Recent notices
Before viewing assets, sending a transaction or connecting to a DApp, confirm the active account and network so information from different chains is not accidentally mixed together.
Gas conditions, congestion and confirmation times are not fixed. For a submitted transaction, use its hash and the relevant network’s public records to check status.
Seed phrases, private keys and verification codes should never be sent through chats, forms, remote-control tools or unfamiliar websites.
Check the source before installing or updating and keep the device and security environment under your control.
What to look for in a network reminder
The first question for a network notice is scope. Identify the specific chain and then determine whether the change affects gas, block confirmations, contract interaction, bridging or withdrawal timing. Similar address formats do not make a notice universal across chains. EVM-compatible networks can share an execution model while chain IDs, fee assets, contract deployments and network conditions remain independent.
If a transaction has already been submitted, a later network notice does not rewrite the transaction that was signed. Use the transaction hash to inspect the actual on-chain state and distinguish a wallet interface that has not refreshed from a transaction that is still awaiting confirmation. Before submitting again, check whether the original transaction is still pending so a troubleshooting attempt does not create extra fees or duplicate activity.
How a security notice should change your next step
Security notices often relate to phishing domains, impersonated support, malicious signatures, broad approvals, remote-control requests or clipboard replacement. If a notice matches what you are currently doing, stop the transfer or signature and independently verify the domain, account, network, destination and contract. A request for a seed phrase, private key or verification code should not continue simply because it claims to be needed for identity checks, asset recovery or an urgent upgrade.
A wallet connection is not the same as an asset approval, and a message signature is not automatically equivalent to a harmless login. Different requests can have different consequences, so the button label alone is not enough. For token approvals, inspect the spender, allowance and intended use, and consider removing permissions that are no longer needed. Third-party DApps and smart contracts can add risk through contract behavior, front-end changes or service operation.
Connect product notes to the actual usage path
A useful product note explains where information can be found and what should be checked next. An asset list can display balances without proving every token is verified. A wallet activity view helps organize history, while the final transaction state is still determined by the relevant chain. Changing networks changes the action environment, so assets, gas and target contracts should be reviewed again after a switch.
Downloading, creating a wallet, backing it up, receiving, sending and connecting to a DApp are consecutive but distinct stages. Each has its own checkpoint: verify the source when obtaining the product, keep recovery material offline after creating a wallet, match addresses and networks for transfers, and review every signature or approval independently after a DApp connection. Placing an update back into this path makes it easier to decide whether it actually affects the action in front of you.
How to decide whether an update applies to you
A five-step check works well. Confirm the source; identify the product function or blockchain network involved; look for any request to transfer, sign, approve or disclose sensitive information; compare the notice with the wallet’s current state and public on-chain data; and only then decide whether action is needed. If the source is unclear or the request cannot be explained, stopping is more dependable than using a consequential transaction as a test.
The purpose of an update is to improve a decision, not to manufacture urgency. Network conditions, protocol rules, DApps and service terms can change, so current verifiable information matters. If a notice does not affect the network, account or function you are using, a dramatic headline by itself is not a reason to change an otherwise valid workflow.
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.
