Addresses & accounts
Addresses & accounts is a distinct part of understanding Wallet & Assets. A digital wallet is not simply a folder that stores tokens. It helps users control blockchain accounts, sign transactions and inspect state across networks. In imtoken, the useful mental model links addresses, networks, asset views and transaction records. The wallet interface helps users control keys associated with addresses and prepare onchain transactions. Balances are derived from blockchain state rather than a private balance stored by the wallet. Switching networks can therefore change the assets and history shown for the same address.
In practice, do not rely on interface color, icons or labels alone. Cross-check verifiable details such as the active network, public address, transaction hash, contract address and approval target. Before any action that changes onchain state, read the request and confirm the amount, network and destination.
If something looks wrong, stop signing or resubmitting transactions until the situation is understood. Keep non-sensitive details such as the transaction hash, network name and public address for troubleshooting, but never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Onchain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet provider, so preventive checks matter more than recovery promises.

- Confirm the active network before sending or approving.
- Compare the full destination or contract details.
- Keep recovery material offline and private.

Security and risk reminder
Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible by a wallet provider. Third-party DApps and smart contracts can contain technical or business risks. Review every signature and approval independently, and consider revoking permissions you no longer use.
