review network switching — checks and common mistakes

    Start with the user decision: identify the network, counterparty or contract, requested permission and expected result before confirming. On-chain activity is contextual. Network, address, contract, amount, permissions and transaction status can each change the meaning of what the wallet is showing.

    For practical review, split the request into five layers: network, address or contract, asset or permission, network fee, and resulting transaction state. The network tells you where execution occurs; the address or contract identifies the target; the asset or permission defines the scope; gas reflects network execution cost; and the transaction hash provides a durable reference for verification.

    There is no benefit in rushing an unfamiliar signing request; understanding the request should come before confirmation.

    Know when to disconnect

    Know when to disconnect — checks and common mistakes

    A repeatable verification habit is more durable than memorizing one interface because networks and applications can change over time. Connecting a wallet is not permission to approve every subsequent request. Check the requesting domain, network, contract or spender, requested allowance and the exact action before signing.

    For practical review, split the request into five layers: network, address or contract, asset or permission, network fee, and resulting transaction state. The network tells you where execution occurs; the address or contract identifies the target; the asset or permission defines the scope; gas reflects network execution cost; and the transaction hash provides a durable reference for verification.

Before transferring, signing or approving, check the network, destination or contract and the exact action. Confirmed blockchain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet provider, and third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce independent risks.

    The goal is to be able to explain which network is involved, who or what the request targets, what permission is being granted and what on-chain outcome may follow.

Completion checklist

  • Network matches the intended asset or DApp.
  • Address, contract or spender has been independently checked.
  • Amount, permission scope and gas are understood before signing.
  • Transaction hash is retained when an on-chain transaction is submitted.

Safety reminder

If any critical field is unclear, stop and verify it independently. Confirmed blockchain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet provider.
